How do you promote your podcast in between seasons? For many podcasters, that question can feel overwhelming — so they end up doing nothing. But going dark between seasons doesn’t mean your show has to lose momentum. In fact, it's a missed opportunity if you're not keeping your audience engaged and attracting new listeners during the downtime.In this episode, I’ll walk you through specific strategies to market your podcast even when you're not actively releasing new content. We'll cover social media, email newsletters, and less-talked-about tactics that balance high and low effort, so you can stay visible without burning out.Before promoting in between seasons, ask yourself ‘why’Let’s start with the “why.” Promoting your podcast between seasons is key if you want to maintain listener engagement, attract new audiences, and keep your show top of mind. People forget content fast, and even your best episodes get buried in the feed. Resurfacing those episodes gives them new life — especially for new followers who haven’t heard them yet.One misconception I hear often is, “If I stop publishing, I’ll lose my audience forever.” That’s partly true — people fill their routines with other content, and if you’re absent, they’ll move on. But here’s the fix: give them a place to stay connected. Use your email list or social media to let them know when you’ll be back. Communicate. Create reminders. Set expectations.Chapters:00:00:00 – Why your show still needs visibility even when you're not publishing new episodes00:01:30 – How audience habits and memory impact re-engagement — and why reminders matter00:02:30 – Before you market: define whether you're building visibility, growing your email list, or prepping for a launch00:03:30 – What really happens when you stop publishing — and how to avoid losing your audience00:05:00 – How to repurpose past episodes with new context, visuals, and formats00:07:00 –Forgot to mention something in an episode?
