Many podcasters have this question: what day should you release your podcast episode. There isn't a straight answer on this, but a few solid recommendations that we go over in our experience and the overall industry. We also chat about some podcast event changes and what's going on with Blubrry (PowerPress). Thanks to Diana from DWS Ministries for joining Todd this time around. Thanks for joining us on this episode of Podcast Insider. Looking to be a guest on the show? Let us know. Recorded live from two well-separated and socially distanced podcast studios in northern and southern Michigan; here’s Podcast Insider. Live Facebook recording. News: Overcast tracking... at odds with Chartable and Podsights. Read about it here and here. SquadCast: Audio and Video is now out of beta. Podfest has delayed their June in-person event. Podcast Movement 2021, in-person Nashville Aug. 3-6, 2021. We'll be there! Dallas August 2022, Podcast Movement. And PM Evolutions 2022 with be in Los Angeles March 2022. Best Practice: Is there a best day of the week to release your episodes? Short answer: No. Longer answer: Not really, unless your show is news related and the news you cover happens at a particular time each week. For example, an NFL or NASCAR podcast might be best released on Monday’s after the game/race or on the Friday before. There are days that, across the podcasting space, that more podcasts are downloaded than other days. But that doesn’t mean those are the best days to release a show. It just means that more people get their podcasts on that day than other days. Just like most things, do what works for you. It won’t matter too much if you release on Thursdays or Mondays, just that you release episodes. Try to be consistent in whatever schedule you choose and people will build you into their schedule of listening. Blubrry News: Use your Podcasting Skills on Clubhouse, from our blog.
