What if your podcast wasn’t just being discovered on Apple and Spotify…

but recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice search?

Because that’s exactly what’s happening right now.

In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down one of the biggest shifts in podcast discovery — and one most podcasters aren’t talking about yet:

AI is becoming a major search engine for podcasts.

People are no longer just browsing charts.

They’re asking questions like:

“What are the best podcasts for female entrepreneurs?”
“What podcast should I listen to to grow my business?”

And AI is giving them answers.

Which means your podcast now has the opportunity to be discovered far beyond podcast apps — if your content is clear, searchable, and easy for AI to understand.

In this episode, I walk you through 10 practical strategies to help your podcast get indexed, categorized, and recommended by AI tools — without overcomplicating your workflow.

Because the goal isn’t to do more.

It’s to be more intentional with what you’re already creating.
