Have you ever done a closet purge? If so, you probably discovered that different items fall into different categories. From your day-to-day items to seasonal and special occasion clothing, each type of clothing serves a different purpose based on your needs.
And those closet categories are similar to your podcast categories and content. By creating different types of episodes, you can serve your audience in a unique way. Today, we're talking about the four types of episodes that every podcaster should be weaving into their long-term podcast strategy plan - Foundational, Evergreen, Seasonal, and Social Proof episodes.

Your Podcast is a powerful tool that serves your audience and your business. But how do you manage it all bring in new listeners, and convert those listeners into customers. That's what this show is all about. Welcome to podcasting for educators. I'm Sara Whitaker, classroom teacher turn podcast manager. And I'm here to help you get the most out of your show, all while making an impact on other educators. Hey there and welcome back to another episode of podcasting for educators. I recently did a big purge of my closet, it was getting really crazy in there, I realized that I was holding on to some pieces of clothing that I just needed to let go. This really all started last year when I did a mini cleanout, I told myself that if I went through the entire next year without wearing a piece of clothing, then that piece of clothing was going to get donated. So the time came for me to buckle down and get it done. I really wanted to minimize the clutter in my closet and think about the purpose that each piece of clothing had. Because they really do all have different purposes. You've obviously got your undergarments, which really kicks off any outfit that you put on and then your other articles of clothing fall into all different kinds of categories, you need your day to day staples. If you're work from home girly, that might be your black leggings, your favorite sweatshirts, things that you kind of wear all throughout the year. You've got your seasonal clothing, your sweaters for fallen winter, your lighter clothing for spring and summer. And then you've got your clothes that you know are only coming out for special occasions like your cocktail dresses, your skirts, your suits, those more kind of special occasion, dress up kind of pieces of clothing. Each of these types serves a different purpose based on the need that you have that day. And the same is true for your podcast content, you can create different types of episodes that each serve your audience in a really unique way. Today, I want to talk about four essential types of episodes that every podcaster should be weaving into their content strategy. Those four types of episodes are your foundational episodes, Evergreen episodes, seasonal episodes, and social proof episodes. So let's go ahead and get into it. Number one,
