🎙️ Episode 40: Is This The End?
from Awesomely Off-Topic: Books, Brands, Business and Everything Else We’re Not Supposed to Say Out Loud · host Taz Thornton and Asha Clearwater
When we started Awesomely Off-Topic, we had no studio, no production team, and absolutely no idea what we were doing.What we did have was a couple of microphones, a stubborn belief that podcasting shouldn’t cost a fortune, and the willingness to figure it out as we went along.Forty episodes later, we’ve recorded in offices, cars, woodlands, and anywhere else we could make it work. We’ve upgraded our kit, made plenty of rookie mistakes, and discovered that sometimes the best moments are the ones you never planned.In this Season One finale we look back at what we’ve learned along the way – from the technical mishaps to the unexpected listener messages that made us realise the show was reaching far further than we ever imagined.We talk about the laughter, the lessons, and the strange places people have told us they listen to the podcast… including supermarket aisles and train platforms.We also share what’s coming next: new guests, improved audio, a growing podcast community, and the upcoming book Podcasting on a Shoestring.So… is this the end?Not even close.It’s simply the end of Season One – and the beginning of the next chapter.Something you’d love us to know?
