This \u201cepisode 1\u201d is actually episode 14, recorded only once we found our proverbial North Star and were able to articulate--for ourselves and listeners--what this show was going to be about. \n\nSo what\u2019s it about?\n\nIn the end, we found that our podcast wasn\u2019t about making a podcast at all; this podcast became about meeting people outside of our typical \u2018circle\u2019, asking them thoughtful questions and listening intently to the answers, and finding out that everyone has a gripping story if you\u2019re willing to hear it.\n\nWe hope you enjoy listening to our journey of learning all of this through talking to some incredibly interesting normal people. \n\nHighlights\n[2:09] How it took us *a year* to record Episode 1\n[4:02] Why Jake wanted to do this in the first place\n[6:07] How it started as one thing and ended up as another\n[7:46] The Secret Name of the Show \n[9:53] Why Holdeman joined Jake\u2019s Show (and why he loves watching Fin eat tacos while recording)\n[12:06] Why Fin joined Jake\u2019s Show (beyond eating tacos)\n[13:49] Why Jake joined Jake\u2019s Show and what he\u2019s been learning along the journey\n[19:23] Why \u201cThe Interesting Lives of Normal People\u201d?\n[28:45] How we (Holdeman) made the logo\n[33:16] What to expect from Season 1","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/d231f837-9a30-4d84-ba62-c3c47551c482/FbdglVGmjEi4axnwG0-iy_Cn.jpg"}
