How to Build Podcast Episodes That Keep Listeners Tuned In [192]
Description
Podcast growth isn’t just about hitting records and hoping for the best—it’s about keeping listeners engaged and making small, strategic shifts that keep your content fresh. But keeping your audience interested doesn’t mean you have to reinvent your entire show. Instead, subtle changes can make all the difference.
In this episode, Kristin sits down with podcaster Jerry Potter, who transitioned from radio to podcasting and knows firsthand the challenges of keeping content engaging. Together, they dive into a dynamic approach to podcasting that keeps listeners tuned in longer without overwhelming creators.
Here’s what you need to know to keep your podcast engaging and evolving:
- If your podcast feels stagnant, you don’t have to overhaul everything—just tweak how you deliver content.
- Modcasting is a game-changer. Adding structured content modules can help break away from the traditional podcast format while making episodes feel fresh and dynamic.
- Video accelerates trust. With AI-generated content on the rise, building real, human connection through video can help strengthen audience trust and engagement.
- You don’t have to throw out what’s working. Modcasting isn’t about starting over—it’s about refining and enhancing what you’ve already built.
“The trust acceleration that comes from video is on a whole new level.”
There’s no single formula for podcast success, but staying flexible and open to new formats can breathe new life into your show.
