“Your first ten episodes are your audition. They're the portfolio. They're the handshake.”I see too many podcasters treat those early episodes like practice rounds, but new listeners often go back to the beginning to decide if your show is worth their time.I think this episode is important because your first ten episodes are not just content. They are your foundation. They show people what your podcast is about, why they should trust you, and whether they want to keep listening.
