About this episode
It’s great to hear “I love your podcast!” from friends and fans — but let’s face it, we BOTH know that this kind of feedback won’t tell you why new listeners stop listening after one episode (or worse, why they aren’t hitting play to begin with).That’s why Jay Nachlis, VP at Coleman Insights (the research powerhouse behind some of today’s most listened-to shows), joins me back inside this episode to share the surprising patterns behind what makes listeners hit play or scroll past a show. Plus, you’ll learn three quick tests you can run on your podcast right now that will show you what’s working (and what’s not) before you hit “publish” on your next episode.Ready to find out why new listeners actually choose ( or skip ) your show?
