Jonathan Messinger is the creator of the kids podcast Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian.  When his son became interested in audiobooks, he went looking for podcasts for kids. When he couldn’t find anything, he decided to create his own. He writes and performs all episodes of the podcast, with his 9year old son Griffin serving as editor.   How Jonathan got into podcasting (01:37) Why Jonathan decided to make a podcast rather than a book (02:53) How the sound design of the show has developed (05:19) Jonathan’s process for creating the podcast (07:25) The challenge of getting the word out about the show (08:48) Why Jonathan started doing live shows and what his format is (09:54) Jonathan’s involvement in the Gen-z Network (14:13) Some of Jonathan’s podcasting failures (19:22)   The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian http://www.finncaspian.com/   earth@finncaspian.com   Twitter: @finncaspian https://twitter.com/finncaspian   Instagram: @finncaspian https://www.instagram.com/finncaspian   Podcast Engineering School – Episode 33 https://podcastengineeringschool.com/jonathan-messinger-pes-033/   GEN-Z Media http://www.gen-z.fm/     Best Robot Ever (All the GEN-Z podcasts) http://www.bestrobotever.com/   The Unexplained Dissapearance of Mars Patel http://www.marspatel.com/   PRX https://www.prx.org/
