[SPECIAL ARCHIVE EPISODE] How to build a successful subscription podcast with White Vault producers Travis Vengroff and Kailtlin Statz

I've known Travis for YEARS, back when he was deep into trying to make a go of it as an independent comic creator. So, when he suddenly blew up with The White Vault, an audio drama, I took notice. I've been wanting to speak with him and Kaitlin for years, and I was so excited we could set this up. I know several indie comic creators and authors who have successfully transitioned into audio dramas, and since I have a podcast I'm fascinated by that kind of thing. 

I love all their shows, but for my money, Vast Horizon is my favorite. However, it costs NO MONEY to check them out. Fool and Scholar rely on Patreon to create and fund their shows, and with over 1,000 patrons, they are one of the most successful Patreon creators that I personally know. 

Listen to this episode if you want to learn: 

  • How to subvert listener expectations

  • Why audio is one of the best mediums for horror

  • How to collaborate with your spouse and live harmoniously

...and much more. They blew me away by talking about how they acted as if they had 1,000 subscribers even when they had less than a handful.
