Why is sharing a podcast harder than sharing any other content? ThePodcastHost Weekly Digest


Hullo there!

Unless you're an eccentric millionaire who employs a team of professional podcast sharers, you've probably been struck by indecision when linking to your show in the past.

After all, sharing a blog, website, or YouTube channel is pretty straightforward—there really is only one link and one destination. But if someone says to you, "Oh, you do a podcast, don't you? Can you send me it, please?" What's your next step? One of the biggest strengths of podcasting is the seven billion places pods are consumed. But that's seven billion potential links to weigh up when you want to point someone towards it.

Fortunately, there are simple solutions to this, along with a few very handy tools. Get the scoop in our guide on How to Link to & Share a Podcast. And, as always, you'll find more aromatic and fresh content cooling on the metaphorical window ledge below. Enjoy!

Hey all! You might remember a while ago, Buzzsprout told us that getting 27 downloads per episode would put you in the top 50% of all shows on the platform. So we weren't suprised to find that half of all those who took our independent podcaster survey this year get less than 50 downloads per episode. But while 50 downloads is a great achievement, I was curious to know more about the 32% who have crossed that 100-download mark. What are these podcasters doing differently, and is there...

Hello, Podcrafters! I know... never used that term before, but I quite like it. 😂 What do you think? Anyway, big thanks to Colin for steering the ship while I had a wee family holiday. Tagging back in for him now as he does the same. I read in last week's email that he's thinking of starting a golf podcast. Strap in, I have dad jokes. 🙈 I can really see this as a show that will drive engagement. Of course, he’s still trying to iron out the details, but I’m sure it’ll be far from rough and...

Hey you, how's the week going? 😁 Getting chilly over here in our part of the world... 🌨️ Which usually just means to me: good excuse to stay in and play around with this bit of content I'm tinkering with! Don't judge me... but I've been playing a bit of golf recently, and the content obsessive in me can't help but collect recordings and videos out on the course. I'm honing, right now, what kind of angle I might take on a new podcast, but I've got some interesting ideas which I think will...
