Building an engaged community, sprouted through your podcast is one of the goals many shows try to achieve. It takes a lot of time, consistency and effort to create the right added value and right vibes to make something like this bloom. In this session we'll dive into the core elements of that with Guest Thomas Smolders.

De Standaard has a brand new show: Loopje met de wetenschap (Dutch/Flemish). In this four episode series Dries Desmet and Maxie Eckert dive into the science behind running. What’s the true impact on our health? How do we train efficiently? Should we get very expensive shoes or will regular shoes do? And how do we get our lazy butts out of the sofa? WAJOO did the sound design and mix for this show.

Level up your interview skills in our interactive online workshop! You’ll learn a bunch of tips and tricks on preparing an interview, hosting, editing and comforting your potentially nervous guests. Up to 5 people, including an analysis from WAJOO on growth potential for your show! All info on wajoo.studio/workshops.
