EP11 - Wind Turbine Winglets & Blade Extensions: Full Transcript

Alright, Allen, episode 11 big day. Big. The big one. One. I don't know why we're about, I don't know why this is a theme at the moment where we're just talking about the numbers of the episodes, but we're in double jettison. Just feels exciting. It feels exciting. I did look this up because my daughter was asking me about it through the day, like how many podcasts do the average. Podcasters put out before the it ends. I thought, well, that's a really good question because I've seen some in a couple hundred but most podcasts in around episode seven that's the industry. I really were like a way beyond that. Where w my John seven where did you get that info? Is that podcasts, podcasts, quitters.com or what? Google. Where do you go for any information like that? Google. You're like, you know, it's everyone's. Google's going to give you, it's gotta give you a source though. I mean, that could be Russian misinformation, like it definitely can be. Podcasts, quitters. Dot. Are you. Not a good source. Yeah. The dot. Are you, you should be a hint, right? You prior to lay off that site. Yeah, but I thought that was interesting right there that most podcasts only love last seven episodes, and I can see why. Right. Because you and I. We spend a good bit of time work on these episodes and we're going to have some more guests coming on. And you know, all the, all the prep work, all the after the post production stuff that we do and all the computer hardware and software and transcribing, all these things it takes, it's, we have a crew of people working on this pretty much day and night. Yeah. It's a soul crushing. It takes us soul crushing toll to get these all out to you. Listeners in podcast land, we are, ours is definitely more involved. Like ours is more involved than the vast majority because we do the video element and we separately record. So it's not just like zoom call, you know, one quick thing and Don, um. So, yeah, you're right there. There's a lot of work too. I think though, I think the big thing that podcasts struggle with is figuring out what is our podcasts about, and that's, that's the thing for almost everyone, where maybe you have an idea initially and then you just like run out of talking points or. It's just not as good, engaging as you thought it would be after like 10 episodes and now you're like trying to figure out what you're doing next. That seems to be a common theme. So, yeah, with my, my first one with my former business partner that we did, we eventually just ended up every convening, every, you know, once a week. And we're like, Dan, what are we talking about today? And I'm like, Lucas, I don't know. I don't know. And then we'd like. Beat our foreheads with our palms for 10 minutes sitting in the office. And then we're like, okay, we'll do this. And then after like too many weeks of that, you're like, it's just time. Like we just need to stop. Like if we don't always have, you know, good. Uh, whatever. And then obviously doing guests takes a lot out of you. It's, it's tough to consistently find guests unless you're a big, a big wig. So. Yeah, I mean that those are just hazards of the, the format, I think. Right.
