In this episode, I’m breaking down why podcast intros matter so much—and why most of them quietly push people away instead of pulling them in.I know how frustrating it can feel to put time into recording, editing, and publishing, only to see people drop off almost immediately. The truth is, it’s often not your content—it’s how you’re introducing it. And once you notice it, you won’t be able to unsee (or unhear) it.Inside this episode, I walk you through the role your intro actually plays and how to think about it more strategically—without overcomplicating your process or scripting every word.Here’s what I explore:Why the first 30–60 seconds shape your episode’s success.What makes listeners stay vs. instantly tune out.How to think about podcast intro structure in a simpler, more effective way.If you’ve been second-guessing your podcast opening—or feeling like something’s “off” but you can’t quite pinpoint it—this episode will give you a clear shift in perspective on crafting stronger podcast episode intros.------------------Do you want to plan your podcast in 56 minutes?Grab your FREE audio guide here.Have a podcasting question, but want to keep it anonymous?Click here and get your question answered on the show.
