#212: Dan Misener – How to ACTUALLY grow your podcast (and measure its success)
Dan Misener is the co-founder of the podcast growth agency, Bumper. Prior to co-founding Bumper, Dan served as Director of Audience Development at Pacific Content, where he worked with brands like Slack, Adobe, Charles Schwab, Ford, Dell Technologies, Morgan Stanley, Red Hat, and Atlassian. Before that, he spent a decade working in public radio at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where he was involved in their earliest podcasting efforts. He also hosts and produces the independent live event and podcast series Grown Ups Read Things They Wrote As Kids. The series has won several industry awards and has been downloaded over 10,000,000 times. Dan is a big-time data nerd, and with podcast analytics being so challenging to understand, this was exactly the type of conversation I was hoping to have. Dan and his team at Bumper have built an internal tool called the Bumper Dashboard that doesn't emphasize downloads, but verified listeners and consumption time.
