Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Max Miller, Host of Tasting History, Storyteller, Cat Dad
Q: What's the biggest misconception about making these videos?
Many assume it's quick; in reality each video takes 35-50 hours to produce, and that time investment is essential for quality storytelling.
Max Miller, Host of Tasting History, Storyteller, Cat Dad
Q: How did the Garum video impact your channel?
Garum was a turning point that massively accelerated growth, showing that history-driven content could attract a huge audience quickly.
Max Miller, Host of Tasting History, Storyteller, Cat Dad
Q: What sparked you to start a YouTube channel about history and cooking?
I started because I loved telling stories and wanted to bring history to life through food, using a format that could educate and entertain at the same time.
Tony Jackson, Voice Actor, Athlete, Generally Cool Human
Q: If you could go back in time and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Go find more voiceover jobs. Don't stop at Alaska; don't stop at that heavy metal station in Alaska—you had the skill and somebody paid you to do it, so keep going.
Jen Greenfield, Actor, Writer, Tryer Of All Things
Q: What advice would you give to listeners about pursuing multiple passions without burning out?
Jen stresses trying, building community, setting boundaries, and recognizing that rest is essential to sustain long-term creativity and impact.
