Some podcasting habits have been around for years, but are they still helping your show today? In this episode, the morning show cast and crew debate which podcasting best practices still work, putting common habits like podcast intros, guest bios, ratings and reviews, and calls to action on trial. Instead of assuming the old rules still apply, the conversation looks at what actually connects with listeners and what may be worth rethinking. By the end, you may find yourself questioning a few of your own podcast routines and deciding what's worth keeping, changing, or leaving behind.
