Podcasts are so hot this season


With the outpour of podcast obsessions (thanks, Serial ), we've probably all thought to ourselves, "How hard can it be?" It seems like everyone with a social media following has tried his hand at the storytelling medium. But not everyone succeeds


To get a behind-the-scenes look at creating a podcast, we reached out to the hosts of seven popular shows. They shared their starting points and favorite podcasting tips, via phone and email interviews, with Mashable.



The shows we spoke to:




  • Welcome to Night Vale : A twice-monthly series about the spooky, fictional town of Night Vale, created by Joseph Fink.




  • The Read : A weekly sound-off that touches on pop culture gossip, social justice issues and whatever else hosts Kid Fury and Crissle feel like talking about.




  • Here Be Monsters : Host Jeff Emtman explores frightful true stories about the unknown.




  • Filmspotting : A weekly critical look at all things film by cofounder Adam Kempenaar and co-host Josh Larsen.
