Is it possible that more reach is actually the reason your podcast growth has been stuck for years?

You’ve followed the advice.

You’ve chased bigger guests, posted more clips, and pushed harder on promotion — yet your podcast growth hasn’t moved. If that sounds familiar, this episode exposes the uncomfortable truth most podcasters avoid: the real bottleneck isn’t more reach… it’s podcast retention.

In this episode, we break down the exact blind spot that keeps business owners and experts trapped in “busy but stuck” mode, why doing everything “right” can still lead to flatlined numbers, and how living in podcasting La-La Land quietly kills momentum.

By listening, you’ll discover:

1. Why podcast growth stalls even when you’re getting more reach — and how retention leaks sabotage results
2. The 3 critical questions that reveal whether your podcast retention is broken before you waste more time promoting
3. How to turn strangers into loyal listeners who binge your content instead of bouncing
