Luxury Podcasts in China See Low Engagement

Luxury brands are investing in Chinese-language podcasts to reach Chinese listeners, but most shows are struggling to attract large audiences or make a cultural impact. Many of these podcasts have repetitive, impersonal content that does not connect with listeners on an emotional level.

Podcast Tip Of The Day

Use sound effects to enhance storytelling (documentaries/audio dramas), mark transitions in interviews, or highlight intros/ads—but avoid overuse. Never add effects to serious moments or just for flair; context is key.

Pro tip: Test placements first—good sound design immerses, but poor timing distracts.

Remember: Subtlety often works best—a well-placed effect should support your content, not overpower it. Always prioritize clarity and emotional tone over flashy production.
