► Tell us about you and your podcast
Three long time friends discuss off the wall topics while drinking beer and making fun of everything. Our listeners are just as weird and fun ad we are.
► Why & how did you start this podcast?
We podcast because its fun and it gives us an excuse to get drunk and argue about weird stuff. The goal is to get away from our wives one night a week and have a good time. Started in july of 2021. It took us less than a week to start and publish an episode.
► How'd you find the time and funding to do this podcast?
Making a podcast is very cheap and easy. We started it with less than 500 dollars of equipment and little research. You just do it when you have time. We release every week at least one regular episode. Starting to release 2 a week now as it gains traction.
► What do you gain from podcasting?
We are still growing it now, and haven't monetized yet. That's coming very soon. We get around 1,000 downloads a month and its steadily growing. I will likely seek out sponsors, or advertisers myself.
► How does your podcasting process look like?
We record 1 to 3 episodes, one night a week and then edit them as we have time. It helps to be a few weeks ahead on recording to give more time on editing and posting. We use a physical 2 channel stereo recorder with the mics ran through a mixer. And rhodes podcasting microphones. Edit with a free version of audacity. It suits us fine. Our sound is just as good as any other podcast I've ever heard.
► How do you market your show?
Facebook. Word of mouth. Other podcasts. And we ran one ad campaign on audiogo. Spotify 40 percent. Apple and itunes 40 percent. The rest is a mixed bag of Facebook, google podcasts, pandora etc. We are one over 50 platforms and websites. Word of mouth has seemed to be the best for growth.
► What advice would you share with aspiring (new) podcasters?
It takes alot of time and persistence to grow a podcast. I think the best way to learn is to do it. Most people fail because they never do it or give up, not because they don't know enough about it.
