Taylor Swift’s engagement isn’t just celebrity gossip, it’s the biggest podcast marketing lesson of the year.

Swifties aren’t only streaming her music, they're buying the exact Ralph Lauren dress she wore in her engagement photos and crashing ticket servers because they feel like they know her (even though in reality, they don’t).. That’s not hype, it’s human psychology. And nowhere do you have a bigger opportunity to tap into that exact same psychology than as a podcast host.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Swiftie or not: if you want to learn how to apply listener psychology to turn casual listeners into raving fans who binge your show and buy from you, hit play and let’s dive in.

Taylor Swift’s Engagement Just Handed Us The Biggest Podcast Marketing Lesson Yet

You’ve niched down (at least, you think you have). You’ve defined your ideal listener, picked a category, maybe even reworked your show description and cover art (twice). But deep down, you’re wondering… have I niched down too far? Or not far enough?

In this Fix My Pod session, I help Anthony uncover the subtle red flags that were keeping listeners from hitting play on his content, and show you how to spot (and fix) the same signs in your own podcast so it’s impossible for your dream listeners to scroll past.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether your podcast is “specific enough” to stand out (and secretly worried that it’s not), hit play and let’s dive in.

Fix My Pod | Is Your Audience Too Broad to Grow? Here's How to Tell

Hot topics get clicks. But what about the episodes you want to record, even if they’re not “trendy” or SEO-friendly? It's a smart question, and it begs an even bigger one: how do you make every episode sound like a must-listen so listeners can’t help but hit play, no matter what you’re talking about?

In this episode, I’m answering both and showing you how to strike the right balance between trending topics and thought leadership content that sets your show apart—and how to package those less “obvious” topics so listeners instantly see why those episodes are worth their time, too.

I’m breaking it all down in a simple framework you can steal right now so you can create a podcast you’re genuinely proud of (and never bored recording). So if you want every episode to earn its spot in your feed and get more listeners hitting play—hot topic or not—hit play and let’s dive in.

Q + A | How Do You Make Listeners Care About Non-Trendy Topics?

Think your podcast doesn’t need to solve a problem? In this episode, fellow podcast host and wine educator Kristi Mayfield shares how uncovering the problems her listeners cared about turned her “just for fun” show into a Top 100 podcast that’s now positioned to drive real revenue—and how you can do the same.

We’re breaking down how to find the problems your show solves, why they don’t have to be deep or life-changing to hook listeners, and why this one thing matters more than your audio quality, episode length, or even your guest lineup.

So if you want your podcast to stop being an expensive hobby and start positioning you for paid speaking gigs, clients, and revenue, hit play and let’s dive in.

The One Thing Every Podcast Needs to Make New Listeners Hit Play | Kristi Mayfield

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? Hit play and let’s dive in.

3 Tests Every Podcaster Should Run Before Their Next Episode Airs | Jay Nachlis

Most podcasters rely on feedback from listeners and fans to figure out whether their podcast is good—and it’s costing them hundreds (even thousands) of potential new listeners who decide within seconds if your show is worth their time.

In this episode, Jay Nachlis, VP at Coleman Insights, joins me to reveal why this kind of surface-level feedback gives you a false sense of success, the blind spots that make new listeners tune out in the first 7 seconds, and how to get reliable input from real podcast listeners who don’t know you (and don’t already trust you)—so you can see exactly what first impression your show is making and what to refine so your show hooks new listeners right from the start.

So if you’ve ever logged into your podcast dashboard and wondered why your downloads still aren’t moving, this episode will give you answers you won’t find in your analytics. Hit play and let’s dive in.

0:32 – Why Friends’ Feedback Won’t Grow Your Podcast

1:39 – What Loyal Listeners Won’t Tell You (But New Listeners Will)

4:25 – The A/B Test That Shows Why People Hit Play

How to Find Out What Listeners Really Want From Your Podcast | Jay Nachlis, Coleman Insights

Ever finished an interview and thought, “Well, that sucked”? Your audience felt that too — and one boring, rambling guest can make even your most loyal listeners question if they should ever hit play on your show again. But when your guests deliver specific strategies and bold takes they can’t get anywhere else, listeners finish the episode, tell a friend, and trust you more with every listen.

We're breaking down why “good on paper” guests don’t guarantee bingeworthy interviews, the four red flags to look for in guest pitches that scream “don’t book me,” and the guest vetting filter you can start using today to make sure every interview earns its place in your feed.

