I first heard about Liz Covart on The Podcast Producers hosted by Jessica Rhodes and Corey Coates. I really liked her take on some of the subjects she talked about on that show and wanted to find out more about her. Liz has a PhD in history and has a lot of interesting things to say about the Founding Fathers and early American history. On the show, we mostly talk about her background, her love for American history, and her podcast, Ben Franklin’s World. There is also a part where we geek out a little bit about Game of Thrones, so spoiler alert! Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio. Show Highlights 06:30 – Why did Liz start podcasting? 11:15 – Liz talks on why she loves history. 15:40 – What’s one of the weirdest questions Liz has been asked as a historian? 26:15 – Ben Franklin’s World has around 200,000 downloads. 30:55 – Liz talks about John Quincy Adams. 37:00 – Historians are terrible marketers and they’ve stopped taking directly to the public. 47:00 – We geek out on Games of Thrones. Spoiler alert! 54:45 – Liz already has guests booked from now until October for her podcast. 01:03:50 – Even though Liz has a PhD in history, she still gets confused when people address her as Dr. Covart. 01:08:50 – Remember Harry has an ebook out on Amazon!   FULL SHOW NOTES: http://www.podcastjunkies.com/43★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I first met Jen Briney at New Media Expo and really loved what she’s doing with her podcast. She reviews the bills coming out of the House of Representative and Congress on her podcast. Be warned that this is not a 30 minute show! Jen and I talk about her podcast, how she got started, how she’s monetizing her show, and much, much more. Please feel free to contact either me or Jen if you guys have any ideas on how she can spread the word and increase her listenership.
