63: Your Podcast Isn’t Bad, It’s Just Invisible to the Algorithm

Your podcast content is solid, but your downloads aren't moving and new listeners aren't finding you. You've stayed consistent, created quality episodes, and you're wondering why discovery still isn't kicking in. If you can't figure out why your good content isn't getting found, this episode shows you exactly what's blocking your podcast growth.

I'm breaking down how podcast algorithms actually work, what signals platforms are scanning for, and why clever episode titles and vague descriptions kill discoverability. You'll learn how to translate your show so it actually appears in search results without gaming the system.

Confusion kills podcast discoverability every time. Your show needs to clearly answer one question for the algorithm: "Who is this for?"

If you've been creating great content but can't figure out why it's not showing up anywhere, this is what you're missing.
