The announcement was made in very typical and direct social media fashion by the contestant and producer. Four words-and then a heart emoji-were all that was needed to set her ardent supporters well on their way. The podcast went on to earn itself a dedicated following, so this comeback means a lot both to the host and to the listeners.
The comments section was flooded with excitement and relief coming from all the listeners. Another commented with pure joy: “Yay on my birthday!!!! Iv been missing the pod so much!!!!” This feeling of joy coursed through almost all the responses, signifying how much meaning Kent’s audience had placed on the regular shows disappearing.
Another follower recognized the truthfulness of Kent’s raw discussions and unrefined standpoints on various issues and offered passionate praise: “You are transcendent, you have been speaking the truth lately. And standing on business and I love it.” This would seem to be an excellent example of how Kent has managed to build a rapport with her audience.
Finally, practical questions would begin to pop up as one eager listener intoned, “YESSS!! Will the video version be coming back as well?” Such suggests that Kent’s podcast is multi-platform.
Other sentiments were keeping with actual concern for the possibility that the podcast might be over for good: “Yay! Was so upset thinking it was over,” spoke one hopeful while another added sweetly, “I needed something to listen to in the car and was missing your podcast.” Those comments name real-life chores and entertainment options that the podcast provided for its audience.
One of the more insightful remarks came from a fan who’d been keeping up with Kent’s career moves: “I’ve been missing you!!! Was getting worried you were leaving forever, but then read that you are just rebranding. Excited to hear what you’re doing next.” This definitely means Kent might be releasing some new elements or an all-new format alongside the rejoining of the show.
A few celebratory comments turned more personal. One follower went on at length about having the same birthday as Kent and walking through similar life experiences of divorce and motherhood. Such personal engagement shows a real connection between Kent and her listeners because of Kent’s own openness about her life experiences, including her daughter Ocean.
The reaction to Kent’s announcement revealed her power in the podcasting arena and the communal aura she’s created around her production. The listeners enjoy that perspective of hers, so she goes with basically everything from pop culture to personal growth.
The swell of anticipation for Kent’s plan for her returning show will keep flowing in as the 17th draws nearer. Judging by the excitement alone of her die-hard fans, the comeback ought to be one for the records. The fact that Kent had held such an engaged crowd all the way through her hiatus bespeaks volumes for her rapport with the following and the good content they’ve come to expect from her platform.
