Hey everyone
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about podcast growth lately - especially from the perspective of independent creators who don't always have access to big platforms or network-level tools.
Will older tools like Chartable now gone, I'm curious how others are navigating this space in 2025.
Here are a few things I d love to hear your thoughts on:

• How are you tracking your podcast s growth and audience reach today?

• Are there features or tools you wish podcast platforms offered?

• What kind of insights or analytics do you think actually help with growth?

• What s one thing that frustrates you about the current landscape?

I ve been personally diving into this space and would love to compare notes, learn from your experiences, and understand how others are approaching it.
Let s make this a shared resource for anyone building or growing a podcast in 2025

So, I ve been toying with the idea of going "Build in Public" for my startup, but I m torn. On one hand, it seems like an awesome way to grow an audience, get early feedback, and build trust. On the other, I ve seen plenty of people burn out or struggle to balance actually building vs. constantly sharing updates.

I guess my main questions are:
What s the best way to approach it without it feeling like a second job?
Where do you actually build in public: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, PH, or somewhere else?
Any success (or horror) stories from those who ve done it?
