About this episode

Manolo Moreno chats with Tom Lum about the craft of podcasting, covering various topics including their origin stories and listener experiences.

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. Manolo Moreno (Dr. Gameshow) chats with Tom Lum (Let's Learn Everything!) about podcasting, in a conversation that covers everything from getting dropped from a network for not being famous enough, to quantum physics and ghosts. Plus, they share their podcast origin stories, running gags on their respective shows, and what happens when a die hard listener becomes a die hard teenager.
