The Podcasting market might feel oversaturated right now, but creating a podcast can still be a valuable experience for creators. It can do more than amplify your voice — it can strengthen your skills, expand your network, and create a lasting community. But knowing how to launch, sustain, and grow a show isn’t always obvious, especially for first-timers.
On this episode of First Frame, hosts Jennifer Park and Cameron Zinger sit down with Kristina Lao and Raquelle Roodenberg, the co-founders and co-hosts of the Bombshell Brunches podcast. They discuss how their project evolved from a small monthly brunch meetup into a multi-season show with over 150 interviews, and discuss the challenges they faced along the way, from tech fears and perfectionism to balancing multiple commitments. They also share practical advice on building community, collaborating effectively, creating sustainable workflows, and how your podcast can open doors by attracting new clients, collaborators, and opportunities.
