Creating a community around your podcast can be tricky, but this week’s host has figured it out and shared the secrets to her success.


Tehya is the host of the For the Love of History podcast. She has a thriving community of loyal listeners after being in the podcasting game for the past 4 years. In this episode she talks how she helps her listeners feel like friends, her journey to finding a network and many other behind the scenes info about her and her show.


Topics discussed in this episode include:



  • Building a podcast community



  • Finding a podcast network



  • Dealing with imposter syndrome



  • Social media marketing for podcasters



  • Being vulnerable with your listeners



  • Using patreon as a podcaster




Tehya is such a wealth of knowledge for so many aspects of podcasting, but ESPECIALLY in building a community through your podcast. Here are the top 5 takeaways I have from my conversation with Tehya:



  • Create inside jokes that help your listeners feel like a community



  • Have an imposter syndrome folder



  • Have fun with your show, if you aren’t having fun change something



  • Treat your listeners like friends 



  • Be vulnerable with your listeners
