If you’re out here winging it without tracking your performance, it's like trying to cook a five-star meal with a blindfold on - spaghetti might end up on the wall, but your audience won't be sticking around.

In this episode I'm talking you through the skinny of podcast metrics that matter, how to make sense of them without losing our marbles, and the tools that'll help us keep our finger on the pulse of our audience.

Plus, we’ll sprinkle in some real-life examples from podcasters who’ve used analytics to amplify their reach and engagement.
