I get a lot of questions from people confused about whether they should launch their podcast with one or multiple episodes. As with any advice I give on this podcast, the best option is the one that makes the most sense for your audience and your content.\n\nIf that's dropping multiple episodes, great! Go for it.\n\nBut if you're doing it because you\u2019ve read that's the right way to launch a show, I'm going to tell you why I don't think it's the best option.\n\nCheck out the full episode show notes: https://rachelcorbett.com.au/podcast-launch-episodes/\n\nAbout me\u2026\n\nMy name is Rachel Corbett and I've worked professionally for almost two decades in radio and podcasting. I've hosted and produced shows for some of the biggest radio networks in Australia, created three of my own independent podcasts and I was Head of Podcasts for Mamamia, the largest women's podcast network in the world.\n\nAt Mamamia, I grew the podcast network from 15 to over 35 shows, the team from two to nine producers and the audience to over 1 million unique listeners a month and over 90 million downloads which is more than quadruple where it was when I started.\n\nI've also hosted over ten podcasts with more than 2 million downloads including Lady Startup, Eligible, Before The Bump and You\u2019ve Gotta Start Somewhere.
