✂️ CREATOR CUTS💡

📝 Podcast chapter markers explained (Blog)

As a podcast listener, I've benefited from these for years. As a podcast creator, I'll admit that I've only just started to use them. Honestly? I didn't know they were that easy to implement.

(Old news to you? Then have your say in this week's poll, further down!)

📝 Everything you need to know about your podcast on Spotify (Blog)

The Big Green Dot takes a lot of (often justified) flak, but we can't ignore its role in podcasting. Here are some essential tips to optimise your show on the platform, from publishing episodes and enhancing your show notes to calculating listen time and running growth partnerships.

🎧How to reach older or less tech-savvy listeners (Podcraft)

In this listener coaching episode, Indy outlines podcast plans for his online gardening club, Tender Shoots, aimed at listeners aged 65 to 100. His mission is to make the experience simple, welcoming, and accessible. No technical headaches, just great gardening advice.

📝 You only need 27 downloads to be in the top 50% of podcasts (Blog)

And here’s why 27 downloads shouldn’t be dismissed: A room full of people who have chosen to spend real time with your podcast is worth a whole lot more than thousands of passive views on a newsfeed or timeline.

🧘Mindful interviewing and "Yes, and..." (Mindset Moments)

Almost all improvisation training centres around two words: “yes, and.” Whatever the other person says is an offer. You, in turn, accept and build on it. So what can interview podcasters learn from this?

👥 Which episode from your podcast would you submit to the Podcast Hall of Fame? (Community)

Think about what makes this episode stand out. Is it the storytelling, the interviews, or the topic itself? Maybe it marked a turning point for your podcast, or sparked real conversations with your listeners. Have your say in the IndiePod Community - it's free!
