Why 2025 Was A Great Year For Podcast Listeners

Send us a text In this quick episode, we take a step back to appreciate how much podcast listening apps have improved and why that’s such a win for listeners and independent podcasters. Updates from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Overcast, and Fountain, had three big themes: Discoverability: making it easier to find new shows you’ll actually want to listen toInteractivity: likes, comments, and recommendations that help great episodes spreadQuality of life: smarter playback controls, enhanced dialogue, chapters, and fewer accidental tapsIt feels like podcast apps are finally competing on listening experience and we think that’s a really good sign for the future of podcasting! Don't forget to send in your tips as we start planning an episode on how to start a podcast in 2026. If there’s something you wish you’d known when you started, send it our way!

We Listened To Your Podcasts And Gave Actionable Feedback

Send us a text In this episode, we turn Buzzcast into a mini help desk: listeners wrote in with their biggest podcasting pain points and bravely submitted their shows for honest, constructive feedback. We dig into things like tightening edits without making conversations feel “too clipped,” keeping loudness consistent across episodes, making dynamic content transitions feel natural, and using your show title and cover art to instantly communicate who your podcast is for. We also talk strategy: How creators with big audiences (especially on YouTube/IG) can guide casual viewers into becoming true podcast subscribers and getting guests to actually share their episode. Podcasts we give feedback to: 7:20 Wander Worldschool 16:50 Two Guys on a Plane 27:58 Midlife with Courage 31:56 Confessions of a Recovering Micromanaging Perfectionist Martyr 37:57 How to Start Up 48:33 This Is How You Think Links mentioned in this episode: Answer the PublicBuzzsprout Name GeneratorPodcasting Q&A: How to Get Guests to Promote Your Podcast with Kate CaseyQuestion for next episode: What do you wish you knew when you started your podcast or what tool exists today that you wish you had back then?
