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 9: Pete Cann of the Laughter & Positivity with Pete Podcast
In episode nine of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Pete Cann of the Laughter & Positivity with Pete podcast.
After building an agency for chefs for 11 years, the Covid-19 pandemic put Pete's business on hold, and he had to furlough his team. However, this allowed him to focus on a podcast idea he'd been thinking about for a while.
Taking his cue from a virtual event called the Laughter Phone, Pete expanded on how he used positivity and laughter in his business to start his Laughter & Positivity show, and bring the world of laughter yoga and laughter professionals to a wider audience.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
- how he first got into being a laughter professional
- his process for the show, as it switches between just featuring him and having guests as well
- the episode that stuck with him the most
- why his life could have been vastly different if he'd stuck on the path he was on as a younger man
- why Covid-19 has been an opportunity
- how you can use laughter yoga techniques in your everyday life
Settle back for a fun and interesting chat on why laughter truly is good for the soul.
