You pour time and energy into creating a podcast — booking guests, recording, editing — but if you only publish it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, you’re missing a huge opportunity. LinkedIn is where your audience (especially B2B) already scrolls, reads, and connects.
Sharing podcast content on LinkedIn can help you:
-
Reach non-listeners who prefer to read or skim.
-
Position yourself and your guests as thought leaders.
-
Keep the conversation going after the episode drops.
-
Drive new listeners back to your show.
-
Build stronger relationships with guests (who are likely to share your post too).
How to Turn a Podcast Into a LinkedIn Post
Here’s a simple, repeatable process:
1️⃣ Pick a Strong Angle
A LinkedIn post isn’t a transcript or episode summary. It’s a hook that makes people stop scrolling.
Pull out:
-
A surprising insight.
-
A bold opinion.
-
A powerful quote.
-
A lesson or “aha moment.”
One episode can give you multiple posts if you pick different angles.
2️⃣ Write Like a Mini Story
LinkedIn loves conversational, story-driven content. Instead of dumping a list of topics, share one key takeaway in a narrative way.
Example:
❌ “In this episode we talk about leadership, team culture and productivity.”
✅ “When I asked Sarah what makes a team truly motivated, her answer surprised me: ‘Stop focusing on productivity. Focus on safety first.’ Here’s what she meant…”
3️⃣ Add Your Take
Don’t just quote the guest — add your perspective too. What did you learn? Do you agree or disagree? Why does this matter right now?
4️⃣ Make It Easy to Listen
Always include:
-
A link to the full episode.
-
A short CTA: “Catch the full story here.”
-
Tag the guest (if they’re on LinkedIn).
Bonus: Use a short audiogram or video snippet — native video does well on LinkedIn.
5️⃣ Use Formatting That Pops
Break up long text. Use short paragraphs. Add emojis if that suits your style. Start with a bold first line that grabs attention.
3 Example LinkedIn Posts from a Single Podcast Episode
Let’s say your podcast episode is with an entrepreneur, James, who talks about growing a remote team.
✅ Example Post 1: Pull a Surprising Quote
Opening Line:
“‘The biggest mistake I made in year one? I hired for skills, not trust.’”
Body:
James told me this when I asked him about his early struggles building a remote team.
He thought top talent would fix everything — but learned the hard way that you can’t grow without people you trust deeply.
His advice: “Hire people you’d trust to work unsupervised for a month — because one day they will.”
It’s one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation.

✅ Example Post 2: Highlight an Insight
Opening Line:
Do you really need more meetings — or just better communication?
Body:
In my latest podcast with James, he explained how his team cut 40% of their meetings by switching to async updates and clearer guidelines.
Here’s the thing: most teams think they have a “meeting problem.” They really have a clarity problem.
It made me rethink how we run our own standups.
If you’re curious how James’ remote team stays aligned across 7 time zones — give this one a listen.

✅ Example Post 3: A Personal Reflection
Opening Line:
Some conversations stick with you for days — this was one of them.
Body:
When James talked about how loneliness almost killed his startup, I felt that.
We don’t talk enough about how isolating building something big can be — even when surrounded by people.
He shared how he learned to create real connections inside a remote team — and outside of work too.
If you’re building anything right now, I hope you listen to this one.

Pro Tips to Get the Most Out of Each Post
✅ Tag your guest — it expands reach and encourages them to share or comment.
✅ Ask a question — invite people to share their thoughts in the comments.
✅ Use a clean link — if possible, link to your podcast’s landing page instead of just Spotify.
✅ Post consistently — don’t share your episode just once. You can post 2–3 angles from the same episode over weeks.
✅ Mix formats — text posts, images (e.g., a quote card), short video snippets — LinkedIn loves variety.
Advanced: 5 More Ways to Repurpose a Single Episode
If you want to stretch your content even further:
1️⃣ Turn a big takeaway into a carousel post.
For example: “5 lessons I learned from talking to James about remote work.”
2️⃣ Use an audiogram.
Grab a 30-second soundbite — add captions — upload as native video.
3️⃣ Quote your guest in a standalone image post.
E.g., a simple branded graphic: “Hire for trust, not skills.”
4️⃣ Go live on LinkedIn.
Host a short follow-up Q&A to discuss the episode theme with your audience.
5️⃣ Write an article on LinkedIn.
Expand on a topic your guest covered — link back to the full show.
Final Thoughts
A podcast episode is just the beginning. The real magic happens when you break it into snackable stories people can engage with where they already hang out — like LinkedIn.
Next time you drop an episode, don’t just share one link and hope people listen. Squeeze every insight out of it. Turn the conversation into multiple posts that make your audience think, comment, and want more.
Do that, and your podcast won’t just live on audio platforms — it’ll live in people’s feeds, minds, and networks too.
