Are you confident your podcast content is truly resonating with your audience? Many podcasters assume their content is "fine" without digging deeper. But there's a powerful way to gain invaluable insights directly from your listeners.

In this episode, I share a game-changing strategy I recently used at my new job with Podpage. By conducting one-on-one Zoom calls with users, we uncovered crucial feedback that transformed our product. This approach can work wonders for your podcast too!

Question of the Month

Don't overthink this one. Get ready for whatever comes into your mind. Ready?

What do you wish Dave would talk about on the show? (so many people don't answer this and say “I'm sure you've covered it, etc) Just give me the answer that popped into your head and forget if it's been covered. What do you need to learn about? (this is all about YOU).

Instead of playing all the answers together, I'll play them as I answer your question. If I don't have new material, I'll still give you a shout-out and point you to the previous episode. Don't forget to tell me a little bit about your show and your website address. I need your answer by 8/23/24
