The Spotify Dilemma: Understanding Its Impact on Your Podcast Stats

Send us feedback/questions via Text
In today's episode, we explore various intriguing topics that resonate closely with the podcasting community. From the challenges of seasonal allergies affecting podcasters to the heated discussions about Spotify's handling of podcasting statistics and whether it's impacting download numbers, we cover it all. We also tackle the age-old debate of repurposing old episodes and when it might be beneficial for your show. Plus, the episode wouldn't be complete without a touch of humor, with discussions about pineapple on pizza and the ever-profound question, "Is a hot dog a sandwich?"
