An area I don’t think gets a lot of love in the podcast space is the podcast trailer. According to industry publication Podnews, only 14% of the podcasts they looked at had trailers marked in their feed. And that’s a huge missed opportunity for podcasters - because trailers are perfect for a multitude of reasons:

• they can be used as a great introduction to your show
• they can be highlighted on podcast apps that support trailer filters (like Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
• they can be great for trailer swaps with other podcasters
• they can easily be updated as your podcast changes over time

Think about it - how many movies or TV shows have you watched because a great trailer piqued your interest? The same goes for great podcast trailers - but they need to be effective to grab a potential listener’s attention.

Which is where Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast comes in.
