One Simple Link to Get More People Listening to Your Podcast

Are you making it harder than it needs to be for people to listen to your podcast?

If you’re sharing an episode with your audience, you might be sending them to Spotify or Apple Podcasts. But what if they use a different podcast app? Or listen on a different device?

In this episode of Lead With Your Voice, I share one simple way to make your podcast episodes easier to find, play and save.

Instead of sharing separate links for Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms, you can share one link that gives listeners different options — including listening directly in their browser or choosing their preferred podcast app.

It’s a small change, but reducing friction can make a real difference. The easier you make it for someone to press play, save an episode and add it to their regular listening, the more likely they are to actually come back to your podcast.

I also share an invitation to my upcoming six-week live podcasting course (virtual) with Johns Hopkins University/Odyssey, starting October 22.

The course is open to podcasters worldwide and includes live sessions, replays and plenty of opportunity for individual support. The group is intentionally limited in size so you can get more than just another collection of podcasting tutorials.

If you’ve already launched your podcast and are wondering what comes next — how to make your podcast work harder for you, build confidence in your voice, and create something that actually supports your bigger work — this is for you.
