Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! When most people talk about “repurposing” a podcast, they usually mean turning it into marketing content: clips, blog posts, newsletters, or social media. But this week on Buzzcast, we talked about using your podcast to create entirely new experiences for your audience. We looked at podcasts that turned recurring segments into conversation card games, created kid-safe spinoff feeds from existing episodes, and even organized real-world field tr...

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/05/05

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! If you're anything like me, updating ads and announcements used to be a hassle. Anytime I wanted to swap a promo, update a sponsorship, or change a call-to-action, I had to go back and edit each episode one by one. That was until I learned about Dynamic Content! Dynamic Content lets you add and remove time-sensitive content across your entire back catalog, without re-uploading anything. So instead of old promos and outdated messages sticking a...

Make Your Podcast Stand Out

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/04/28

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! I talk with podcasters all the time who don't launch their shows because they think there are already too many podcasts about their topic. They might be right; the category could be crowded. But instead of focusing on a category, they should be focusing on their niche. This week on Buzzcast, we break down the difference, and it’s one of those shifts that changes how you approach your entire show! A category is broad: business, paren...

2026/04/14

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Think about the last time you checked out a new podcast. You hit play…and within a minute or two, you decided whether to keep listening or move on. That’s not unusual. In fact, a huge chunk of listener drop-off happens in the first few minutes of an episode! Your intro is your podcast's first impression!

Maximize your CTA

2026/03/31

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! You’ve heard it at the end of nearly every podcast: “Follow the show, leave a review, check out our website, join the newsletter…” A classic call-to-action list. By the time it’s over, you’ve already tuned it out! The problem isn’t that CTAs don’t work, it’s that most of them ask too much. This week on Buzzcast, the team breaks down how to create a call-to-action that listeners actually complete without turning your podcast into a list of...

Get Booked on Podcasts

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/03/24

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! For years, we’ve said one of the fastest ways to grow a podcast is by guesting on other shows. But we hadn’t really tested it ourselves. So this year, we did! Jordan ran an experiment testing cold outreach, guest platforms, and everything in between and ended up getting booked on 8+ podcasts. What surprised her the most was how easy it was! Being a podcast guest isn’t about having a big audience or impressive credentials. Most hosts are...

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! A few weeks ago, Kevin tried something a little nerdy. He fed Buzzcast’s entire back catalog (titles, downloads, durations, and transcripts) into ChatGPT to see what patterns it could find. Within a few minutes, the AI was pointing out things we hadn’t noticed in years of producing the show. Which topics perform best, what kinds of conversations create the most engagement, and even how each host contributes to the flow of the episode! It ...

The Safest Ways to Add Music to Your Podcast

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/03/10

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Over the years, we’ve received quite a few emails from podcasters in a panic! Their latest episode had been removed from a directory because they used a popular song for the intro. Most of them assumed it was fine because they credited the artist or weren’t making money from the show. But most music is protected, and using it without permission can lead to takedowns. If you're using music in your show, the safest route is to use podcast-saf...

How to Edit for Content

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/03/03

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! When I first started podcasting, I thought editing meant fixing mistakes. I would cut out ums, clean up the noise, and try to remove a pause or two.But I remember finishing one recording that was technically "perfect," and the episode was still hard to follow. That's when I realized editing isn't just for audio, it is also about telling a story! This week on Buzzcast, the team is talking about audio content editing: how to shape the dialo...

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2026/02/17

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! At nearly every conference or meetup, someone says the same thing: “I didn’t realize how much I needed to meet other podcasters.” Because most of the time, this work happens alone. But that isolation doesn’t have to be part of the job. For many creators, local podcast meetups have helped turn solo work into a shared community! This week on Buzzcast, the team sat down with Badr Milligan, host of The Short Box Podcast and co-founder of ...

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! When you first start a podcast, everything feels exciting! Every recording is new, and every episode feels like progress towards your goal. But somewhere around six months in, that can change. Suddenly, what once felt exciting now just feels like routine, and podcasting slowly begins to feel more like work than a creative outlet.
