Started a podcast and it feels like nobody's listening? Or haven't you started yet, because you're scared that's exactly what'll happen?

I launched Getting Heard from zero on purpose, brand new accounts with not a single follower carried over, so you could see what starting from scratch really looks like. And even ten years and more than a thousand podcasts into doing this for other people, the quiet at the start still got to me.

In this Pod Shot I talk about what that silence actually means, the exact point where most podcasts die (it's got nothing to do with whether they were any good), and who, in my experience, is nearly always the first person to tell you they've been listening. It might not be who you'd expect. Plus one small thing I want you to do today to get comfortable with a bit of silence before you've even pressed record.

It's four minutes, press play.

New Pod Shot every weekday, and you can come and find me on Instagram and TikTok: @lynsaymakeswaves
