Your podcast intro has 7 seconds to

hook listeners or lose them forever. Most podcasters blow it with

generic music and boring introductions. Let's talk about the sound

design psychology that separates amateur podcasts from the ones

people actually binge.*

The Brutal Truth About First

Impressions



You've got brilliant content.

Game-changing insights. Stories that could transform lives. But

here's the thing - if your intro sounds like garbage, nobody will

stick around to hear any of it.



Bad sound design pushes people away

before they even get to your brilliance. It's like showing up to a

business meeting in pajamas. Sure, you might be a genius, but

nobody's going to take you seriously.

After 13 years of producing podcasts,

I've seen it all. The good, the bad, and the "oh dear Lord, make

it stop." Let's make sure yours falls into the first category.


Watch along as I show you how to do this yourself on this video:
