What's the best social media platform for podcast promotion?

TikTok and Instagram Reels are excellent for clip promotion—short, engaging moments from episodes. YouTube hosts full episodes and builds discoverability. X/Twitter is great for podcast communities and guest tagging. LinkedIn works well for business and professional podcasts.

How should podcasters schedule social content around episodes?

Build a release sequence—teaser 2 days before, release day announcement, clip 1 the next day, quote graphic day after, clip 2 a few days later. This extends each episode's promotional lifecycle across a full week.

What podcast content gets the most engagement?

Short video clips (30-60 seconds) of compelling moments drive the highest engagement. Controversial takes, funny moments, and emotional insights work best. Quote graphics from guests perform well on LinkedIn and X.

Should podcasters be on YouTube?

Yes, YouTube is the second-largest search engine and increasingly a podcast discovery platform. Post full video episodes if you record video, or create audiogram-style content. YouTube Shorts can feature your best clips.
