Many podcasts don't make it past episode five, according to new data from the Podcast Index. In this episode, Mark, Danny, Dave Jackson, and Ashley Hamer discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding podcasting.TakeawaysMany podcasts don't make it past episode five, possibly due to the rise of free podcast hosting platforms like Anchor, now Spotify for Podcasters.The lack of immediate feedback and community engagement in podcasting can be disheartening for new podcasters.The influx of celebrity podcasts and the perception of difficulty in getting noticed may discourage indie podcasters.To overcome these challenges, podcasters should focus on their internal motivation, have a long list of episode topics, and plan for breaks or hiatuses.Setting realistic expectations is crucial in podcasting, as it takes time and effort to grow an audience and make money.Podcasting is not a quick way to make six figures, and it's important to focus on creating valuable content and building a loyal audience.Our co-hosts this week:Ashley Hamer Ashley Hamer is Managing Editor at Descript, an AI-powered audio and video editor. She's also the author of the Weekly Tweak, a newsletter that helps podcasters improve their show week by week, and the creator/host of Taboo Science, a podcast that examines taboos through a scientific lens. Formerly, she was the co-creator and co-host of Curiosity Daily, a daily science podcast from Discovery. She lives in Asheville, North Carolina with her husband and toddler daughter where she plays jazz saxophone at venues around the city. @smashleyhamer on Twitter - Ashley on YouTube - Ashley's Website Dave Jackson Dave Jackson began podcasting in 2005 and launched the School of Podcasting (schoolofpodcasting.com).

The long wait is nearly over — Season 3 drops on 4/20.Taboo Science is a podcast that answers the questions you're not allowed to ask. It's hosted by Ashley Hamer, a science writer and podcaster. Every episode dives into a different societal taboo to understand the science that makes it tick, the reasons we don't talk about it, and the impact that has on society at large. Why don't we eat people? Why is it impolite to talk about money? And if drugs are so bad, how did addiction evolve? It's science class if science class had one of those anonymous question boxes. It's Taboo Science.Can't wait for season 3?

We’re hard at work on new episodes of 3 Clips, so here’s an oldie but a goodie — one of our most popular episodes… We've got a dynamic co-hosting duo: welcome Ashley Hamer and Cody Gough of Curiosity Daily. A daily, yes, daily (!), podcast about science, which is part of Discovery.
