You're in the right place. Together, we'll help you attain 'podmastery'. I'm Neal Veglio, a veteran podcaster who first started dabbling with RSS in the early 2000s. Podcasting is such a complex medium, with so many factors that can impact your success. It's my goal to cover all these topics with you, and help you maximise the results you're getting from your efforts. And while my shows now enjoy thousands of listeners every single week, it wasn't always easy. When I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency. I learned a lot from that experience. I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals. Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my podcasting agency clients to do with all our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful! And ensuring you can avoid the dreaded 'podfade'! Take one step closer to Podmastery. Click follow in your favourite podcast app, and let's grow together.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T08:19:47.022020+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/podmastery-podcasting-insights-and-advice-for-indie-creators-5237265"},"episode":{"title":"The Hidden Failure Around Podcasting Failure","slug":"the-hidden-failure-around-podcasting-failure","published_at":"2026-07-22T17:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/podmastery-podcasting-insights-and-advice-for-indie-creators-5237265/the-hidden-failure-around-podcasting-failure","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/podmastery-podcasting-insights-and-advice-for-indie-creators-5237265","url":"https://hollyc176.sg-host.com/episodes/the-hidden-failure-around-podcasting-failure","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/1988cbb6-8f3d-41e1-81ff-eaf8401b5730.mp3","summary":"Here's the super uncomfortable truth this episode's built on: the day you publish makes not the slightest difference to a single download you receive. I will stake this whole show on it. And yet I still missed my Monday slot, published on a Wednesday, and felt like a failure anyway. That first feeling — the flicker of disappointment — is fine. It's just data. It's the second feeling that does the damage. In this one I'm being properly honest about the trap nobody warns you about when they tell you to \"build your personal brand\": you make the thing personal on purpose, and then every wobble in it feels personal too. So what do we do about it?... The Podmastery founding-members waitlist is open. Doors to the community open to the public soon — get in first at podmastery.co/waitlist . Got a podcasting thing you're quietly beating yourself up about? That's exactly the kind of problem I love to solve. Head to podmastery.co, click \"Need Help\", and book a 60-minute call.
