Speaker:I've spoken before about the importance
Speaker:of having a trailer for your podcast.
Speaker:There are a few reasons,
Speaker:But the main one is it's one of the most effective ways of promoting your show to new listeners.
Speaker:However, it's only effective if it's relevant to where your show is now.
Speaker:Most podcasts go through some kind of evolution, whether that's a new format,
Speaker:frequency of publishing, or even new co-hosts since the show was first published.
Speaker:This is why it's key to keep your podcast trailer up to date,
Speaker:so potential listeners know exactly what to expect from your show.
Speaker:This can include a new trailer for each season if your podcast uses that format.
Speaker:The main thing is, a trailer needs to have the most up-to-date information about your show.
Speaker:It's no good saying you can get new episodes every Friday if you change your publishing schedule to Tuesdays.
Speaker:So take a look at the last time you updated your trailer and if the details are still relevant.
Speaker:If not, record a new one and replace the current one.
Speaker:Your new listeners will thank you.
Speaker:Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:Thanks for listening.
