Looking for a remote podcast cohost(s) — comedy, conversation, and a little weirdness!
I’m a 44-year-old songwriter, writer, past occasional stage actor and improv instructor with a writing (all kinds) and psychology background.
I’d love to develop a fun, unscripted conversational podcast with the right creative partner. Think Rick Glassman meets We’re Here to Help, with our own personalities and plenty of room for spontaneous humor.
Topics could include absolutely anything people want to hear about: music, pop culture, relationships, ridiculous dilemmas, neurodivergence, cooking disasters, and whatever else sparks an entertaining conversation. No political debates. Neutral zone, where everyone is welcome without alienating a whole group of people.
I’m looking for someone witty, curious, reliable, comfortable being themselves, and ideally experienced with podcast recording or production. I can have a conversation, but the podcasting side would be new to me, and I’m on the spectrum, so I need someone to teach me the basics.
I’m open to any age, gender, or neurotype. I want this to be fun! Chemistry matters most!
I am a high-functioning neurodivergent who loves laughing and connecting with people. I’m not offended ever, and the crazier the conversation, the better.

I’ve been doing my show for almost 2 years now, and I post on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. I make clips to post to TikTok, twice I had really good feedback, but the numbers went from double digit listeners to singles, and I’m not sure what’s going on. I wonder if I’m being too vulnerable or if I just need to change the attitude. I like talking about things that nobody talks about, as well as just getting people to know a little bit more about me, but it seems as if my show is slowly dying and I don’t know how to handle this. Any advice?

Hello my husband and I are starting a podcast! We read off haunted stories that are submitted, I was wondering if it would be better if we added little sound effects to it while we read or just read them ? Like if it says they hear a door opening make a door creaking etc

Hi - I’m looking for some non-biased advice. I started a podcast about 8 yrs ago. I named it something unique; you couldn’t find it anywhere else. I have an email and every social media handle with its name. I have a very small (30-50 downloads a week) audience but they love it. It’s my baby.

I recently found out that a couple years after I started mine, someone else started a podcast and wrote a book with the same name of my podcast. They are very successful with a niche audience and huge following.

I’m so discouraged. If you search my pod name, I come up on page 3 of the search results. What would you do in this situation? I want to keep podcasting, and would love to be successful, but is it realistic to keep my name?
