86. Tumbling Head-first Into a Successful Science Podcast with Marshall Escamilla




The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education show

Summary: <p>Many edupreneurs find themselves creating classroom resources to sell to other time-strapped educators. Marshall and his wife, Lindsay, decided to start a podcast, not for their fellow teachers or teacher side hustlers, but in an area where they saw a real lack: inspiring science education content. Combining Lindsay’s background in science journalism with Marshall’s passion for teaching middle school and his musical talent, the couple started Tumble, a self-described “science podcast for kids, to be enjoyed by the entire family.” In this episode, Marshall explains the process for creating each episode, how they gained the attention of brands early (and how they’ve recently leveraged this into a brand partnership), what role Patreon plays in his business (and what he’s learned that you can apply to your very own content creation account), and the invaluable role networking has played in the success of the podcast every step of the way.</p> <p>To learn more about the Tumble Science Podcast:</p> <p><a href="https://www.sciencepodcastforkids.com/">https://www.sciencepodcastforkids.com/</a></p> <p>To visit Tumble Patreon channel: </p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/tumblepodcast">https://www.patreon.com/tumblepodcast</a></p> <p>To listen to Tumble: </p> <p><a href="https://beta.prx.org/series/38125">https://beta.prx.org/series/38125</a></p>
