Who is the Adventurer?
Hi, I’m Dwight, the voice behind PodQuesting. My passion for podcasting sparked during my college years when I decided to take some fun classes, which led me to broadcasting. Hosting a few radio shows opened my eyes to the magic of audio storytelling, and I eagerly dove into classes on Audio Production, Video Production, and more broadcasting. It wasn’t long before I realized that the future of radio broadcasting is podcasting — if not already the present.
My podcasting journey, however, hasn’t been without challenges. I’ve ventured into multiple podcasting quests, facing obstacles before even encountering any ‘evil foes.’ I started a comedy podcast with my morning radio show co-host, but managing two busy schedules proved difficult, and we only made it a few episodes in. Later, during the pandemic of 2020, I attempted a podcast about success (very original, right?). I even interviewed a stage magician-turned-paranormal fiction author — my very own Gandalf!
But why did that podcast fail? Well, after only a handful of episodes, I found myself stuck in a familiar place: looking at my download number.It wasn’t what I expected, and I self-sabotaged by walking away too soon, overwhelmed by doubt and imposter syndrome.
And that brings us to today. I’ve been putting off my dream of building a successful podcast network for far too long, despite knowing it’s been my goal since taking broadcasting classes. PodQuesting is my latest quest, a journey I’m determined to see through to success, and I invite you to join me on this adventure.
