I think that what you said made a bunch of sense. However, what about this?
what if you wrote a catchier title? I am not suggesting your content isn’t good, however suppose you added something that makes people want more?
I mean Reviewing Andrew McCarthy's 'Brats' | Episode 709
| Stuck in the '80s podcast is a little boring.
You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post
headlines to grab people interested. You might try adding a video
or a pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
