The 'Why' of Your Podcast Isn't What You May Think

Another insightful article at Sounds Profitable turns around the question of, "what's the why of your podcast?" My insights...

  1. Listener's Motivation: The key to podcast success lies in understanding why your audience tunes in or tunes out. Find that crucial factor.
  2. Their Why vs. Your Why: Your podcast's purpose may differ from what your audience seeks. Aligning these "whys" is vital for success.
  3. Diverse Engagement Reasons: People listen to your podcast for various reasons. Dig deeper to uncover their true motivations.

Something the article doesn't say but I am going to...they may come for your content but they stay for you. Keep being you!
