Send us a text


In this exciting episode, I had the incredible honor of sitting
down with the legendary Adam Curry, a.k.a. the 'Podfather'. From
his early days in pirate radio to then becoming an MTV VJ, and
revolutionizing the way we consume media, Adam's journey has been
nothing short of fascinating.

The interview begins with a glimpse into Adam's appearance on the
Joe Rogan Experience, where he shares some behind-the-scenes
stories and insights. Then, we delve into his roots, discovering
how he first learned the art of broadcasting audio and how it
eventually led him to start a pirate radio station!

Adam takes us back to the moment he landed his first job in radio
and the invaluable lessons he learned from operating a radio
show. One thing that becomes clear throughout the interview is
how essential feedback is, and how live recordings played a
pivotal role in shaping his approach to content creation.

We explore the power of conversation in podcasting and how it
creates an intimate connection with the audience, as well as how
to find a good co-host. Then Adam shares some valuable advice on
how to gauge your podcast's success and find fulfillment in your
creative endeavors.

Adam also explains the value-4-value approach to podcast funding,
which challenges traditional advertising models and fosters a
deeper connection between creators and their audience. He also
talks about how initiatives like Podcasting 2.0 and the Podcast
index empower content creators and revolutionize the podcasting
space.
