📅 46% publish podcasts weekly. Should you? (Podcraft Pointers)

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Hello, Podcrafters!

When we ran our Independent Podcaster Report late last year, we found that 46% of respondents dropped new episodes on a weekly basis.

23% published every two weeks, whilst 9% had no set release schedule.

Like much of podcasting, there's no right or wrong answer here. Throughout my podcasting "life", I've had no trouble getting solo and interview shows out regularly. But with my audio drama work, listeners are lucky if they see something new every two months.

So, before committing to a release schedule, or beating yourself up for feeling like you're not consistent enough, take a look at our podcast release frequency guide. It's packed with data, nuance, and practical advice on balancing workflow, quality, and staying in your listeners' heads.

👉 How Often Should I Release New Podcast Episodes?

Mic Drop Fact: Humans are surprisingly good at detecting rhythm.
Compared with most animals, humans are unusually good at synchronizing movement to a beat - one reason music is so universal across cultures.

⛔ Tech Getting in Your Way? 😣

Most podcasters don't start because they want to become audio engineers or spend hours editing.

We built Alitu so you could focus on your voice, your message, and your audience. Try it free for seven days, and see for yourself how quick and easy it makes everything.

Some notable features include text-based editing, automatic filler-word removal, and you'll be amazed at how it cleans up your audio and fixes the volume levels.

You can also record and publish your podcast in the Alitu interface, meaning you don't need multiple subscriptions to other platforms.

It's the ultimate all-in-one podcast platform, built for podcasters, by podcasters. And you can earn $25 for each new customer you refer to Alitu, too!

Cheers!
