Roast My Podcast | Podcast Marketing Teardowns & Growth Advice

You only get one shot to win over a new podcast listener. Which means you need to make your first impression count.

That’s where we come in.

In every episode, we roast one of our listener’s show’s podcast packaging to identify what they’re doing well to attract new listeners… and where they’re likely turning people off.

Step by step, we walk through the typical podcast listener acquisition process and dissect each show’s title, cover art, show description, episode titles & descriptions, and more.

Along the way, we break down the hidden psychology that causes listeners to choose one show over another, offer personalized marketing suggestions, and share our opinions on what works when it comes to podcast growth.

If you’re looking to increase your discoverability and improve your podcast listener acquisition, we’d love for you to join us, and—if you dare—submit your own show to be seasoned, skewered, and roasted by leaving us a review with your show name.
