444. Four Listener Questions Every Podcaster Can Relate To

Show Notes

There’s a familiar kind of stress that comes from caring about your podcast and not knowing if you’re doing it “right.” Today, we’re opening up the mailbag and addressing the kinds of questions that quietly weigh on podcasters. We explore how timing, platforms, and audience habits really intersect. We also discuss writer’s block and how better systems can help you move forward without waiting for inspiration to strike. Finally, we dig into a question from a camping podcast about gaining listener support when audiences are living their busy and active lives. We focus on meeting listeners where they already are and making support feel natural, not awkward.
