I’m a kidnapping survivor. I was held captive for eight years, and I have documentation to support my story. Since then, I’ve dedicated part of my work to helping other survivors. I also wrote a book in honor of my own journey and the people who didn’t make it.

I’d like to bring more attention to this issue and raise awareness about what survivors go through. I’ve been thinking about starting by appearing on podcasts. I imagine true crime podcasts might be interested, but I honestly don’t know much about how people get invited onto podcasts in the first place.

Do you have any ideas on where to start or which types of podcasts might be interested in a story like mine?

I'm seeing a huge shift from audio-only podcasts to video podcasts, and I'm okay with that trend. However, I'm not comfortable recording myself talking on camera. My current format is a weekly audio monologue.

I've been thinking about adding relevant B-roll footage of myself making or doing something related to the topic I'm discussing + subtitles. But would that turn my content into more of a vlog than a podcast? And if so, would it still make sense to target a podcast audience, or would that be a mistake?

As a listener, what's the biggest turn-off?

For me are bad audio quality, long intros and too many ads.

Curious what makes other people quit an episode within the first few minutes.

Whether you've done 10 episodes or 1,000, I'm curious. What's something you've learned about podcasting that completely surprised you?

Could be about growth, listeners, guests, editing, promotion, or anything else.

I'd love to hear some lessons that only come from experience.

Fellow podcasters, I’m hitting a milestone today - I’m about to record my 100th episode (even though it won’t air for a while) did you do anything special for your 100th?
Did you decide it’s time to start doing anything different with your podcast since hitting this milestone?

We've released about 45 episodes of our podcast and finally feel like we've found our voice and rhythm. Now we're trying to figure out how to take it from "consistent" to "growing."

We're on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, and pretty much every major platform. We currently have around 600 YouTube subscribers. Our long-form content is steady, but our Shorts have slowed down recently, and overall view growth isn't where we'd like it to be.

We're considering hiring a content manager to help with content distribution, SEO, titles, thumbnails, clipping, and overall growth strategy.

My questions for more experienced podcasters:

• How do you track downloads, listens, and growth across all platforms?
• What metrics actually matter?
• At our stage, what should we focus on first?
• When did you decide to hire help, and what role made the biggest impact?
• What mistakes do newer podcasters make when trying to grow?
• If you were at 45 episodes and 600 subscribers again, what would you do differently?

I feel like I'm at the stage where I don't know what I don't know. Any advice, lessons learned, tools, dashboards, or growth strategies would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for a co-host for a podcast. The idea is mostly casual conversations, funny stories, life experiences, random topics, and good banter. You don't need podcast experience, just be comfortable talking. If you have any questions feel free to askl. Let me kow if you are interested.

Question for podcasters who've experimented internationally.

Did translating or localizing episodes actually move listener numbers?

I'm not talking subtitles.

I'm talking proper localization.

New intro.

New voice.

Adjusted pacing.

I've been wondering whether discoverability is the bigger issue than language itself.

For people who've tried it:

Was audience growth meaningful?

Or did the additional workload outweigh the gains?

Interested in hearing real experiences.

I am not tech savvy and need help deciding which camera I would need, or would an iPhone 14 suffice…?

which speaker and filters as well as obtaining background lighting, music and even screen panels or maybe those are provided by filter as well?

. I have content but I do t know how to get the technical stuff going.

Any help is appreciated please be kind - I am. 52 and the technical stuff doesn’t come so easily. Thank you so much in advance!

Hola a todoss :)) Soy una podcaster pequeña que acaba de empezar su tercera temporada, pero lamentablemente, a pesar de promocionar en tt, ig y hasta en un canal de difusión en whatsapp, no adquiero nuevos oyentes y es algo que me frustra un poco ya que mi comunidad es pequeña de por sí. Sé que no debería obsesionarme con los numeros, pero de veras que a veces me pregunto si el problema es no mostrar mi cara o algo. ¿Algún consejo? Lo agradecería un montonazo <3

Hello fellow Podcasters! First off, you're doing a great job. Having a podcast now seems to be something of a joke rather than something really special that we're sharing with the world, so from one podcaster to another, keep going.

Like the title says, I'm curious to know how you guys are making your podcast "more than a podcast," if you are (if it doesn't apply, please let it fly).

I have a handful of podcast listeners and I admire the pods that can get people talking and can create community within their listeners, people who can come together on nothing else but the grounds of "I love what I gain from this podcast." I already have a website for my podcast, but I would like to start a book club and a newsletter for my pod (we have a reading segment and I think email lists work better for me than keeping up with social media).

I am curious to know what you all are already doing and how that's going for you? Do you feel like it's worth the work? If social media is working for you, how are you maximizing that? If you're doing get-togethers with your listeners, how is that going? Thank you for all of your input!
