Strategic Buzzsprout Features to Boost Discovery and Engagement with Jordan Blair

Many creators feel like they are shouting into a vacuum, putting out great episodes that aren't being discovered by new audiences or search engines. This visibility gap is a major pain point for purpose-driven podcasters who want their message to reach the right people. In this episode, we sit down with Jordan Blair from Buzzsprout to explore the high-impact features that help your show stand out. We discuss things like how to use dynamic content for evergreen updates, why fan mail is the future of listener engagement, and how providing high-quality podcast transcripts ensures your show is understood by the next generation of AI and LLMs. This week, episode 283 of Podcasting Unlocked is about strategic Buzzsprout features to boost discovery and engagement!
