Transcripts

Danny:

While it's always great to get a new review for your podcast, sometimes the notification turns to dread when you realise it's a bad one with one single star sitting next to it. After all, you put a lot of hard work into your podcast, so it hurts when you see a negative response, but you don't need to let it get you down.

Instead, ask yourself the following: does the review make valid points, maybe about sound delivery, etc. Or does the review come across as just some anonymous troll and it's your day to be picked on?

If it's the former, see where you can make adjustments to the points raised and even give a shout out on your podcast to thank the reviewer for helping improve the show. If it's the latter and just a troll, smile, ignore and move on, creating more of the stuff that you love. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
