Engaging with your audience is crucial to fostering an interactive community. To gather feedback directly within Spotify, leverage the platform’s interactive features like Polls and Q&A. Encourage participation by mentioning these tools in your episodes and prompting listeners to engage. Use Polls for quick, quantitative insights and Q&A for more detailed, qualitative feedback. Close the loop by sharing responses in other content formats to show appreciation and demonstrate active listening. This approach can cultivate a more engaged and responsive podcast community.
