Geronimo Ritcheson from the Facebook group asks, I know that there is an official Instagram account for EED, and I am following it. However, I want to ask if you have plans on posting on it more frequently, if not expanding your activities on the platform (utilizing polls, featuring episodes on IG Stories, etc.).

The short answer to that question is no.

The Instagram account was created when I was traveling extensively and doing travel photography. It was pretty popular at its peak. I had 182,000 followers on it at one point.

However, with the shift to the podcast, I’ve pretty much ceased posting on Social Media outside of the Facebook group.

The truth is, it really doesn’t do anything for me anymore. Getting likes on social media is meaningless. More importantly, people on Instagram and TikTok don’t convert to podcast listeners. I have tried and tried it just doesn’t do anything.I’m not the only podcaster who has come to this conclusion.

The reason why I have no desire to post on Instagram on a regular basis is because it would take away time I could be spending on getting the next episode out the door, which I’m sure you will all agree is a much higher priority.
