What if the real reason your downloads drop in December has nothing to do with listeners disappearing—and everything to do with the content you publish?

Most podcasters assume Christmas kills their momentum, but top podcasters on Christmas quietly gain more visibility, build deeper listener loyalty, and position themselves for a massive January surge. The difference? They understand how listener psychology shifts in December and they create content that meets listeners in the moment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How holiday routines change listener behavior—and how top podcasters on Christmas adapt to it
2. Why generic episodes flop in December and what timely content your audience actually wants
3. The simple seasonal strategies top podcasters on Christmas use to grow when everyone else goes dark

If you want to start 2026 with momentum instead of recovering from a December slump, press play and learn exactly how to stay relevant while everyone else disappears.
