155. What a Stranger Sees Before They Ever Press Play on Your Podcast

If you have been pouring your heart into your podcast episodes and something still feels off, like the right people just are not finding you... this episode is going to explain exactly why. As a podcast listener myself and when I audit a podcast, before I ever hit play, I start with what I call the external elements. These are the four things a stranger sees before they ever hit play, and if they are not working together, it does not matter how good your content or your podcast episode is. This is the episode that changes how you think about your podcast entirely.

In this episode you will learn:

  1. Why I never start a podcast audit by listening to the content and what I look at instead
  2. The four external elements that determine whether a stranger presses play or keeps scrolling
  3. Why your cover art has less than five seconds to stop the right person
  4. How your podcast name could be costing you listeners without you even realizing it
  5. Why the author field is the most underrated piece of real estate on your entire podcast
  6. How to write a podcast description that makes your listener feel seen before they ever hit play
