How Pinterest Helps Podcasts Get Discovered Long After Publishing
Pinterest is often overlooked by podcasters, but it can be one of the most effective ways to drive long-term discovery.
In this episode of Behind the Workflow, Simona Costantini and Taly Melo talk with Andi Smiley, founder of The Friendly Podcast Guide, about how podcasters and agencies can use Pinterest and SEO to help episodes get discovered long after they are published.
Andi shares why Pinterest users are action-oriented, how she schedules content weeks in advance, and how podcast episodes can become evergreen traffic assets. The conversation covers practical workflows, batching, seasonal podcasting, delegation, and building systems that support real life without burnout.
If you want your podcast content to keep working without constant posting, this episode is for you.
