What Really Goes Into Producing the We’re Not Stumped Podcast

What does it really take to produce a podcast?

In this special solo episode of We’re Not Stumped, I’m taking you behind the scenes to share how the podcast started, what happens before and after every interview, and the lessons I’ve learned from producing more than 200 episodes.

I’ll talk about:

  • Why I decided to start the podcast
  • How I find and prepare guests
  • My recording setup and workflow
  • Editing
  • What I’d do differently if I were starting today
  • Advice for anyone thinking about launching their own podcast

Whether you’re interested in podcasting, storytelling, or simply curious about what goes into creating We’re Not Stumped, I hope this episode gives you a new perspective—and maybe the confidence to start your own show.
