286 - Smart Podcast Growth Strategy, Spotify Glitches & Stronger Podcast Communities
Manage episode 477654437 series 3552050
Today, I kick things off with an underrated listener growth strategy that came from a simple Facebook Groups thread. From there, we get into a lively conversation about podcast promotion, engagement tactics, and why small steps can lead to big community wins.
We also touch on a spike in female podcast listenership, the latest AI-generated image trend (and how to create your own) Nick Nalbach is trying to start, and a midweek meltdown from Spotify (and Zoom) that had creators and listeners scratching their heads. Plus, an important update on music takedowns — and what’s actually changing inside Spotify’s enforcement process.
