What can I do with bad reviews on my Apple Podcasts?
my podcast launches next week. I put it out on social to get people to subscribe. Someone left a 1 star review. Anything I can do?

Hi ChristinaD44,
Re: What can I do with bad reviews on my Apple Podcasts?
That review must have come as a shock after all your efforts!
It's up to you whether or not you use the bad review to spur you on to produce lots more podcasts that people will give good reviews on, which will minimise that one star.
Seems there is not much that can be done once a podcast is launched on Apple, except you can ask for offensive ones to be removed.
There is an "Apple Podcasts for Creators" article (link below):
"Ratings and reviews"
https://podcasters.apple.com/support/852-ratings-and-reviews
Eg: says:
"Reporting a review
If you see a review that contains offensive material, spam, or other content that violates Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, contact us "
The article gives some good tips for encouraging good reviews to be contributed.
All the best :-)
