Bloggy Friends Show Podcast Marks Six-Year Anniversary
Ashley Grant's "Bloggy Friends Show" podcast is celebrating six years since its first episode aired. The podcast's launch significantly altered Grant's career trajectory.
The "Bloggy Friends Show" podcast, hosted by Ashley Grant, has marked its sixth anniversary since the premiere of its first episode on April 1, 2020. The launch of the podcast proved to be a pivotal moment, significantly altering Grant's professional path.
Grant initially considered starting a podcast in 2016 but was held back by apprehension. A turning point came in 2019 when she researched podcasting for an article for GoDaddy and attended Podcast Movement 2019, gaining crucial insights.
With encouragement from RSS.com co-founders Alberto Betella and Ben Richardson, and Marketing Director Brian Jensen, Grant overcame her fears to launch the show during the early stages of the pandemic.
Over the past six years, Grant has interviewed numerous guests, written extensively about podcasting, and hosted "Podcasting 101" for two years. She also launched a second podcast, "More Movement Please," which has now surpassed 50 episodes.
Grant is planning new audio projects and a new show for later this year, emphasizing the importance of simply starting a podcast, regardless of initial equipment or timing perfection. She offers advice for aspiring podcasters via her website.
