In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what podcast growth really looks like in 2025. From reworking my SEO titles (yes, I’m still tackling them one by one) to doubling down on the social platforms I actually enjoy, I’ll share the strategies that feel both sustainable and effective for long-term podcast growth. I also talk about my “mini podcast tour” this past summer, why I’m circling back to YouTube Shorts, and how AI supports my workflow without ever replacing the soul of my brand. Plus, I’ve got thoughts on the latest industry report from PodMatch—and what it means for indie podcasters like us who are focused on real, steady growth. Somewhere in there, I’ll also share an old stat that reminded me why small beginnings matter more than you think.
