🎉 20,000 DOWNLOADS… WHAT A JOURNEY! 🎉

The Mick & Dave Show

We're both Master Plasterers and former Plastering Lecturers, and about ten months ago I came up with a simple idea: "Why don't we start a podcast?"

The only problem was... neither of us had ever made a podcast before, and none of our mates had either. We were stepping completely into the unknown, learning everything through trial and error.

Fast forward ten months, and we've now passed 20,000 downloads.

In this episode, we share the journey—the things that worked, the mistakes we made, what we'd do differently, and the lessons we've learned along the way. If you're thinking about starting your own podcast, or you've already begun your podcasting journey, we hope our experiences will help you avoid a few pitfalls and give you the confidence to keep going.

If we can help in any way, get in touch with us through our Facebook page, The Mick & Dave Show.

Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy the episode.
