Why Most Podcasts Die After Episode Three (And How Yours Won’t)
from Talking The Talk with Courtney Reimer · host Talking The Talk
Most podcasts don’t make it past episode three. The ideas are good, the host is talented, and there's maybe even a well-defined audience right there waiting for it (like Richard Marx in that song, #IYKYK). But they weren’t built to last, because they weren't built on solid, strategic, repeatable architecture. In this episode, you'll learn why podfade happens so often (and so early), and the simple shift that can keep your show alive long enough to actually earn its keep. We’re talking about: Why relying on one format (usually interviews) sets you up to fail The “Rule of Threes” that makes your podcast sustainable How to create episodes even when you’re tired, busy, or can’t book a guest And how to build a show that returns on your investment instead of becoming another abandoned feed If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, or you’ve already started one and feel that creeping drop in momentum… This one’s for you. *** Want support building a podcast that actually lasts?
