What advice do you have for new podcasters?
"Don't just select a topic you're excited about in the moment. Make sure it's something you can picture yourself talking about several years from now and plan for the long term. Have a few episodes in the bank (we are terrible at this and it bites us in the butt.) Don't be afraid to try things out or scrap them if they aren't working. If the show starts feeling like a chore, stop recording and dream up a different idea that excites you. Podcasting should be fun, not a hassle."
