Skateboard Story Takes a Peek Behind the Curtain at The Bunt
What were the biggest challenges starting the podcast and growing it?
Probably getting people to listen to an audio only medium. These days everything is video. We would love to film our interviews as well, but being in Toronto makes it harder as the majority of our guests live elsewhere.
Other than equipment, what ways has the show evolved over time?
When we first started we were interviewing our friends, the episodes were more just random conversations than interviews about the guest. Now we like to deep dive on the guests career and find out everything we are curious about and what we feel people listening might be curious about as well. We also have the episodes broken down into segments: intro, interview, rapid fire, post office, rundown. When we first started it was kind of all over the place. It’s easier to plan out episodes now that we have a bit of structure.
What is the process of putting a season together?
Reach out to potential guests. Line up as many interviews as we can and start recording them. We like to do as many as we can before the season starts to air so we aren’t stressing every week to find a guest before Wednesday. We’ve had some close calls! Shouts to Nick Trapasso for bailing us out with a clutch last second interview to close out season 6.
How often do guys flake on interviews? How many unanswered texts per season?
Happens all the time! A lot of unanswered texts, but we are used to it. The skaters we approach don’t owe us anything so we can’t be mad if they flake or aren’t down to do an interview. The only time it’s annoying is if they confirm an interview date and time, we get together, set up the equipment and then they flake. It’s all part of the process though.
