Show Notes
Most podcasts don’t lose listeners because the content is bad — they lose them because trust gets broken quietly.
Every time someone presses play, they’re making a small agreement with you.
And most podcasts break it without even realising.
In this episode, I unpack the idea of the “quiet agreement” — and why most if not all small podcasts break it, at least at first.
I also share a simple test you can run on yourself to check whether your episodes earn the next listen.
If you want your podcast to feel intentional, human, and worth sticking with — this episode will change how you think about every minute you record.
