350 - Tips for a Beginner Podcaster

Do you assign numbers to your podcast episodes? Why or why not? Today we’re answering mailbag questions that go deeper than they seem. We unpack why some podcasters swear by numbering and others skip it entirely. Then, we share our deciding factors for using custom artwork in each episode and how that choice can affect branding and discoverability. We wrap up with a conversation that always gets people fired up… what matters more: great content or clean audio? These behind-the-scenes choices can shape how listeners experience your show from the very first glance, so we’re here to help you show up with clear intentions!
