To those who create not for fame or fortune, but for the joy of connecting with others, of sparking a conversation and of giving voice to the voiceless.</p> <p>Here’s to those who dare to break through the noise, who dare to delve deep in a world that sleepwalks through the shallow, the superficial.</p> <p>The ones who carve their own path and inspire others to follow in their footsteps, to create something that matters, something with purpose.</p> <p>Here’s to the indie podcasters who hone their craft, always thinking long-term, adapting, collaborating, and staying dedicated to the growth and sustainability of their podcast. The ones driven by a passion for sharing their authentic voice, embracing creative freedom, and fostering meaningful connections with their listeners.</p> <p>Here’s to the independent podcasters who shatter the barriers of expectation and redefine what it means to be a creator. To the ones who empower us to challenge our thinking, to listen deeply, and to be part of a revolution in storytelling.</p> <p>For it’s in the depths of our individuality that we find the strength to unite, the power to change, and the potential to knock a dent in the universe.</p> <p>So to all of you out there, who dare to pick up the mic and set your voice free, we salute you.</p> <p>And to those who have yet to begin, we welcome you to our tribe of independent thinkers, to find your voice, and to stamp your mark on the world.</p> <p>Because when we embrace our differences, when we celebrate our authenticity, when we dare to create something new – that’s when we can truly change the world, one story at a time.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-here-s-to-the-independent-podcasters-long-may-your-voices-ring">Here’s to the independent podcasters.

class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overnight-success-is-a-myth-in-podcasting-and-indies-know-it">Overnight success is a myth in podcasting, and indies know it.</h3> <p>When you see a successful podcaster become “famous”, apparently out of nowhere, you don’t see the years they’ve spent building the foundations of that success.</p> <p>“You need to stick at this, consistently, for the long haul” is never welcome advice. It’s natural to want the quick fix, the one simple tip, the silver bullet solution. But podcasting offers big rewards for those who can take this advice on board and get to work.</p> <p>The indie starts with nothing but an idea. They’re prepared to grow an audience from scratch, turning up consistently for the long haul, whilst having fun and enjoying the process. The indie will give much more in those first few years than they’ll ever get back. Patience and consistency can’t be driven by willpower alone, though. Big audacious goals can help guide the way when things are tough, whilst workflows, tools, and support networks can smooth out those inevitable bumps even more. For the indie, it’s not about being frantically busy for years. It’s about working sustainably at your own pace, obsessing over quality, and asking the question, “What’s next?” when it comes to serving your audience.</p> <p>There’s a magical moment of critical mass in podcasting where previous episodes become a back-catalogue. This body of work becomes an audience growth machine, pulling in new listeners daily. At this point, a podcast is like an unstoppable train with infinite seats. And the podcaster can look upon it and say, “I built this.”</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div

And they see themselves as budding thought-leaders in their space, with unique gifts and perspectives to bring to the wider conversation.</p> <p>Whilst some indies openly wish for podcasting to become their full-time source of income, others are happy to treat it as a hobby or creative outlet. They enjoy talking about their passion and would be doing it whether they got paid or not.</p> <p>That said, these shows can become magnetic to listeners and advertisers alike. It’s natural that many podcasters find that their show becomes a side gig as well as a hobby.

Outsourcing is a popular option amongst those in a position to do so. For others, it’s about prioritisation. Focusing on the tasks they enjoy, as well as those that move the needle, lets them decide whether to pay someone else to do the rest or set them aside completely.</p> <p>Indies are streetwise when told they “should” add certain elements to their workflow. One example of this is video. Whilst some decide that video fits well into their content strategy, budget, and workflow, others are happy to concentrate their full resources on audio content. Indies can also make a little go a long way and don’t need to spend eye-watering sums on their tools. They know that gear and software are about finding the most suitable setup, not necessarily the most expensive.</p> <p>When a podcaster does fewer things but does them better, it positively impacts their ability to consistently publish quality over a long period of time. The ability to focus on the things that matter is an indie superpower, and one of the big tenants of podcasting success.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide

After all, they don’t need to rely on anyone else but themselves, and podcasting solo means shining the light fully on their own experience or expertise. It also guarantees full ownership and control of the content.</p> <p>But there comes a time when many indies will branch out from their solo roots. Maybe they’d reached the natural limit of their knowledge on a topic and wanted to bring in different perspectives. Perhaps they began to crave the chemistry and interaction in talking with others. Or, they might’ve levelled up on gear and software, and gained the confidence to start recording multiple voices.</p> <p>Regardless of the reasons, indie podcasters are open to experimentation and change. This culture is healthy for the medium, allowing creators to stay fresh, enthusiastic, and consistent. It also gives listeners a more diverse and varied experience than if everyone continued to do what they have always done.</p> <p>Podcasting is about creativity, not rigidity, and indie podcasters are free to tweak formats and develop innovative ways to serve their audience.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-podcast-format-amp-experience">Podcast Format & Experience</h2> <p>As indiepodders gain experience they become more willing to experiment with new and different formats.

