Tweetable Quotes:

“When people say the word, ‘podcast,’ they traditionally think of the audio form. Podcast is more than an audio channel. It’s more than just putting up an audio file, an mp3 file. We view it a bit differently where it’s more of a communication platform where you get video content, audio and written content all from that same genuine conversation.” (14:23) (Tristan)

“The podcast community is unique in that everyone is so collaborative. I came up in the video production industry and I would say that there’s a lot of similarities there because it takes a village to put a video together. If you’re not able to work with a lot of people, it’s very difficult to get to the finish line.” (21:18) (Tristan)

“The beauty of podcasting is that you’re just never done. There’s always opportunities to test new things. There are always ways to ask different questions and different ways to assemble your podcast.” (24:36) (Tristan)

“For me, as a podcast consumer, I jump around all over the place. I’ll binge a show that I haven’t listened to in a while. I’ll listen to eight or ten episodes if I’m going on a long road trip or what have you. But I’m also always looking for new stuff too, a new host or a new topic.” (47:51) (Tristan)
