Matt Breen | Behind The Scenes With The Creator Of The Explorers Podcast

✍︎: https://curiousworldview.beehiiv.com/subscribe🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/explorers-podcast/#157 - Matt Breen is host of the Explorers Podcast, which  focuses on the great explorers and adventurers of history.I think I’m right in asserting that this is unlike you will have heard Matt before. He hasn’t done a dedicated long form podcast elsewhere, and so this exploration into the history of the show and how his worldview has been shaped by the explorers he studies is all new material. And so we go behind the scenes of The Explorers Podcast, the early days, how it started, the podcast growth, the business of content, to even the possibility of one of matt’s stories going to Hollywood. We then lean into some of the Explorers Matt loves and take a couple tangents in that direction to then finally rounding out with the traditional question on serendipity.00:00 – Introduction01:37 –  The Elon Musk Tweet07:37 – Matt’s Journey Into Podcasting15:57 – Process Of Creating An Explorers Episode & Storytelling30:07 – How Long Before You Started Gaining Momentum?34:35 – The Business & Economics Behind The Show43:07 – Hollywood Taking On Explorers Podcast49:43 – Matt Loves Australia1:02:57 – Which Explorers Does Matt Love Most?1:08:58 – Blind Traveller James Holman & Histories Great Forgotten Explorers1:22:38 – What Would Be The Most Fascinating Time Period To Be An Explorer In?1:29:22 – Is There Any More Room For Exploration?1:37:14 – Conversation Between Any Two People Of History Dead Or Alive1:49:22 – The Role Of Serendipity In Matt Breen’s LifeCurious Things Mentioned During The EpisodeBryan Bashin – James Holman The Blind TravellerCharlie Walker – One Of The Great Modern AdventurersScott Rank – The Great Explorers Of History🍻☕: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ryanhoggInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ryanfhogg/
