Advertise on podcast: Love What You Love

Welp everyone, I’m fixing a sign outside my door for a little bit that says “Gone Fishin’”. It’s time to take a little hiatus from Love What You Love. I started the podcast two years ago, and it has brought so much joy into my life - and hopefully into yours, too.  ut it does take a lot of time and effort, and while I love it and it’s so meaningful to me, I have to admit: I’m tired.   Because I do everything myself - finding guests, scheduling, interviewing, editing, promotion, the whole shebang - it’s a little bit like a second job. A second job that I have to pay to do. So for the time being, I’m on a hiatus. In the meantime, you can check out the back catalog of 59 episodes of Love What You Love. I’m really hoping to be back in the summer after I’ve had a chance to rest and recuperate, and attend to some stuff going on in my life. Until then, stay well, stay hopeful, and keep on loving what you love. See you soon!     Need transcripts?

I freaking love podcasts. I love them. I subscribe to way too many to keep up with, I’m always on the lookout for new ones, and in January 2020, I got back into podcasting myself after 10 years focusing on historical fiction. Did I mention I love podcasts? Here’s the cool thing: this week’s guest hosts one of my very favorite podcasts! Alie Ward is an Emmy Award-winning science communicator. She’s a writer, producer, and correspondent on too many dang shows to list (but I will, in the show notes!)  But her passion project is her comedic science show Ologies, named one of Time Magazine’s top 50 podcasts! It was so fun to geek out with Alie about podcasting. In this episode, we talk releasing perfectionism; west coast vs east coast podcasts; strategic Chardonnay at an Emmy Awards after party; why failure isn’t to be feared; finding your authentic voice; and so much more. Alie is a Daytime Emmy Award-winning science correspondent for CBS’s "The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation with Mo Rocca,” and host of “Did I Mention Invention?” on the CW.
