What Successful Podcasters Know That Others Don't

Podcasting Amplified: Podcasting for Business Growth and Marketing

You want listeners to pick your podcast over your competitors. So you work hard on making your podcast content as good as possible. But many podcasts with good content are still failing at driving results. And they fail because the right people don’t feel like the podcast is for them. In a crowded podcasting landscape, clarity is essential. Listeners choose the podcast that feels like it understands their exact problem. And that all comes down to one thing: knowing your ideal listener. In this episode, we go deep on how to identify who your podcast is for, not just in theory, but in a way...

What Makes A Good Podcast Host (14 Essential Tips)

Podcasting Amplified: Podcasting for Business Growth and Marketing

But what makes a good podcast host? Strong hosting keeps listeners engaged, brings out better insights from guests, and turns interviews into conversations people actually want to finish listening to. In this episode, I break down 14 essential skills and tactics that separate average interview podcasts from great ones, and why simply improving a few of these areas instantly puts you ahead of most...

The Playbook for Podcasting In 2026: The 5 Strategies That Matter

Podcasting Amplified: Podcasting for Business Growth and Marketing

Podcasting in 2026 is not the same game it was even two years ago. The industry has evolved, with new expectations from listeners and tools and strategies available to podcasters. And if you’re still podcasting like it’s 2019, you could be falling behind. But there’s also a lot of noise out there. Distractions from what’s really important. As of 2025, there are estimated to be around 4.5 million published podcasts. And the number of podcast listeners globally has climbed 7% from 2024. What that tells us is that there are still more listeners and shows than ever. That might sound like...

Podcasting Amplified: Podcasting for Business Growth and Marketing

I interviewed 52 podcasters over the last two years. Some award-winning, some who have made podcasting their livelihood, some who podcast as a hobby.

And I asked them all the one thing they wish they’d known before starting, that would have made the whole process easier and get them to that goal faster. So if you want to skip the mistakes other podcasters learned the hard way - stick with me. In this episode of Podcasting Amplified, we rapid-fire the smartest insights...
