The crucial (and often get overlooked) part of planning your podcast is the competitor analysis bit
It’s essential for several reasons:
- Avoid the echo chamber: Learn what's already said, find your unique niche, and avoid replicating what's done (or make it better!)
- Fuel your inspiration: See what’s working, which podcasts are popular in your niche and therefore your audience
- Fill the gaps: Spot missing pieces in the market and fill them with your unique expertise and perspective
Trust us, understanding the podcast landscape before you launch saves time, effort, and sets your show up for success.

Mass appeal isn’t the goal for your podcast.
For us lot in the social impact sector it’s about connecting with the right people.
Those who either a) care about what you do and will take action b) those who will really take some value from what you have to say.
It’s so tempting to cast that net wide.
But as the old saying goes, ‘if you speak to everyone you speak to no-one’.
So which ears will truly love your content? Make your podcast for them.
By reaching the right ears, you can drive real impact.

Do donors play a big role in your social impact organisation?
A podcast just for your donors can be a powerful tool for building stewardship and deepening their connection to the impact of their generosity.
Each episode could feature a personal story, highlighting how their contributions have changed lives.
It's a way to create a more tangible connection between their donations and the positive outcomes they've made possible, making them feel special and more closer to the impact of their giving.
And who knows? Maybe they’ll be more likely to give again in the future?
