Your podcast looks consistent. You're showing up, publishing episodes, doing everything you're supposed to do. But your downloads feel stuck, your leads are nonexistent, and growth feels completely random. Sound familiar?

Here's what's happening: you're reacting to metrics instead of investigating what's blocking your podcast growth strategy. Before I ever worked in podcasting, I investigated fraud. And the number one rule I learned? The loudest clue is rarely the right one.

In this episode, I'm showing you how to read your podcast data like an investigator, the three patterns I see in every stuck podcast, and how one client increased downloads by 61% by clarifying just three things. This is how you stop guessing and start growing.
