The Rio Grande Podcast: Season One Recap - Part 2
The Rio Grande Podcast
12/06/23 • 48 min
And so, just like that... Season one of @TheRioGrandePodcast is officially wrapped up! We want to thank all of our listeners for the amazing support and all the feedback and positive comments over the last several months. This level of engagement was almost unprecedented/unexpected for the show’s first set of episodes, so we really felt that it was best to take a short break to step back and work on stepping up the product. This first season was a great way to test the waters and measure demand, and now we are ready to take the show to the next level.
In Part 2 of the Season One Recap, we dive deeper into a BTS look at how some of our episodes went and the things that happened off-mic (Ally got “herded” by dogs at Alpaquita Ranch, and we talk about what happened with Madelynn’s @Cookies4College episode). Most importantly, we continue reflecting on the the things we’ve all learned from our conversations with guests and find time to thank our listeners who have joined this adventure and stuck with us through the growing pains of a first podcast season.
Whether you were an honored guest or a loyal listener, you’ll love Part 2 of the @TheRioGrandePodcast’s season One recap. Don’t forget to rate the show, follow and subscribe, and keep your eyes out for Season Two of the Rio Grande Podcast!
