So what makes a podcast go from good to great? What separates a so-so podcast from something akin to This American Life or Radiolab? Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski talk about the nuances and nuisances of podcast greatness as they discuss their new, high-production show, Where There’s Smoke. From sudden realizations and inspirations to a fully immersive podcast experience, Brett and Nick give the full tour, and their advice and perspective applies way beyond podcasting itself.

He went through the diet hamster wheel a few times before finally figuring out what works—small, iterative changes that make weight loss part of your daily habits, rather than a sheer test of will power. Gregg talks about his experience and gives a few tips on eating and living healthier on this very lightweight (but heavy hitting!) Wordslinger episode.
