Your podcast may start with downloads.
But long-term growth comes from community.
The podcasts that build lasting impact don’t just attract listeners — they create spaces where people participate, connect, share ideas, and become advocates for the show.
Build a Podcast Community People Want to Be Part Of
Join RSS.com’s Head of Relationships, Greg Wasserman, and Becky Davidson — community builder, creator-educator, and Founder of Affinity Collective — for a free Live workshop focused on building engaged podcast communities that strengthen listener relationships and fuel organic growth.
In this session, you’ll learn how to transform casual listeners into active community members who interact with your content, show up for live experiences, create user-generated content, and help expand your reach through referrals and word of mouth.
What you’ll learn:
- Why podcast community matters more than ever
- What separates an audience from a true community
- How to identify and better understand your listener personas
- How to choose the right platform for your podcast community
- The pros and cons of Facebook Groups, Discord, Circle, Mighty Networks, LinkedIn Groups, and more
- How to create engagement rituals and recurring touchpoints that build belonging
- How to use live recordings, AMAs, and events to deepen connection
- Ways to encourage listener participation and user-generated content
- How to create a safe, welcoming environment that encourages interaction
- Why strong communities drive referrals, retention, sharing, and higher lifetime value
You’ll also discover:
- Why people share stories and experiences more than “tips” alone
- How to facilitate connections between your listeners, not just with you
- Why your community should feel different from your podcast itself
- How to build momentum even when engagement feels slow early on
- What it really takes to play the long game in community building
By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a practical framework for creating a podcast community strategy that strengthens your brand, deepens listener loyalty, and creates meaningful participation around your show.
