Krissy Bold launched a parenting podcast with a confusing name, hour-long episodes no one finished, and a message no one was clicking on.

Then she made a few key changes and hit #3 in Parenting—outranking Big Bird, Blippi, and Frozen in under a week—and she’s been ranking on the top podcasting charts ever since.

What changed?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the key differences between a podcast people scroll past and one they binge, share, and rave about. Even better?
