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

Daruma is a landmark film, being the first in American cinematic history to cast both lead actors with disabilities. The film also stars Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) and tells a story everyone can relate to—one of friendship, fatherhood, and found family.
