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 20: Tim Jahn of We're Only Human
This week on Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Tim Jahn of We're Only Human.
We're Only Human is a podcast celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit, through conversations with people from all walks of life.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
- how his early video show inspired the podcast
- the challenges he's found switching formats from video to audio
- why going all in on the quality of the podcast is key
- why starting a podcast for the wrong reasons is doomed to fail
- why getting divorced completely changed his way of life
- how he feels he gets more out of the podcast than his listeners
- how recording his show always brought him out of any doldrums he was experiencing
- why curiosity drives the best experiences
- the single characteristic that defines resilience
- why we need to remind ourselves that we're all making this up as we go along
- how one specific conversation about life being a series of train journeys blew him away
- how we can define our own lives
- what his goals are for the show moving forward
- what the unique value is that Tim can provide his listeners
- why his advice to new podcasters is to understand the motivation of why they're starting
- why your podcast needs an elevator pitch
- why we need to forego imposter syndrome
- why his heroes are everyone he's chatted to
Settle back for an open and free-flowing chat about life changes and recognizing our inner value.
