If your podcast isn’t bringing in more listeners month over month, the problem usually isn’t your content. It’s the invisible leaks inside your podcast funnel that no one’s taught you how to find yet. And in this episode, we're changing that. I'm walking you through the exact steps to diagnose where listeners are dropping off inside your show from the moment they first see your podcast to the moment they decide whether or not to follow, return, or buy. You’ll also learn how to measure the three decisions listeners make as they move through your show, and pinpoint the one that needs attention first.

So if you want a clear, data-backed way to understand where your podcast is losing listeners (and how to fix it STAT), hit play and let’s dive in.

Most podcast hosts chase “growth” without understanding how a podcast funnel actually works. And if you’re only looking at downloads or list sign-ups, you’re missing the two earlier moments that decide whether anyone ever hits play in the first place. So let’s fix it.

I’m breaking down the three conversion points that determine your podcast’s ability to attract new listeners, keep them listening, and drive revenue long-term. You’ll see exactly what “good” actually looks like (with real benchmarks), and how to read your data inside of Spotify and Apple so you can spot the exact moment listeners are silently dropping off inside your podcast funnel and fix the leaks fast.

So, if you’re done crossing your fingers every time you publish and you want a show that actually converts, hit play and let’s dive in.

2:43 – The One Conversion Metric Every Host Ignores (And Why It Kills New-Listener Growth)

4:30 – The Spotify Numbers That Instantly Tell You If Your Cover Art and Title Are Working
