Navigating Listener Preferences, Yellowstone Revelations, and Bosnian Delicacies

THE COFFEE AND RAKIJA PODCAST

Hi, it’s David here, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and Rakija, the podcast where I share my life as an Englishman living in the beautiful and sometimes surprising Balkans.

I'll be sharing stories from the perspective of an over 70's guy, living in rural Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me.

I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today.

Today, we're taking you on a delightful journey through our podcast's journey, discussing some compelling survey results, and sharing our latest escapades.

To better shape our content, we recently ran a survey, which saw some impressive participation.

Interesting to note, the leading podcast theme that our audience enjoy revolves around our daily life, followed by interviews and tales of intriguing travel locations. Notably, the majority of our listeners are non-native English speakers, which is fantastic, it's a nod to our diverse listener base. Furthermore, an astounding number of our audience have been with us for at least six months, with some even stretching to two years or more!

We also found a trend favouring shorter podcasts of 15 to 30 minutes. This aligns with our current goal; however, depending on the content, extending the duration could be beneficial. For example, our long-form interviews have produced some key insights that our listeners seem to enjoy. As for the podcast format, both audio and video formats have their fans, but video format takes the lead by a narrow margin.

In terms of content, Bosnian history and intriguing travel sites topped the list alongside the desire for more recipes and cultural insights. Cultural differences, detailed descriptions of day-to-day life and maybe even some language lessons were also mentioned.

These insights are invaluable to us, and we'll certainly incorporate the feedback into our upcoming podcasts. We'll be keeping the survey open, so if you've missed it, take a few moments to fill it in and share your thoughts. Your input helps us create content that you genuinely enjoy!
