Feedback on your podcast (or any work) can be difficult. I get that – it's easy to get attached to what you do.   So what happens when you get feedback on your podcast? For many podcasters, the first thing they do is to dig their heels in and defend what we've been doing. I get that, too. It's different on the inside, and as a podcaster, there are things about your podcast that only you know, and you likely have good reasons for doing what you're doing. Still, feelback, even "negative" feedback, can be very helpful to making your podcast better. In this episode, I share feedback I received from a listener of this podcast and what I'm doing because of it.   Want to make sure you don't miss future episodes in this series? Subscribe to the podcast here.
