Welcome to the next in the Podcast Showcase series, where we share podcasts with you in the words of the podcasters themselves. This time, we talk to The Community Cats Podcast
Sum up your podcast in three sentences
The Community Cats Podcast is where you learn how to turn your passion for cats into action. We help you make your home, backyard, neighborhood, and community a better place for cats through the podcast and other virtual training programs. You are not alone helping cats.
Who is your ideal listener? Who loves your show?
Folks who want to make the lives of cats better in their homes and community. Individuals and small non-profit organizations who support Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) for Community Cats.
What made you start this podcast?
In 2016, my then 13 year old son suggested I start a podcast as I had just left a job running a cat organization (Mrfrs.org) for 20 years. I had a mentoring program that had 400 organizations on my waiting list and I wanted to offer them something to still be able to help them create TNR programs in their towns.
What have you learned about your subject thanks to this podcast?
I thought I would only be interviewing folks for about a year or so and I would run out of people to interview. I was so wrong… I meet so many folks who are really turning their passion for cats into action and making a difference.
The number of people involved helping cats is much higher than I ever anticipated.
What has your experience of podcasting been? What do you love / hate about the process?
I love batch recording. I love doing the interviews as I learn something new everyday. I really don’t hate anything about the process except maybe focusing on this as a business since it is also a passion project.
If someone wants to start listening to your podcast, which episode would you recommend they start with? Why?
Episode 435: Colony Caretaking Tips and Tricks Part 1. This is a great session about how to take care of cats in your community. It is a recording of a free webinar series that we offer in partnership with Neighborhood Cats during the year.
Which other podcasts do you love listening to?
Oh, there are so many. Arden Moore’s show- Oh Behave, The Two Crazy Cat Ladies, Hire the Smile, The Dr’s Farmacy, Just in Health are some of my “go to” podcasts.
