From Hidden Audience to Real Community

You have hundreds of thousands of listens, but you don't know who your listeners are. This episode tackles the gap between download counts and genuine community. We explore why Facebook Groups aren't "old school" (1.8 billion monthly active users), why Discord might actually hurt your async-listening audience, and the three-layer framework for turning passive listeners into active participants. Featuring research from Buzzsprout, Transistor, and a case study from Darknet Diaries.
