Not all podcast ideas are created equal, especially when you’re just starting out.

In this episode, I answer a listener question about what makes a podcast idea bad and share the one mistake many new podcasters make when choosing a concept for their show.

If you want people to press play on your podcast, your idea needs to be more than just “talking to interesting people.”

What you'll learn:

• Why vague podcast ideas don’t work (especially if no one knows you)
• The common pitch that sounds good… but isn’t
• How to think about your show from your audience’s perspective
• What makes a podcast idea truly valuable and worth listening to
