  • My favorite podcast on podcasting!

    I try to tune into the live version of the show each Saturday morning (7:30am my time) can be a bit tricky at times. So I always listen to the podcast later. I remember the old radio shows with live callers and questions - this feels exactly like that but about podcasting.

    Fantastic work, love it!

  • A fun community to spend Saturday morning with

    I’ve been a big fan of this Saturday morning live show for the last few years. Dave and Jim always bring their A game, delivering helpful advice on podcasting. You can even dial into the show via video to join the conversation that way if the mood strikes you. Several episodes have helped with specific challenges I have had as a beginner podcaster. The chat room is always teeming with conversation, and I have made friends with several people in there.
