Today we are opening an informal investigation into how to start a podcast. I hope by the end of this podcast you will feel empowered to start your own.
I’m excited to announce we have finished our first quarter of the informal investigation podcast. I hope all you listeners out there have been enjoying our content. If you have I kindly ask that you subscribe and rate our podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/informal-investigation/id1535406737 (Itunes). Let’s review what we have been doing.
We started off with https://www.informalinvestigation.com/episode/investigation-into-pumpkin-ale (episode 1 - Investigation into Pumpkin Beer) - Where we discovered pumpkin beer dates back to 1771 and we made an actual recipe from the 18th century.
In https://www.informalinvestigation.com/episode/investigation-into-gold (episode 2 we investigated Gold) to help us understand the rising gold prices and an exploration into the process of buying gold without getting ripped off
For our https://www.informalinvestigation.com/episode/investigation-into-flannel (third episode we investigated flannel) and how this warm soft material became so popular and fashionable. We found our favorite flannel company - https://www.vermontflannel.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiArIH_BRB2EiwALfbH1LOG7d2oDw1-oSVEs43MhFOpjIemVutH6jNx_D1z-mgKDp8CAhtD6hoCGFkQAvD_BwE (The Vermont Flannel Company) and shortly after our episode release they almost completely sold out!
For our https://www.informalinvestigation.com/episode/investigation-into-pale-ale- (fourth episode we were getting thirsty again and investigated pale ale). Of course we had to brew our own and made an amazing blonde ale.
Then there was our most recent and popular episode where we took a super deep dive into https://www.informalinvestigation.com/episode/investigation-into-dry-cereal (dry cereal). We talked about the kellogg family, CW Post, and ofcourse we made our own cereal - https://www.instagram.com/informal_investigation/ (Coffee Bean Puffs).

I can give you a slightly different perspective then what you may be https://www.buzzsprout.com/how-to-make-a-podcast?gclid=CjwKCAiAoOz-BRBdEiwAyuvA64nGWBRcSds8c2NG8GKnK34KhPbRTtWxwH19xNW00Io2Hma7PI4-jxoCKykQAvD_BwE (reading online). Since starting this journey 3 months ago I have already been approached by multiple people asking for advice on starting their own podcasts. I hope by the end of this episode if you wanted to start your own podcast you will feel ready, inspired and empowered to do so.
Why do you want to start a Podcast?
There are really 2 reasons people start podcasts. Either to make money or they have something they are passionate about that they want to share with the world! Obviously you can be doing it for both reasons.
The reason I started this podcast is a little different. For those of you who are listening to this episode years in the future - we are recording this episode during the covid 19 pandemic. This has been a stressful time for everyone. To get my mind off of things I have been taking on small projects - or investigations as I now call them. The...
