Why Podcast Discovery Feeds Are Broken and How to Fix Them
from The Podcast Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Audio Strategy, Audience Growth, and Show Promotion · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna explore why podcast discovery feeds often bury great shows under algorithm noise. They dissect the case of a marketing podcast that saw a 34 percent drop in new listeners after Apple Podcasts redesigned its discovery feed in late 2025, then recovered by changing its show description and episode metadata. The hosts walk through three concrete fixes: rewriting your show's subhead with keyword density, using episode-level tags to signal topics, and creating a 'hook episode' listed in the first five results. Listeners learn exactly how to audit their own show's discoverability without relying on black-box algorithms. #PodcastDiscovery #AlgorithmChange #ApplePodcasts #PodcastMetadata #ShowNoteSEO #KeywordDensity #EpisodeTags #HookEpisode #PodcastAudit #DiscoveryFeed #PodcastMarketing #MarketingStrategy #AudioStrategy #AudienceGrowth #PodcastPromotion #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
