Is Your B2B Podcast Doing Its Job?

Most B2B podcasts don’t actually have a job.

They exist because someone, somewhere, decided the company “should have a podcast”. Not because anyone decided what it was meant to do.

I’m Neal Veglio, and in this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I’m asking the grown-up question almost nobody asks before they hit record...

In this episode, I break down:

1. Why so many B2B podcasts quietly become jobless
2. How interviews often mask a lack of strategy
3. What changes inside a business when a podcast becomes operational
4. A simple test to tell whether your podcast is earning its keep — or wasting attention

If you’re responsible for a B2B podcast and can’t clearly explain what should change after someone listens, this episode will help you spot the problem — and decide what to do next.
