Episode notes

What everyone gets wrong about using social media to grow your podcast, and what you should be doing instead. There might be no more common question in podcasting than: “How do I get more listeners”. And there might be no more common answer than, “Be active on social media.” The result is that social media is by far the most popular marketing channel used by podcasters to (at least try to) get more listeners and grow their shows.
