#35 - There’s A BIG Difference Between Listens and Listeners

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Growth University—a podcast about podcasts with your host, Kevin Palmieri. He is also the co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 Self-Improvement podcast with more than 1,200 published podcasts. Their podcast team, Next Level Podcast Solutions, has published over 2,000 podcasts, so best believe that Kevin knows what he is talking about.

When starting a podcast, it's essential to understand the basics: podcast listens and podcast listeners. Podcast listens refers to the number of people who have played your podcast episode. Podcast listeners, on the other hand, are the people who do listen to your podcast and may or may not listen consistently every time you have a new episode. Today Kevin takes a deep dive and differentiates the two, and gives you tips on how to make your random listeners stay for the long haul.
