A Podcast That Is For The People

My name is Big Brother Jake and I am the host of The Big Brother Jake Podcast. 

My listeners are men and women from all over that live everyday lives just like myself!

I started this podcast because I felt like people like myself weren’t represented. The average single parent getting by in life. I have issues that many people face daily but have no voice that represents them. I listen to some podcasts but not many. I don’t want to sound like other podcasters so I tend to hold off on listening to others. I started this podcast in October of 2018. I released my first episode within a week of creating the concept of it.

I release a new episode roughly every week. I have three jobs and I’m a single parent so I sacrifice sleep or socializing to put out this podcast. It’s okay, it’s a labor of love. My podcast is fully funded by me and I put 20-30 hours of marketing, producing and editing the show.

I take sponsorships. Mainly small businesses. It’s not easy finding sponsors but we try daily. We get 500-1000 downloads monthly. The podcast benefits me because I know there are others out there that are going through similar things as a single parent. I try to be the voice of the people.

I use Adobe Audition to edit my podcasts. I rely on old friends in the business as guests as well as call agencies. I use bullet points to prepare each show but out of ten bullet points per show. I may use three. I use my phone or Zoom to conduct interviews.

I use social media to market the show.

My best advice to any aspiring podcaster is continue to create content even if you feel no one hears you. You’d be surprised who listens.
