Bad reviews suck. Whether you just got one or you’re still ruminating over the one you got 4 years ago, getting a bad review on your podcast is never a fun experience.

You’ve put so much time, energy, and money into this podcast and now someone who listened to 3 minutes of 1 episode is giving you a 2 star review because “your voice is unbearable and there’s too many ads”.

Over the years I’ve had more than my share of bad reviews, trolls, bots, haters and downright rude people commenting on my podcasts. This episode is about bad podcast reviews: how to deal with them, what you can learn and finding peace in the truth not everyone will like your podcast.

In this episode:
(1:34) One inevitable truth of podcasting. 
(2:08) The different kinds of bad reviews.
(4:34) The first thing you need to look for in a bad review.
(6:11) How to identify actionable feedback from bad reviews (and avoid more bad reviews)..
(8:26) What to do after you get a bad review.
