Finding recent podcast binge (part 2)

I need some help figuring out how podcast listeners are actually finding new shows! Tell me about how you found your most recent podcast binge:

On today's episode of Podcasting Momentum, I talk about podcast marketing mistakes, tips for independent podcasters, and how to stay laser-focused on your podcast's "why". It's a very fun conversation! buzzsprout.com/2381016/episod…

@alexsanfilippo8 I’m frustrated for you… but also a little jealous of your mandatory Meta sabbatical. I hope this gets ironed out soon. What a headache!

Without warning, my Facebook account was completely deleted, and I'm banned from the platform. As someone who has used Facebook since 2005, I was caught off guard by this... I’ve been back and forth with them to determine what caused my account to be blocked (and whether I could get it back). I don’t use any plugins, AI tools, or VAs, and I don't run any outreach/DM campaigns. I’ve been at a loss. But, finally received word about what caused it. Turns out, it was my last Facebook post that got me blocked. It’s the same post I shared here on LinkedIn where I talked about the struggle of being a “front-line founder.” Apparently, the notion that being there for the people you serve is a better way to run a business is offensive to Meta's team. Someone saw it and completely blocked/banned my account. 4 things we can all learn from this: #1. Social media is rented space; you don't own it. At any time, Facebook or any other platform reserves the right to delete you from their platform. Don’t build your business or brand on any of these platforms! #2. Even though I'm now banned from Meta, they're still billing me for my verified account with no way to cancel it. As a business owner, make sure you use virtual credit cards to easily sort this kind of thing out! #3. Standing up for what you believe in and doing the right thing is going to cost you. It’s going to be uncomfortable at times. But it’s 100% worth it to help pave the way for others! #4. Don’t get mad at it. Find the positive in every negative situation. I think it’s pretty cool that someone high up enough at Facebook not only saw my post, but got so offended by it that they rage-deleted my account. Knowing that even my small reach and voice can reach people who need to hear it (even if they don't receive it) is amazing! One blessing is that it’s been nice not using Meta products for the past 2 weeks; I’ve reclaimed some of my time... But I do miss my podcasting friends!

@alexsanfilippo8 There are some things too great for the english language. 🤣

@JordanPods I have no words

This may be the best year yet

At Buzzsprout, we produce 4 podcasts. All with female hosts & 2 men co-host only 1 with me. In our massive community and at conferences, I see women everywhere. Just makes me wonder if this is actually an industry-wide gap or a gap perceived by where and how we measure creators?

This data surprised me. According to The Creators 2025, nearly twice as many men as women create podcasts As a woman in podcasting, this hasn’t felt like my experience. Which feels weird to say...but it feels like a good thing! soundsprofitable.com/article/the-ga…

Taking time to brag about how spectacular my listeners are! They support the show every single day with engagement. In fact, they are in the top 1% of all Spotify’s listeners for sharing, and commenting, and marathoning my podcast. THIS feels like a successful podcast to me.

It's beautiful

My biggest takeaway as a content creator from @taylorswift13's appearance on @newheightshow is focus your energy on creative output and fan engagement, anything outside of that is irrelevant to you. 🔥

4. Let your work speak for you. "My business is is making music and taking care of my fans...And everything else I'm just sort of like, it's not my business." You don't need to justify your content to those who aren't fans.

It's been less than 24 hours since @taylorswift13's podcasting debut. Around the 1:20 mark, she talks about how people can drain your energy and drive if you let them. This advice is gold for podcasters like me that give strangers on the internet far too much attention. (🧵)
