    A Podcast Built on Ruins

    Building a show that people are willing to pay for means putting in the effort up front to plan, write, and design something listeners can't easily get for free elsewhere. This level of effort isn't for the lazy, but is well rewarded by loyal fans. Writer Shruti Ravindran reveals how Paul MM Cooper built Fall of Civilizations learning along the way, and never shying away from hard work and craft.

    “When I Started Podcasting I was Stealing Everything I Could”

    This is the story of how Jack Rhysider built Darknet Diaries from the ground up. The reason to listen is that Jack Rhysider is an open book about his journey finding an audience as a solo indie podcaster. The venn diagram of his audience probably doesn't have a huge amount of overlap with the shows that get breathless reviews in Vulture, so his story is really instructive for people that are outside the newly monied realm of podcasting. Written by Pam Moore. Originally published at https://timber.fm/stories/when-i-started-podcasting-i-was-stealing-everything-i-could/.

    In the Adventure Zone

    This is the origin story of the hit D&D actual-play podcast The Adventure Zone. It was written in summer 2020 by Shruti Ravindran, and much has happened with the McElroys and their juggernaut pod since then. But, if you haven't ever listened, this is a great intro, and if you already love it, you'll love reading Travis's thoughts on how the show went from a funny idea to a hit.
