Chris Malek, Stacey Nyman, Michael Black and Carly Positano are roughly 5.5 years into producing their version of a Disney-based entertainment show, the Dub Dee Dub Revue Podcast. The podcast began with a few roughly scripted shows, but over time the team felt that they could improve the show quality, make people smile, and ultimately share their love for Disney with the listeners. Over 310+ episodes later, the team is still going strong and loves producing great weekly content.What the team didn’t know was how much work was involved in putting out a weekly podcast. Over time, the team has refined their process, greatly improved the quality of their sound and come up with new and original show ideas. And the listeners and downloads grew. And grew. And grew. Before their very eyes, “The Dubs” was becoming transformed from a fun weekly show into a bookmarked podcast destination. It was their incredibly good fortune that the listeners of their show quickly became their friends, and their friends formed an amazing and supportive community called “EDCOT.” Through this success, the team realized a few things…1. Doing the show “correctly” involved a significant commitment both in terms of time and money.2. Monetarily, sponsors were ready and willing! But exclusive sponsorship meant that the team would have to ignore their promoting their friends small businesses and creative pursuits.3. For their continued growth, the team would need to evolve and expand. But expansion, again, would require a larger commitment. So for the time being, they were content with doing 1 show per week. But they felt they could give more, so in spring of 2019 they toyed with the idea of a Disney News show (every other week) in addition to the regular Dubs content! 4. Expanding would become costly. Up to this point, “The Dubs” has been self funded, but in order to continue growing, produce great content, and stay true to their mission, the team is hoping to appeal to anyone who might be willing to help. In the near future, the team will need to purchase new microphones, recording and editing software, a small mixing board and a backup digital external recorder. UGH. Now…truth be told, the team will need to buy these items whether anyone helps or not, but the support of their friends would sure be helpful.
