About this episode

Cliff Ravenscraft interviews Jason Cabassi about his journey in podcasting and building a network over 15 years.

In this conversation, I sat down with Jason Cabassi, someone I had the privilege of helping launch into podcasting back in 2011. Since then, Jason has gone on to produce more than a thousand episodes and build an entire podcast network centered around the shows he loves. We talked about how it all started with a fan podcast for The Walking Dead , the unexpected opportunities that followed, and how a simple curiosity-driven approach opened doors to interviews, live events, and long-term creative work. What stood out most in this conversation is what it actually looks like to sustain something over time. Jason shares the reality of turning podcasting from a hobby into a full-time career, the role community has played in his journey, and the challenges that come with growth, especially around marketing and monetization. This is a conversation about longevity, creative fulfillment, and what happens after the early excitement wears off and you’re still showing up years later, continuing to build something meaningful.
