About this episode

The episode discusses challenges in podcast discoverability, updates from Podcast Movement, and tips for YouTube growth and marketing strategies.

Finding your podcast is still harder than it should be, and this week our cast and crew dig into why discoverability remains a challenge for indie creators. We also cover podcast movement updates, including the new community voting process for conference sessions, YouTube growth tips that many podcasters overlook, and the latest platform changes affecting creators.

Along the way, we discuss captions on YouTube, Facebook's creator updates, new recording tools, and what these shifts could mean for growing your show.
