9). Podcasting Blunders to Avoid

Podcasting is a two-way process. You're either creating community, or you're broadcasting.

Request reviews, conduct polls, holler at listeners, and take questions. Engage your audience and make them feel heard.

Flying blind without listener response or analytics means you'll just keep repeating the same mistakes. Do it: Track what works by checking your podcast hosting company's analytics. Ask listeners for feedback through surveys or social media. 15. Giving Up Too Soon Podcasting is a long-term game. Most shows do not blow up overnight. Set attainable goals, acknowledge small wins, and be consistent. Momentum accumulates over the long term. ✅ Final Thoughts Errors are a part of the podcasting process—but being able to learn from them is what makes successful podcasters.
