Beyond The Mic: Establishing a Relationship with your Listeners Off-App

Being a podcaster is about more than sharing your thoughts through audio. Since the pandemic began, there's been an influx of creators leaning into the power of audio; however, many podcast pros have been looking beyond the mic to foster community. By using their podcast as a catalyst for developing community on other platforms, creators have been able to deeply connect with their audiences, strengthen their influence, and (in some cases) monetize their brand. 

Building a podcast audience is about building a community and meeting potential listeners where they’re at. From Facebook groups, to unique Patreon content, to virtual events, Clubhouse rooms, Instagram Lives and Reddit groups, creators are finding new and interesting ways to turn listeners into loyalists.
