The main one is The Jody Maberry Show.
Another one is from Creating Disney Magic with Lee Cockerel who was the Executive Vice President of Walt Disney for 10 years.
I have 7 public shows right now which are all active.

What Podcast Rain has happened because of your podcast shows?

I started this show for park rangers and then within a year, I teamed up with the Executive Vice President of Walt Disney. I had him as a guest on the park leader show, had no idea his sister-in-law had been a park ranger for 30 years and we just hit it off and decided to do a show together.
Having been a former park ranger, I got the opportunity in 2019 to speak to all of the state park directors in the United States. They invited me to come to Arkansas and speak to them so that, as a former park ranger, that was one of the biggest honors I've had and it all came from podcasting.

What things have you done over the years to get better at the craft of podcasting?

If I take that out and look at what else I have done to help me become a better podcaster, part of it has been talking with other podcasters.
Just hearing how other people interview their guests. Sometimes I just listen to how they ask questions or talk directly to listeners, and talk to guests.
Just finding what other people do and say and how does that apply to me. Maybe the answer is it doesn't, but can I learn anything from it?

How do you grow your audience?

Probably the best that I have experienced is to do what we're doing right now. If you're a guest on someone else's show, then the audience can listen to your podcasts or they wouldn't hear you.
Find a place where people are talking about the topics your show is about and, if it’s relevant, it gives you a chance to mention your podcast.

How do you get value from your show?

I have found the best thing I've gotten from my show is the challenge of showing up every week and having something which has helped me grow so much.
Now I understand my thinking a little more clearly and I can shape it out a little more. I've used podcast episodes to branch out into presentations I would give on stage or blog posts.
