Episode 1 • 31st January 2023 • The Podcast Space • The Podcast Space, Ana Xavier

What makes a podcast successful?

Success, for starters, means different things for different podcasters, and it certainly changes with time.

The tools evolve, and so does the strategy of making a successful podcast.

As a multilingual professional, I’ve produced hundreds of hours of podcast content as a producer, and co-host, since launching my first podcast back in Portugal in 2008. Since then, I’ve moved to London, UK, and I’m currently in Dallas, Texas, US, and the journey has taken me through incredible experiences that taught me everything I know today about podcasting.

With this podcast, I will be sharing the ins and out of how to create a show that helps you grow online in a way that works for you and avoids overwhelm.

Using my background in content strategy and media production, and my commitment to ethical podcasting, I'll teach you to create an authentic, long-term podcast strategy while having fun with the process.
