Hi, and welcome to this special episode of Podcaster Stories.
Speaker:
00:00:06
Truth be told, this should have been the first episode
Speaker:
00:00:08
of Season 4. Unfortunately, I'm a little behind schedule in
Speaker:
00:00:12
that for a few reasons, some personal when I've had
Speaker:
00:00:16
some stuff to deal with at home, mainly like busy,
Speaker:
00:00:20
extra, extra curricular stuff (I c an't even say it
Speaker:
00:00:24
properly) for the kids, as well as being pretty busy
Speaker:
00:00:27
at work. As we get ready for a bunch of
Speaker:
00:00:30
new products, et cetera, but also as the podcast has
Speaker:
00:00:33
grown - and thank you so much for helping it
Speaker:
00:00:35
grow to where it is at the moment - I've
Speaker:
00:00:38
had more interest in people wanting to be guests, as
Speaker:
00:00:42
opposed to myself normally going out and finding guests and,
Speaker:
00:00:43
and inviting them on to be on the show, et
Speaker:
00:00:45
cetera, and that's been great.
Speaker:
00:00:46
That's been, it shows that the, the, the show's growing
Speaker:
00:00:50
and there's more awareness or on the Podcaster Stories podcast,
Speaker:
00:00:51
which is awesome. So thank you. But unfortunately, a few
Speaker:
00:00:54
of the guests were only interested in promoting a book
Speaker:
00:00:58
or on an online course or something, which came out
Speaker:
00:01:02
as I started digging more around them in what they
Speaker:
00:01:04
were bringing in to the, the chat and Podcaster Stories
Speaker:
00:01:07
has always been about, sharing the more personal stories of
Speaker:
00:01:11
the podcasters that we listen to. Getting to know their
Speaker:
00:01:14
personal lives, the adversities have overcome, and how that can
Speaker:
00:01:17
help you go through and overcome some of this stuff
Speaker:
00:01:19
that you may have gone through yourself that they have
Speaker:
00:01:21
already gone through. So it's a very specific, focused show,
Speaker:
00:01:26
and some of the guests, or to some of the
Speaker:
00:01:28
pitches that have received really weren't fitting into that, and
Speaker:
00:01:31
that threw back the recording schedule quite a bit, actually,
Speaker:
00:01:34
which is why I'm about probably about a month behind
Speaker:
00:01:36
now.
Speaker:
00:01:36
So I do apologize for that. The show should be
Speaker:
00:01:39
coming back to podcast apps everywhere next week. So that'll
Speaker:
00:01:42
be the third week in August, if you are listening
Speaker:
00:01:44
to this after the date, et cetera, I'm and if
Speaker:
00:01:47
you all listening to this is after the day, it
Speaker:
00:01:48
doesn't make sense because you're already know that there is
Speaker:
00:01:50
a new episodes out. So ignore that a little section.
Speaker:
00:01:52
So yes, it should be coming back next week, and
Speaker:
00:01:55
I'm excited to bring the guests that I've got recorded
Speaker:
00:01:57
so far. And the ones that have got lined up
Speaker:
00:01:59
to record and share with you, they've got some amazing
Speaker:
00:02:01
stories and really inspiring and just really genuine, nice people.
Speaker:
00:02:05
So I'm really excited to share that with you. Another
Speaker:
00:02:08
quick update is Podcaster Stories has joined Quite the Thing
Speaker:
00:02:13
media network, and this is a Scottish podcast network.
Speaker:
00:02:17
That the guys behind it, down to the podcasters on
Speaker:
00:02:20
the network, are very much geared towards the podcast in
Speaker:
00:02:22
the way I am, which is a very much about,
Speaker:
00:02:24
it's about you, the listener first and foremost, and bringing
Speaker:
00:02:27
the, the, the kind of conversations that you want to
Speaker:
00:02:31

Speaker:
00:02:32
as well as being very community focused and involving our
Speaker:
00:02:34
listeners and involving the listeners of the networks and involving
Speaker:
