Ever finish recording and think, “Wow… that was rough”? You’re not alone, and your podcast isn’t doomed.
In this episode of The Power of the Podcast, we dive into the most common podcast mistakes that even seasoned hosts make and what to do when your episode doesn’t meet your expectations. Whether you're just starting out or deep into podcasting for small business, you’ll learn how to quickly diagnose quality issues, recover gracefully, and turn a failed episode into a valuable learning opportunity.
We’ll share actionable podcast production tips to improve your podcast quality and ensure you’re creating content that builds trust and supports your broader content strategy. More importantly, you’ll discover how to maintain audience retention even after a less-than-stellar episode because one bad show shouldn’t lose you loyal listeners.
You’ll learn why even pro podcasters have off days, how to prep smarter to avoid common podcasting errors, what to do when guests or tech fail mid-episode, and how to salvage weak recordings by repurposing strong moments. Plus, we’ll cover how to reflect, recover, and stay authentic throughout your podcasting journey.
