I love that @JoshMuccio is doing this. A few weeks ago he tweeted at me, asking for feedback on some names for the podcast. I honestly didn't think he would actually do it, let alone continue podcasting, nearly every day. Awesome work.
What's your goal with the podcast, Josh? Soon you'll publish more episodes than Product Hunt Radio. 😃
P.S. check out yesterday's podcast with @brian_lovin on the launch of Buffer's new project, Pablo.
@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! Yeah, I realize I'm crazy for doing a "daily" podcast (Mon-Thu). I figured I'm spending all this time on Product Hunt each day, I might as well do something useful that others will enjoy.
I've always been very curious about the backstories, technologies, and people behind the products we see here everyday. Sometimes the maker of the product will tell the story in a blog post, but not always and I usually don't take the time to search for it. But if there was a place where the stories are shared in real time, and you can count on a new story everyday (Mon-Thu); then maybe I would gain a deeper understanding of how successful products are built.
The Daily Hunt is just that! I interview one maker behind one of the popular hunts each day. Then I publish the episode that day! If you don't like founder stories, then you won't like the podcast :)
Eventually (pie in the sky) I would like to have small team of people to help interview founders and make producing the episodes a more turn-key operation. But for now it's just me.
This podcast is for the Product Hunt community, so you tell me what you want from a daily podcast!
@joshmuccio YES! We've discussed internally how much time to spend telling maker stories ourselves. I'd love to create a destination of written content, video interviews, audio podcasts, etc. highlighting the backstory of the 16-year-old kid that made a cool app to well known CEO's launching a new product. But that takes a lot of time and talent to do right and we need to focus.
I love the idea of the community -- yourself and others -- helping tell the story of makers. Let me know how we can help. 👊
@rrhoover@erictwillis's Product Hunt Stories [http://makersuccess.com] is another great example of a collection of maker stories. I would LOVE to create what you mentioned ☝️- There isn't a shortage of good stories for sure! It's only a matter of time and resources needed to build the team behind it. Sure sounds fun though! 😀
Even though it was only a few shows in, I was really excited that @joshmuccio wanted to talk to me about Bindle on the Daily Hunt last week. The concept was perfect, and gave us an extra bonus to our PH day which was already exciting enough. @rrhoover and crew are known for their community, but UGC community/content like DH is going to be amazing longtail.
@joshmuccio So impressed with this man! It was great to be your first interviewee on the show and I'm thrilled that you're using PodClear to record these interviews. Keep up the awesome work!
@rrhoover@christoy@spencer414 Perhaps this is weird, but I can't wait to hear the first round of feedback from listeners! I love doing the show and I'm eager to find ways to make it better. It's not like an app where people submit bugs - the feedback is far more subjective. We shall see! Def think intro/background music is needed.
@rrhoover@spencer414@christoy Whoah! Cool idea. I wonder how that works with licensing? Is there an easy way to give credit and link to the song on iTunes or something?
It was super fun getting to chat with @joshmuccio yesterday about Pablo, I'm excited to follow along with Daily Hunt and see how things evolve from here :D
@brian_lovin Thanks for the support Brian. Yesterday's episode was a lot of fun!

I love this idea! I was fortunate to be in one of @joshmuccio's interviews last week after launching Revue. It was a lot of fun and it felt great to be able to tell my story behind launching the product and my story as a entrepreneur. Great work Josh!
@mdekuijper Thanks Martijn! Here's a link to your episode: https://dailyhunt.co/revue/ Oh, and let me know what you think of the site design Martijn, you've obviously got some mad skillz in UX/Design.
First heard of it on monday when we launched Short and I'm glad I had the chance to be interviewed. I think the idea of the podcast is great and hearing all the different stories. It already feels like a part of Product Hunt for me. Keep it up, @joshmuccio!
@alexmuench Thanks Alex! Your episode (https://dailyhunt.co/short/) surprised me! Had no idea you built your app as a final project in university. I'm excited to see what you do next!
Congrats on spotting an opportunity and jumping on it, @JoshMuccio ! (Even better: sticking with it!!) I've thoroughly enjoyed the episodes I've caught so far. Thanks for getting us the inside stories on founders and products!
@samatrouh Thanks Sam! Today's episode (which tells the story of MY launch today) is about to go live. I don't think today's show will disappoint! #DailyHunt