So if you’re done booking guests who *look* like a home run (only to yawn through their interview and later air it out of obligation) this episode shows you exactly how to fix it. Hit play and let’s dive in.

1:17 – 3 Guest Booking Mistakes That Cost You Listener Trust (and How to Avoid Them)

6:35 – Why “Good on Paper” Guests Don’t Guarantee a Bingeworthy Episode

8:52 – 4 Red Flags in Guest Pitches That Lead to Forgettable Episodes

14:30 – Why Your Guest Prep Needs to Go Deeper Than ChatGPT

The Guest Booking Strategy That Saves You From Boring Guests

You’ve done everything the podcasting experts say to do: publish weekly, stay consistent, share on social. Maybe you’ve even changed your cover art, rewritten your description, or tested a new format. But the listens STILL aren’t coming (and you’re low-key resenting how much time you’ve spent talking to an empty room.)

Most podcasters think it’s a marketing problem. But more often, it’s messaging — starting with your episode titles. And the longer you misdiagnose it, the longer your podcast stays invisible while someone with half your expertise gets the clicks. In this Fix My Pod session, I help Jennifer spot why her dream listeners weren’t hitting play — and how a few small title tweaks can help your podcast get discovered, opened, and actually listened to.

So if you don’t want to spend another hour crafting episodes no one hears or talks about, hit play and let’s dive in.

Fix My Pod | Not Getting Listens? It Could Be Your Episode Titles

If you’re tired of posting content to social media trying to grow your podcast only to get four likes and no new downloads—the problem isn’t the algorithm. The problem is that you’re expecting social to drive podcast growth instead of letting your podcast drive your social strategy.

That's because social isn’t where people go to discover your podcast. It’s where they decide if they trust you enough to listen to your show in the first place. That's why in this episode, I'll show you how to reverse-engineer your social media strategy, using your podcast as the engine behind scroll-stopping short-form content that builds trust, keeps you visible, and shortens the path to sales. 

So if you're ready to build an online presence that reinforces your podcast *and* the bigger message you’re here to share, hit play and let's dive in.

Why Your Social Posts Aren’t Driving Podcast Growth

If you’ve ever thought, “My content’s so good—so why aren’t more people listening?”  the problem might not be your content at all. It might be what your podcast is saying about you before people ever hit play (and what you’re saying once they do). Because even if your episodes are packed with value, if your show doesn’t clearly signal why people should pick your show out of hundreds of others they could listen to, the right listeners will scroll right past it.

That’s exactly what was happening for Cheryl Fischer, too. In this episode, you’ll hear how she went from doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, to rebranding her show in a way that finally got the right listeners tuning in, reaching out, and seeing her as the expert they wanted to work with.

So if you're ready to stop blending in and uncover the messaging gaps that are keeping the right listeners from hitting play, sharing your episodes, and emailing you asking, “How can I work with you?”—hit play and let’s dive in.

How to Position Your Podcast So People Want to Work With You | Cheryl Fischer

Unlike other podcasts about podcasting that only cover the basics like tech and logistics, here you won't find the kind of podcasting tips you can get on Google.

Because if high-quality audio, publishing valuable episodes every week, and "staying consistent" was the secret to a profitable top podcast, then that would mean everyone who spent over $100 on a mic and gives their best stuff away for free in every episode would be ranking in the Top 100 every week — and we both know that's not the case.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or online expert who wants to start a podcast that actually gets noticed (or if you've already launched but you’re still getting less than 1k downloads per episode and aren’t converting as many leads as you want) you're in the right place.

As a Forbes-featured Top 1% podcast host who's been dubbed “The Podcast Whisperer'' by CEO Weekly, Courtney Elmer is known as the leading authority on the psychology behind what makes podcasts succeed (or fail). After spending more than four years studying what separates successful podcasts from the ones that go unnoticed, Courtney and her team have helped over 60+ business owners and experts rank their podcasts in the Top 100 and turn their show into their #1 source of organic leads by applying the science of human behavior and psychology to podcasting.

Ready to learn what separates today's top podcasts from the ones that go unnoticed so you can create a bingeworthy show that people are actually excited to listen to, rank your podcast in the charts every week, reach a global audience with your message, and convert more listeners into clients and customers? Hit play and let's dive in.
