Episode 359 | Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast | Courtney Elmer

Hot topics get clicks. But what about the episodes you actually want to record, even if they’re not trendy or SEO-friendly? More importantly, how do you make listeners see every episode as a must-listen, so they hit play no matter the topic?

I'm showing you how to strike the right balance between trending topics and thought leadership content that sets your show apart so listeners can instantly understand why every episode matters. You’ll also get the exact 3-part content formula you can steal to make more of your episodes feel like must-listens. If you want more listeners hitting play on every episode, hot topic or not, hit play and let’s dive in.
