453. Dissecting a Podcast That Actually Works

Can a podcast be strong and still have room to grow? We’re breaking down a recent episode of indie podcast, Movies in a Nutshell , and exploring what happens when a show gets most things right. Believe us, this episode leaves plenty to study. We unpack what worked, including their approach to segment structure and intentional ways to speak to both new and returning listeners.
