Casters on Casters: Sequoia Holmes, Ella McLeod, and Dimitry Pompée

About this episode

The episode explores the craft of podcasting through a conversation among hosts from different coasts.

It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters. Three different coasts are represented in this episode. Recording from Los Angeles is Sequoia Holmes (Black People Love Paramore) on the West Coast of the U.S. Dimitry Pompée (Eurovangelists) joins the conversation from the D.C. area on the East Coast. And nearly 4000 miles east of him, is Ella McLeod (Comfort Creatures) from London. The trio share what it's like behind the scenes, how they got into podcasting, and what they all have in common. Plus, the various challenges they've encountered making their shows.
