Still Growing Album Cover

Here’s the new album cover for the Still Growing… Gardening Podcast!

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share that Still Growing… a weekly gardening podcast will be launching next month!

Creating My Podcast

I created Still Growing… because I love to listen to gardening podcasts myself. One thing I noticed, however, is that most of the shows I love are fairly short and I missed spending more time learning from the experts.

Still Growing… has always been my signature sign-off for my blog The View from Up Here. I thought it was the perfect name for a gardening podcast. I spent two weeks doing research for the show, lining up guests and gathering up audio equipment. During the last weeks in May, Phil was on a business trip and when he came back home, I had turned my office into a little recording studio. Over the summer, I’ll share more information about the equipment I purchased, what I love to use, and what got returned to Amazon :).

In future posts, I’ll share the resources I found to be the most helpful for setting up a podcast. Some folks are very generous and transparent about the things they do to create their podcasts. I couldn’t have gotten everything together so quickly without these on-line resources.

Show Format: Still Growing… Podcast

Still Growing… is designed to be an hour-long show. I’ll start the show with a 5 minute monologue which will include personal comments, insights, etc. which will be featured in my blog. Then, I will have an in-depth interview with an expert designed to help you and your garden grow. Finally, I’ll include out-takes and extras at the end of every show for anyone who wants to hear them. (Phil and I love movies and we especially love out-takes. The out-takes for Still Growing… are a great way for me to feature the reality behind the show; the bloopers, funny moments, sweet contributions from the kids, etc. I think it will add a nice personal touch to the show. Plus Grandma will listen all the way through if I feature the grandkids *wink* so I’m pandering a little here!)

Still Growing… Podcast: Guest Line-up

I’ve got a fun line-up planned for this summer. These guests are extra-special to me because they were all willing to help me get the show going and share their expertise with you!  So, here are the summer episodes of Still Growing…(SG) I have planned so far:
