In this episode, we break down the real behind-the-scenes of launching and growing our show—from the moments we wing it to the times we overthink everything.We talk about what we’ve learned so far and what the recording process really looks like. We also share the fun parts—like discovering how sound design, music, and even our logo bring the show to life. Spoiler: we’re kind of funny??But it hasn’t all been smooth. We also get honest about the challenges, like figuring out our “why” and learning to be open while still reaching the right audience.
