You want to grow your podcast audience and get your listeners to engage with you, right?

One of my favorite ways is to include a listener Q&A segment in your show. You could also make it a listener comment segment or a segment where you read reviews.

Sounds simple, but this tactic can be powerful. I'll explain:

1. Ask people to tag or @ you on social when they ask questions (friends and followers will be able to find you and learn more)
2. People like to hear their names spoken online - so once you mention someone, they will be much more likely to share that episode
3. Their friends likely have similar interests and will want to check out the show
4. Other listers will want to have their question said aloud (and get an answer of course)
5. Repeat