The vast majority are desperate for more, but podcasting as a medium hasn’t quite cracked the feedback nut yet. There’s no clear place for all listeners to leave comments and replies for their favourite podcasters. This leaves it up to creators themselves to figure out their own individual points of contact. And, whilst many do a great job on this front, it can be an uphill battle at times.</p> <p>Fortunately, there are organisations and movements working to address this. The Podcast Index, Podcast Standards Project, and those who support open podcasting seek to make features like cross-app comments a mainstream reality for podcasters, and this has the potential to address one of the biggest pain points in podcasting.</p> <p>Experience and consistency can help harness more engagement, too. After all, the bigger a podcaster’s back catalogue, the more Calls to Actions are answered with each new listener binging their way through swathes of old episodes. Ultimately, indie podcasters crave feedback, suggestions, and contributions. And, as much as they love to get behind the mic and talk, they want that conversation to be with their listeners, not at them.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-listener-feedback">Listener Feedback</h2> <p>Listener engagement acts as one of the most standout metrics recorded from the IndiePod Census.

For starters, most indies are entirely self-taught. Indie podcasts also tend to start out as solo ventures, so there’s no ambiguity over control, ownership, or authority. And indie podcasters love their home studios, too.</p> <p>On the content side, indies see their biggest USP as their unique personal angle. It’s that perspective they bring with them behind the mic that their listeners simply can’t find anywhere else. This makes a podcaster magnetic to their target audience, and when you combine it with long-term consistency, you have the perfect recipe for unstoppable growth.</p> <p>Though most indies start out on a path of creativity and enjoyment, their ventures evolve into side gigs over time. Far from the old “sell out” route, though, this is done without giving up ownership or control. It isn’t so much about selling your podcast to a big network; it’s about sourcing and forging the partnerships that work best for you, monetising on your own terms, and paying your own way, using the platforms you know, like, and trust.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">

But, looking across the board at our thousands of survey participants, both in our Census and Podcast Planner, it’s often more a case of diversity over dominance.</p> <p>Indies are podcasting in all genres, from music and history to business and education, and that remains true from Gen X to Boomers and everyone in between. Indie podcasters of all ages and genders offer a broad spectrum of content with unique angles and solutions.</p> <p>Two essential factors in podcasting are motivation and the definition of success. There are also the struggles, obstacles, and challenges that stand between podcasters and their goals. Again, we see a wide range of perspectives here, which makes podcasting all the stronger for it.</p> <p>Then, there are the nuts and bolts of podcast creation: how they look and how they sound. There’s a healthy assortment of formulas here. Of video and audio, we see no clear dominance. Formats, episode lengths, and release schedules are also a mixed bag.</p> <p>In all, this serves to create the melting pot of indie podcasting, which brings a tremendous diversity of content to our earbuds and should be celebrated.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h2

Fortunately, this isn’t the case. Indies draw from a strong sense of purpose and an energetic enthusiasm to blast through any barriers, overcoming the odds to create content and community for those who need it most.</p> <p>Indies build from the ground up, ever strengthened by the snags and hurdles they’ve overcome. Challenges never go away, no matter how many episodes someone has under their belt. But, in time, indies come to relish them instead of avoiding them. Often, the path of most resistance is ultimately the most rewarding.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-did-you-learn">Where did you learn?</h2> <p>Podcasting is an accessible medium across and embraces this through equitable values.

And whether they’re fully aware of it or not, they leave their listeners with a little something in each of their episodes. For some podcasters, that’s to teach, coach, or motivate. For others, it’s entertaining or pushing their audience’s emotional buttons.</p> <p>Each word a podcaster speaks in our ear colours another tiny pixel on our own lens of reality. That’s not to say listeners blindly accept everything podcasters say, but there’s a constant osmosis between our backgrounds, experiences, opinions, and the content we consume. Our minds are in flux, constantly updating, calibrating, and re-adjusting.</p> <p>In a way, a podcast episode is a collaboration between the creator and the listener. A podcaster might create the audio, but the episode “happens” in the listener’s mind. And because we use the tools of our own imaginations, it’s fair to say that no two listeners will ever experience a podcast in the same way.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide

Few people would go as far as to knock it back. But there’s a reason the world’s not full of wealthy podcasters who started out with the ultimate goal of getting rich. These people tend to quit after a handful of episodes, if they even start at all.</p> <p>For many indies, podcasting success is being able to help, support, and motivate their listeners. To others, it’s all about that creative outlet and the act of having fun. We also see frequent examples of podcasters who want to bring about change, raise awareness, or build a reputation as thought leaders. In some cases, it’s a combination of all of the above.</p> <p>When podcasters have a passion or purpose, combined with the workflow and tools to consistently publish new episodes, outcomes like money and authority are natural byproducts.</p> <p>Of course, this doesn’t mean that many indies aren’t setting out to build or grow a business. But monetisation requires an engaged audience, and in an intimate medium like podcasting, the goals of fame and fortune aren’t going to bring one kicking down your door.</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile ipm-sec-divider"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-the-purpose-of-your-podcast-0">What is the purpose of your podcast?</h2> <p>Indie podcasters are driven by creativity and the opportunity to share a message and be heard.
