338. Podcasting - What's Working in 2026

Author: Salome Schillack January 27, 2026 Duration: 26:24

If your podcast growth has flatlined, it's not your content—it's the platforms. And I'm going to prove it. 🚀

The algorithms have changed. They're no longer pushing shows to new listeners like they used to. Now they reward volume—more episodes, more output, more downloads. And that's pushing course creators into some uncomfortable corners.

When I relaunched my show in 2024, I discovered something surprising: more episodes helped me go deeper with existing listeners, but not wider. That's when I found the real growth lever for podcasters in 2026—and it's probably not what you think.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Why the podcasting landscape has fundamentally shifted

  • The difference between growing downloads and reaching new listeners

  • The single most effective podcast growth strategy most creators overlook

  • My 2026 playbook for video, clips, and community-driven growth
