Q & A with Trey from Hashtag Questions with Brandon and Trey<\/h2>\n
\n

When did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

We started podcasting in December of 2017.
\n###Why did you start podcasting?<\/p>\n

We had been talking about starting a podcast for years, and finally found the motivation and ambition to start last year. We had big plans to do a scripted show, but realized how much work it would be and how lazy we truly were. That\u2019s when we came up with\u2026
\n###What\u2019s the name of your show and what is it about?<\/p>\n

\u2026Hashtag Questions with Brandon and Trey<\/a>. Super original concept where the two of us share in some witty banter while answering questions from the Twitterverse which were never truly intended to be answered.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcasting set-up? Hardware, software, CMS, etc.<\/h3>\n

I (Trey) use a Blue Yeti and Brandon uses an Audio Technica. When you listen to the audio, you can clearly hear how much trouble he has holding it up to his mouth\u00a0.<\/p>\n

How have you promoted your podcast?<\/h3>\n

When we first started, it was pushed hard on Twitter<\/a> while we built a following. I won\u2019t say I started this trend, but I certainly helped perpetuate it. I had a filter set up on TweetDeck so that any time someone tweeted \u201cpodcast recommendation\u201d I would be alerted. I would then, ever-so-subtly and with maximum self-deprecation, promote our show. It worked well enough for us to be able to build our following, and then I noticed quite a few more podcasters flooding in, which kinda killed the vibe. We also have a handful of really devoted listeners who are constantly sharing with their friends and families.<\/p>\n

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?<\/h3>\n

I would have liked to know how much work it would be to carve out a niche. We\u2019re very fortunate to have an awesome dynamic which has helped tremendously, but if you\u2019re not constantly hustling and promoting, it\u2019s so incredibly easy to get lost in the noise.<\/p>\n

\n

If you want to hear answers to questions that were never meant to be answered by some pretty dynamic co-hosts, then what are you waiting for? Subscribe<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

And if you happen to want to be part of the show, use the hashtag #QuestionMcQuestionFace on Twitter. Trey and Brandon will be using 150 questions asked using that hashtag over the next 25 weeks!<\/em><\/p>\n
