Blog Post: A Peek Into What Piques Your Audience’s Interest by Tara O’Brien Blubrry Pro Tip Alumni Match-making Question of the Week Question: Is it ok to have a scattered release schedule when I am first starting my podcast, until I get my footing? Say for about two months. Answer: Yes, it can be “OK” but is it the best way? Not really. The consistency is what allows people to build you into their regular schedule. Over time, it gets more important as more and more people discover your show and your schedule. Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show?
