Is Your Private Podcast a Replacement for Your Public Podcast

This was an unexpected question that came up after we launched The Podcast Newsroom in 2021: Could your private podcast replace your public podcast? While public podcasts are great for getting discovered, private podcasts offer a more targeted audience and deeper connection with your listeners. On the other hand, private podcasts allow you to see exactly what your listeners are listening to and make it easier to convert them. Public podcasts, on the other hand, offer discoverability and make it easier for listeners to share. So, which is it? Private podcast or public podcast?
