  • “My podcast story”

    Wisdom was a great host! I love how we engaged in a "conversation" where we could talk about his perspective on podcasting as well. Sometimes I like these style shows where it isn't just an "interviewer" and "guest", but rather a conversation between two human beings! Love his podcast story and how he gets audio made.

  • Wisdom was a great host and made the conversation feel easy from the start. He asked thoughtful questions that pulled out the real story behind why I created Driven For Health, not just surface level podcast talk. I appreciated how well he guided the conversation and gave me room to speak honestly about the purpose behind the show. It was a strong interview, and I’d gladly recommend My Podcast Story to other podcasters.

  • Fun, informative conversation

    I had the great joy to chat with Wisdom about my own podcast. I enjoyed our talk—Wisdom asks great questions. One of the best parts of Wisdom’s show is that it is a two-way conversation, podcasters trading ideas as much as one person sharing their own story. This is a great place to start if you are thinking of podcasting.
