Wavve Insights: Don't Sweat The Negativity, How to Learn From Criticism

There's been a lot of talk in the media about the harmful effects of negativity on social media platforms, largely among younger users. But the trolls don't discriminate, they're hiding under all sorts of social media bridges.

If you're a podcaster, putting your opinions and ideas out in a public forum is pretty much what you do. Some listeners are going to disagree with your content. Opinions as seemingly innocuous as whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich (it isn't), which Star Wars movie is the best (clearly Empire Strikes Back), or if pineapple belongs on pizza (nope) can bring out strong counter arguments.

Positive feedback can be motivating, and negative feedback can be challenging. How you respond to criticism can significantly impact your podcast’s growth and your relationship with your audience. Wavve has valuable tips on how to handle negative feedback on your podcast.
