The Chess Experience

7 Insights From 2 Years of Chess Podcasting With Daniel Lona

087 Rarely have I publicly reflected on my experiences from running this podcast. Or what I’ve learned from talking to so many titled players, coaches, and commentators. But it’s been a little over two years since the show’s launch. And it has recently crossed 250K downloads (woohoo!)

To top it off, we’ve delivered eighty guest interviews and counting.

So, I figured a little reflection was due.

In this episode, I share insights on the improvement, insights on the chess community, and a few “behind-the-scenes” thoughts from years of being a chess podcast host.

I also dive into: 

  • My five most personally meaningful episodes.
  • Why I believe the chess community is better than most other skill/hobby communities.
  • Why this podcast has only just begun.

My membership relaunch is just weeks away! Sign up for the waitlist here to be notified.
