If your podcast feels like it’s doing a lot of work without giving much back, this episode is for you.

In this in-depth conversation, I’m joined by Abbey Oslin from Duo Collective for a true podcast swap—one that dives deep into how podcasting, SEO, and AI actually work together to grow your audience, authority, and business. We talk about what’s working right now, what’s changing fast, and how podcasters can stop treating their show like “just content” and start treating it like a long-term growth asset.

This episode is especially powerful if you’re an established podcaster who loves creating content but wants clearer visibility, stronger discoverability, and more alignment between your podcast and your business goals.

Why podcasting is one of the most powerful SEO plays available to business owners
