On this episode we have Martin Willis, the host of Podcast UFO, a weekly livestream radio show and podcast. Martin brings years of experience producing audio content in a category that is incredibly vast and has a ravenous audience. UFO’s, paranormal activities, government cover ups and generation defining conspiracy theories are all topics that do extremely well in the podcast format, and so we want to talk to creators to find out what makes these genres so entertaining and engaging.

Martin talks to us about how to approach the topic of UFO’s, interesting sightings through the years, interviewing guests as a host, and the early days of his podcast and live streaming experience.
