Jason starts the conversation with how his podcast Grumpy Old Geeks started. After asking his then co-worker Brian to be his co-host, Jason reveals that their original premise is to quit immediately if they don’t make money within the first 10 episodes. Interestingly enough, it was only after hundreds of episodes that they made their first dime.
On another note, Jason shares why he doesn’t like the word “podfade,” because, in their language, it means quitting. He explains that some podcasters are quitting after an average of 13 episodes because they ran out of things to talk about.
“Generally, a lot of people should quit because they didn’t think it out before they started. They didn’t have a plan for long term growth and what they were going to do. They just didn’t have the chops to do it and that’s fine. I bet it was a fun experiment. They had a great time. They learned something. I don’t begrudge anybody that starts a podcast and gives it up. We do that. You got to try.” – Jason DeFillippo
Love What You Are Doing
Jason shares a few more stories when they started the podcast, such as a constant disagreement with his co-host. Coming from different fields and backgrounds, Jason described their discussions to be respectful. Ultimately their passion for their craft is the main reason why they are still podcasting.
“You have to find the passion for what you’re doing with the podcast or it’s not gonna last. If you wake up and you don’t want to do a podcast, podcasting is not for you.” – Jason DeFillippo
Invest On Your Equipment
When asked about their first mistakes, Jason reveals that they had to start with crappy gears. He says that such gears were a hindrance to the development of their podcast.
Jason adds that they had to spend thousands of dollars to keep on stepping up with their new gears. He also says that they had to take time to learn how to use them properly to maximize its capabilities.
“If you’re gonna jump in, jump in hot and get the good stuff for two reasons. One, you’re gonna sound better. You have to have good quality audio on a podcast nowadays. It’s table stakes period. But also if you don’t like podcasting, the higher end equipment has great resale value. So you’re gonna lose less money if you quit podcasting.” – Jason DeFillippo
