Missed a previous episode from Season 2 of Podcaster Stories? Want to get caught up? Not a problem - listen to the complete second season right here!We listen to our favourite podcasts, but don’t always get to know the stories of the people behind these voices. Podcaster Stories looks to change that. Each show will have a conversation with podcasters across all mediums, and share their story – what motivates them, why they started their show, how they grew their show, and more. It’ll be a relaxed chat and – hopefully – help you be the podcaster, and person, you want to be.

episode 12: Mark Taylor of Education on Fire
In episode 12 of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Mark Taylor, host and creator of the Education on Fire podcast, a show for teachers, parents, and mentors to help them support children.
The show share stories and resources that Mark hopes will support children to thrive and be able to live their best lives.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
- how the idea for the podcast came about
- why it’s more than just a resource for parents and educators
- why he believes passion is key in anything you do
- why networking is key
- how Covid-19 has impacted the educational space
- why we should stop saying “kids need to catch up” when talking about the 2020 school year
- why the education system needs to change to a more open approach
- the two episodes that have really stood out for him so far
- why it’s okay to give up on a project
- how to integrate multiple show ideas to create the best podcast you can
- what advice he’d give to new podcasters
Settle back for an informative and insightful chat about why you need to not only have great content, but know the audience you’re creating that content for.
