An area I don’t think gets a lot of love in the podcast space is the podcast trailer. According to industry publication Podnews, only 14% of the podcasts they looked at had trailers marked in their feed. And that’s a huge missed opportunity for podcasters - because trailers are perfect for a multitude of reasons:
they can be used as a great introduction to your showthey can be highlighted on podcast apps that support trailer filters (like Apple Podcasts and Spotify)they can be great for trailer swaps with other podcastersthey can easily be updated as your podcast changes over time
Think about it - how many movies or TV shows have you watched because a great trailer piqued your interest? The same goes for great podcast trailers - but they need to be effective to grab a potential listener’s attention.
Which is where Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast comes in.
