About this episode
This podcast episode is coming to you from PodFest 2026 in Orlando where Kristina and fellow podcaster, friend and founder of The Power Table, Taylor Smith are breaking down what they learned from three jam-packed days at the event.
Whether you're a podcast veteran or just starting, this episode is packed with insights and ideas about how you can grow your podcast in 2026.
They dive into:
- Why AI is changing podcast SEO and how to use it to your advantage.
- How to become a trusted and credible source online, and why that matters for visibility.
- The power of “cluster episodes” and how to make your content work harder for your brand.
- Why your podcast doesn’t need to be huge to land brand deals (and how to bundle your offers to attract partners).
- The truth about downloads: what counts, what doesn’t, and what to focus on instead.
- How to build community around your podcast.
- Why podcasters with long-term vision are the ones making real moves
