Jerod and Jonny started The Showrunner podcast on April 1, 2015, and during the past two years they’ve built a community, shared their podcasting journeys, and now they have recorded 100 episodes.

As a thank you for your dedication and support, this episode is all about you and your questions.

Here’s what’s covered in this episode:

  • Jerod’s Aunt Margie asks us a basic (and eye-opening) question
  • They answer (or do they?) how their first 100 episodes compare to Trump’s first 100 days
  • Can the everyman create a highly edited podcast, and should he or she?
  • How to properly perform a Skype interview, and what equipment is necessary
  • How do I relaunch a podcast with a bang after taking a year long break?
  • Do you have any recommendations for what would be a dollar amount we could realistically ask from a potential sponsor?

Jerod and Jonny have loved the ride to 100 episodes, and they look forward to the next 100.

Thank you.

Listen, learn, enjoy …
