We’re diving into the age-old question that plagues all budding podcasters: when should I drop my episodes? I mean, it’s not like we’re all sitting around waiting for the next serial to drop, right?
So, here’s the scoop: you could play the spreadsheet game, tracking when your competition releases their episodes. Picture it: you’ve got a spreadsheet with a bunch of podcast names and dates. You notice that Wednesdays are as empty as my fridge on a Sunday night, so why not slide in and claim that day?
But let’s be real here—does it even really matter? Most of us listen to shows whenever we feel like it, not at the crack of dawn on release day. It’s not like we’re tuning in live like it’s a radio show or something.
So, consistency is key, folks. Pick a day that works for you and stick with it. If it’s Thursday, then it’s Thursday. If you want to release on Wednesday but your life screams Thursday, record a few episodes in advance. The world won’t end if you miss a ‘prime’ day. So, in the end, just do what works for you, and let your audience find you.
