In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Stuff You Should Know" hosted by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant. Coming up on 15 years and now over 2,000 episodes Josh and Chuck have managed to continuously challenge each other while providing information you should know in a non-pretentious manner. Now with a large and loyal following of everyday people they are able to host live shows as well as leverage the brand across books and even a board game collaboration.
So, why has this been so successful? Is it just two nice guys who are sufficiently curious about everyday things with great chemistry? Not surprisingly, yes. Combine that with a great podcast title and a bit of a foundation from a formerly-related educational website on which you can hit the ground running and maybe you too can repeat their success.
