Josh Fong Log
Hint: FROM: User:groques It may be helpful to catalog the various podcasts MJ has been on throughout the years (e.g. survivalist podcast), and I'd be surprised if the list didn't already exist somewhere. Then you could perform "Podcasts similar to X", "Podcasts like X", etc. searches and a lot of times fans of that show will list related podcasts in forums like Reddit.

Podcast Research Takeaways - Week 1
- Information on each podcast has been easy to find for the most part. The hardest part has been finding the contact information for the host/team. For podcasts that don’t publicly have a contact email, this might be a clear indication of their reluctance to collaborate with OSE. However, reaching out on social media never hurts to try.
- So far, Spotify and Google searches are eventually going to limit the number of podcasts I find by next week. We need to expand and look onto other platforms once these two search options are exhausted. I think this will be how I approach initial podcast searching. Moving from one platform to another and exhausting each one before moving on.
- It has taken me longer than expected to research the first 15 podcasts and log them onto the spreadsheet. I hope this process becomes easier and smoother as I get more used to researching podcasts.
Podcast Research Takeaways - Week 2
- I have discovered an easier approach to finding podcasts. Instead of moving one by one, compile a list of podcasts to research every night for the next day. Then work through it on the spreadsheet. It has helped me avoid getting trapped in just listening to the podcasts and not moving through the spreadsheet. It is also nice to relax at the end of the day and listen through multiple podcast episodes without having to do much data entry.
- Complied a longer list of Podcast Keywords with these links from Marcin:
- Need to start setting definitive goals for each week to move through the spreadsheet. Marcin and I decided on the goal to reach out to 100 podcasts by July 20, 2020. We also decided the best approach, for now, is a targeted "the more the better" search.
- Goal for week 3: Reach 50 podcasts on the spreadsheet(27 more)
