If you’re still thinking the secret to podcast audience growth is landing a big name guest, I have some news.

This episode is going to ruffle some feathers in the best way. Because the truth is, you don’t need viral guests or a massive Instagram following to grow your show. Beyond SEO for podcasts, you need strategy. You need visibility that actually converts.  And today, I'm sharing another podcast growth strategy that actually works!

Here’s what we’re covering inside:

  • The one mistake podcast guests keep making (and how it’s lowkey sabotaging your reach)
  • Why the “famous guest = podcast growth” formula is broken
  • The real MVP of podcast marketing strategies
  • A spicy checklist to help you become the guest that hosts rave about
  • What to stop doing immediately if you're serious about podcast visibility

We’re in the messy middle of building your foundation. These are the steps that lead to long term podcast audience growth, not short bursts of clout.

So if you’ve been wondering how to grow your podcast audience, and you’re done with the guesswork and gimmicks, this episode is for you!

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
