In this episode, we’re tackling a contentious and under-discussed subject: buying podcast reviews. Very much akin to buying fake followers on Instagram, this practice may provide a temporary boost in numbers, but without genuine engagement and high-quality content, these numbers are unlikely to translate into long-term success. Are you tempted to buy podcast reviews? Is it fair to manipulate podcast ratings for personal gain?

I'll ask these hard questions and provide answers, that unravel the repercussions and drawbacks amid the initial appeal of a boosted reputation. Plus, I'll discuss alternatives to fake reviews, emphasising the significance of organic growth and genuine audience engagement. Remember; podcasting is a long game and I can never and will never be able to stress that enough.
