373 - Building a Spin-Off Podcast Without Restarting

One podcaster’s history show is connecting with both parents and kids. But now comes the hard part: should they launch a separate kids’ podcast or add child-friendly episodes to their existing feed? We dig into discovery, audience habits, and the challenge of serving two groups without creating double the work. We share creative ways to test ideas, and we also talk about the importance of listening to your audience and treating their feedback as a gift that can guide your next move. Since it’s Friday, we wrap up with community wins, celebrating achievements both big and small.
