Today is a very special episode because in June of 2018, I launched the All Things Iceland podcast. A full year later, there are 47 episodes (48 if you include this one) and more than 60,000 downloads. I am incredibly grateful for all of the people that have listened to this podcast and for those who do so in the future. I thought it would be fun to do something a little different for this special occasion.

Why, How, and When I Started the Podcast



To celebrate the one year anniversary of the All Things Iceland podcast, I dive into what sparked my interest in starting the show and how I went about launching it.



This has certainly been an adventure figuring out the world of podcasting and I look forward to continuously evolving.



All Things Iceland Podcast Announcements



The publication schedule is changing. I will release two episodes a month rather than four a month.



I am working on launching a new website and rolling out a new url.



Random fact of the episode



Some of you that follow my on Instagram might know where I record my episodes when I am doing them alone. For all of you that don’t, you might find kind of amusing that I record in my closet in my bedroom.



Currently, the microphone that I use for when I am alone and when I interview people is the same. However, the location makes a huge difference in the sound quality. Because sound waves from my recordings are absorbed by my clothes, I end up with a cleaner sound. One day it would be awesome to build a home studio or at least have a space other than my closet to record. Until then, I am happy with the closet.
