If your podcast downloads feel stuck, your episode description might be the reason...even if your content is solid.

Here's what most podcasters miss: your episode description isn't just a recap. It's how podcast apps and search engines understand what your episode is about and who it's for. When your description is weak, your podcast is whispering into the crowded internet streets while better-optimized shows get all the clicks.

In this episode, I'm sharing one doable fix for your podcast episode description that boosts discoverability without recording a new episode or changing your entire podcast workflow. I'm also walking you through a real client example where rewriting just 10 descriptions led to a spike in downloads for older episodes with no new recordings, no extra promotion.
