Why Podcasts Lose Listeners (How to Stop Breaking the ‘Quiet Agreement’)

from Podknows Business Network

Most podcasts don’t lose listeners because the content is bad — they lose them because trust gets broken quietly.Every time someone presses play, they’re making a small agreement with you.And most podcasts break it without even realising.In this episode, I unpack the idea of the “quiet agreement” — and why most if not all small podcasts break it, at least at first.I also share a simple test you can run on yourself to check whether your episodes earn the next listen.If you want your podcast to feel intentional, human, and worth sticking with — this episode will change how you think about every minute you record.Links:🔗 Podmastery site – https://podmastery.co🔗 Book a Podcast Audit – https://podmastery.co/lite
