Last month, I followed through with a long time dream of mine to make a podcast. Now, I'm in that awkward spot of figuring it out as I go, making plenty of mistakes, as well as a few happy accidents, and hopefully, getting a few things intentionally right along the way. The show is about Makers, and the Maker Movement in New Jersey. A lot of the future guests I've approached so far are friends I know who love making stuff as much as I do. They are Artists, Programmers, Cosplayers, small business owners, Farmers, and more. I am so looking forward to bringing their stories to you as the show progresses. This will be a slow process going forward, as I am building this from the ground up by myself, and learning as I go about quite a lot.

There are two episodes out as of writing this post, a third and fourth recorded, and a few more scheduled in the not-so-distant future. The response so far from my friends, family, and community, have been stellar and most humbling. I sincerely thank you.

My goal with the podcast is to help highlight some of the awesome things going on around me that I think deserve more attention, and will maybe help inspire others to start their own personal maker movement. I'm a Maker myself, learning on the job how to make a podcast, and enjoying every minute of it. NJ Makers Podcast is on iTunes, Soundcloud, Google Play, and Stitcher as of a couple weeks ago. You can follow the show on Twitter and Facebook @NJMakersPodcast. I would love to hear what you think, good or bad. Please leave a review on iTunes or whatever podcast app you use, that would be much appreciated and a big help.
