How Often Should You Release Podcast Episodes?
You’ve launched your podcast. You’re proud of your episodes. Now comes the big question: How often should you publish new content to grow your audience and stay visible?
It’s a question every podcaster asks, and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Publishing once a week may sound ideal, but if it leads to burnout or a six-month pause, it won’t do you any favors. On the other hand, publishing only once a month might not be enough to stay top-of-mind (or top-of-search) on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts
The truth is: the best publishing rhythm is the one you can stick to over time. And the good news? There are smart ways to stay visible even if you don’t publish full episodes every week.
In this article, we’ll explore exclusive data from a study we conducted at Ausha to better understand how podcast visibility works on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. We’ll show you how publishing frequency impacts your discoverability and give you concrete, sustainable ways to stay visible. Read More

You know those buzzy viral clips you see on social media? There’s an army behind them.
Kanoah Cunningham is among the ranks of video-savvy young “clippers” who help streamers, podcasts and startups expand their audiences by making buzzy moments go viral on social media. Cunningham edits down clients’ long videos into short clips and then posts the shorts on sites like Instagram and TikTok.
It is lucrative work. In May, Cunningham quit his finance job and now runs a team of eight clippers. He said the operation earns him $20,000 to $30,000 a month.
Clipping is one of the hottest corners of marketing. Instead of just posting on their own accounts, creators and companies pay clippers like Cunningham to saturate TikTok and Instagram with bite-size videos until they are almost impossible to miss. One technique they use to grab attention on crowded social-media platforms: posting provocative or outrageous content. Read More

Great audio doesn’t come from buying the most expensive gear. It comes from knowing how to use what you already have. In this week’s 5 Minute Monday by Buzzsprout, they share four simple techniques, plus a bonus tip, that can make almost any microphone sound professional. Whether it is a $50 mic or a $400 one, the real difference is in your technique. Adding a pop filter to cut down on harsh P’s and S’s, speaking past the microphone instead of directly into it, setting your gain at the right “Goldilocks” level, and keeping the mic close all make a big impact. One more tip is to avoid holding the mic in your hands. Using a stand or boom arm is a small investment that instantly improves sound quality.
When you combine these steps, you will be surprised at how much cleaner and more professional your podcast sounds without spending hundreds of dollars on new gear. The best part is these changes are easy to put into practice right now. If you have been struggling with audio quality, remember that it is not about chasing the latest equipment. It is about using the right techniques so your podcast sounds sharp and your voice comes through the way it should. Watch Now

Unlike older listeners who grew up with traditional podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, Gen Z discovers content through social media and YouTube.
If you're trying to reach Gen Z listeners, the traditional "audio-only podcast uploaded to Apple Podcasts" approach isn't enough anymore. Read More
