Want to know the most annoying word on a podcast? Then this episode of Podcast Theory is for you!
This is Part 3 of 5 in my series "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" and today, I'm covering another item that keep your listener from getting to the heart of your content once they click play.
If you listened to Parts 1 & 2 in this series, you discovered that attention spans are at an all-time low for adults (clocking in at a whopping 8.25 seconds).
With that number in mind, getting your listener to the main reason they clicked play on your podcast episodes is at an all-time high.
In this episode, you'll discover something that can easily be removed from your production and, if need be, used in a better way to keep your listeners invested until they reach the end of your episode.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
