How Transcriptions Can Level Up Your Podcast

March 23, 2026 · 7 min

Show notes

In today's episode, we answer three listener questions:

  1. How can I transcribe my podcast episodes?
  2. Why do podcast transcripts matter?
  3. How do I publish transcripts so they show up where my audience is?

We'll give you clear, practical guidance on all things transcripts!

Mentioned in the episode: How to Rank Higher on Apple Podcasts (Data‑Backed Guide)
