What keeps you podcasting in the margins of your days? For Dave Campbell, the answer to this question is, "having nine regular shows, including one that puts out daily episodes." As a podcaster, you probably have other responsibilities—a full-time job, kids, the continuous task list of being an adult. But when building connection or, as Dave says, "collecting people" is your calling, your podcast is an uplifting and resonant platform for exploring your interests, learning from brilliant and engaging guests, and fine-tuning skills that will serve you on and off the mic. Dave has published more than 2000 episodes across his shows, and he's become something of an expert at squeezing podcasting into the margins. He self-identifies as "curious and improperly supervised," and the results are inspiring: he's building a community of interesting and interested people everywhere he goes. In their conversation, Dave and Mary talk about the experiences and impacts that come with passionate podcasting. Whether you're brand new to hosting or decades in, this consummate storyteller and enthusiastic host will remind you why you launched your show in the first place. Reignite or reaffirm your enthusiasm for podcasting: The many ways to build community when the industry feels lonely; Why getting feedback is paramount to your show's success; Why you should hit record even when your motivating flags; What experimentation can teach you about your audience.
