Martha and Rob Southgate are the co-founders of Southgate Media Group, which started with a vision to make podcasts that are interesting, entertaining and informative for the whole family. In this highly entertaining interview, recorded LIVE of course at the first ever Women in Podcasting Festival in Chicago 2018, Martha and Rob shared with us about their passion for live events and podcast marathons, where the insights come from (Rob likes to take looong walks to encourage his inner voice to chime in), and how to tackle the business side of podcasting (and no, it's not about getting sponsors for your show...)
