Anyone interested in golf would love our podcast!!
► Why & how did you start this podcast?
Close to 20 years ago Brent started a podcast when podcasting was in its early stages called "Haunted New Jersey". This podcast was highly successful and a great way to promote your product website and services. He thought back on this experience and started the Get Back To Golf Podcast as a way to promote Get Back To Golf on other platforms. Hopefully this podcast is something that we can towards the future with. Brent had all the equipment already from his previous endeavor, "though it is easier these days to create a podcast using all these great platforms like ListenNotes, but it is nothing like having a good microphone and co-host like Colin".

► How'd you find the time and funding to do this podcast?
The Get Back To Golf Podcast is released weekly. A typical episode takes around a few days of planning when the best time is to record, but what you hear is what we record. There is minimal editing involved in an effort to try and keep the podcast as authentic as possible. At the moment, what we make in affiliate sales goes towards building our brand.
► What do you gain from podcasting?
At the moment we are only affiliate sponsors. We do not want donations, we want to give you something in return. Over on TikTok we have a fantastic golf community, when a creator is offering an item for sale, some other creators will be invited on as affiliates and others will buy full price as a sign of community. Our first two episodes started with Brent alone, but the work became too much. Colin jumped on around 5 months later, the Get Back To Golf Podcast has now been producing episodes weekly. The Get Back To Golf Podcast is growing quickly with a month-over-month growth of around 20 downloads each month. Colin is the nephew of Brent, but they do not get to see each other often, this podcast has strengthened the bond between Brent and Colin tenfold.
► How does your podcasting process look like?
The Get Back To Golf Podcast is recorded via Podcastle and then distributed via BuzzSprout to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Podcasts, ListenNotes, etc. Guests are found on TikTok and people we know personally, they are all very eager to join us. Guests are interviewed online via PodCastle. Please contact us if you are interested in coming onto our podcast. Each episode date is planned out around our busy schedules. Each episode is then non-scripted, just go with the flow kinda podcast. We want to keep it as authentic and real-feeling as possible.
► How do you market your show?
Most of our listeners come from Spotify, 60%, 11% from Google Podcasts, 5% from ListenNotes, the rest come from elsewhere. We have many other channels where we produce golf-related content. We find that clips on TikTok and full videos with visuals on YouTube help grow our podcast the most.
