On this episode of the Audience podcast, Stuart talks to Charles Austin about the comedy podcast, Episode One.

Episode One is a satirical podcast that started out as just a funny passion project for three friends. After a while, they realized that they had an idea that could possibly take off. E1 is a podcast starring Andrew, Branson, and Charles. Each episode is the first—and only—episode of a failed podcast that never existed. Today, Stuart and Charles talk about what it takes to make a funny podcast while staying genuine. They also talk about when to delegate tasks, when to crowdsource ideas, and when to collaborate.
