In this episode of Story Trust Media, Jon Goehring breaks down the common but critical mistakes podcasters make with their intros... those first few seconds that can make or break listener trust.

Are you cramming your intro full of calls to action? Repeating the intro after it’s already played? Forgetting that loyal listeners hear the same intro every episode? These missteps aren’t just annoying... they’re driving listeners away before your content even starts.

Jon clears the confusion about what an intro should be... it’s a simple, quick handshake with your audience, setting the tone without over-explaining or overselling. Forget about dropping your full elevator pitch, website links, or multiple CTAs in that space.

Tune in to learn how stripping your intro back to essentials maintains professionalism, respects your audience’s time, and paves the way for building a loyal podcast following.
