50th episode special: reviewing one year of the podcast, lessons learnt, and plans for the future

This is the 50th episode of this podcast and we're doing something a little different: Cody Kommers, PhD student, fellow podcaster, and one of the first guests of my podcast, interviewed me about the first year of my podcast: what did I learn, what went differently than expected, and what do I plan on changing in the future? We also discuss podcasting more generally and use Cody's experience in running his podcasts as a counterexample in our discussion.Time stamps0:00:05: Cody's introduction0:01:37: Why did I start the podcast?0:04:32: Expectation vs reality of running a podcast0:12:05: Other podcasts I enjoy and that influenced me0:26:50: What am I trying to do when I'm interviewing someone?0:36:03: Who's the target audience for this podcast?0:43:22: The podcast's format0:47:19: How could I save time doing the podcast?1:02:52: Distribution and marketing of podcasts1:15:35: Focussing the scope of my topics1:31:25: The future of this podcastPodcast linksWebsite: https://bjks.buzzsprout.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BjksPodcastCody's linksWebsite: https://www.codykommers.com/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=ImTtx_kAAAAJTwitter: https://twitter.com/codykommersNewsletter: https://codykommers.substack.com/Ben's linksWebsite: www.bjks.blog/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=-nWNfvcAAAAJTwitter:  https://twitter.com/bjks_tweetsOther podcasts/interviewers mentioned (in order of mention):This American Life: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/Lex Fridman: https://www.youtube.com/c/lexfridmanJoe Rogan: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMkTim Ferriss: https://tim.blog/podcast/Sam Harris: https://www.samharris.org/podcastsOprah Winfrey: https://www.oprah.com/Charlie Rose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJpyJeynU_E&list=PLf0rWsvaclOIfJaGY9xNGrh9lxLQgD2tLRevisionist History: https://www.pushkin.fm/show/revisionist-history/Opinion Science: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/The Turnaround: https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/the-turnaround-with-jesse-thorn/On Being: https://onbeing.org/The Life Scientific: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015sqc7Very Bad Wizards: https://www.verybadwizards.com/
