Stephen is a massive advocate for hobby podcasters and focuses on the joy of the experience in everything he does in his podosphere.

In this conversation, we chat about:

the podcasting scene in Canada
his background in audio and video
the origin stories of both the Gonna Geek network AND the co-hosted Better Podcasting podcast.

For those of you following the Geopats Books podcast, Better Podcasting will sound familiar because Stephen’s Co-Host, SP was our most recent guest on that podcast where we talked about the book that started the Expanse TV series, Leviathan Wakes.

The link for that books episode and everything we mention in this podcasting conversation will be in your podcast app notes and at https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting/23

Lastly, I’d love to hear from you! Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn & you can even leave a voice message on Speakpipe.

Podcasting: Creative Walls and the Authentic Self With Dakota M. Shyft

About 6 months into podcasting many Podcasters hit a wall.

What am I doing?

Why am I doing this?

And other large, podcastery questions start haunting them.

The inevitable episode of doubt happens and then there is either podfade or a shift in content.

This is exactly the type of episode that I heard Dakota do on his Language Learning Lounge podcast. Because Dakota and I already knew each other, I decided that instead of just listening I would reach out and try to help. Or at least, ask a lot of questions to find out why this keeps happening to lovely Podcasters like him. This is the conversation that we had.
