And I’ve learned things from my fans consistently throughout the years.Īnd so, yeah, I just feel really lucky about the community that we’ve built. We’ll get emails where it’s like, hey, you’ve been talking about this topic in a way that actually, I think, is less informed than it could be. They’re such lovely, thoughtful people who I continuously learn from. I think one thing that’s wonderful is that our audience is always pretty diverse, and also skews heavily female, which I think is really wonderful.Īnd we did this book event for our last novel, and afterwards somebody was like, “Your fans are so nice.” I want to be friends with all of our fans. Now we’re in our early thirties, and a lot of our fans are also now going into, I think, early thirties. I think it’s like they’ve grown a up with us. And they were like, “Oh my God, I’ve been a fan of you guys since middle school. If you’re curious about the power of a podcast brand, check out how loyal their audience has been. And then that was a really good time to transition to podcasts, where we could just fully be ourselves. And so we started to be more and more ourselves. And so it really started as a comedy channel.Īnd then I think as we grew, and as the channel grew, and as we grew up, it sort of became exhausting to be these characters. We were playing heightened versions of ourselves. Allison explains how they created their show and its characters.Īnd so when we started the YouTube channel, it was really, it was a couch show where we talked to the audience, but we weren’t really ourselves. They have a huge community of listeners, and hundreds of thousands of loyal fans. So how did Just Between Us begin? Gaby and Allison started an extremely successful YouTube channel in 2014, and made the switch to podcasting in 2019. And it’s such a pleasure to bring this conversation to you. They are also warm, eloquent, and introspective people. It’s really fun to play.Īlong with being great interviewers. Hypotheticals is, it’s like talking to your most creative friend about how you would respond to some unexpected relationship challenges, and then really, really digging into it. And then Allison does a game show called Hypotheticals, which defies explanation. They’re never easy, they’re always intense conundrums.Īnd then we have a topic section at the end where we talk about out something relevant to us. And then we answer our listener’s question up top. We try to focus on a topic for them, so as to keep the conversation streamlined on their expertise. And so we interview people that we find interesting, that we find fascinating. It’s like heartfelt advice, ridiculous games, and brutal honesty. Just Between Us is a comedic variety show that covers anything and everything. Allison is a mental health advocate, and Gaby is an icon and voice for the LGBTQ community. Gaby and Allison are both writers, New York Times bestselling authors, and podcasters. I first met Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin when they interviewed me on their podcast, Just Between Us. So in the spirit of giving what we hope to receive, I’m so excited to introduce you to the host of some incredible podcasts that maybe you don’t know about yet.Īnd we’re always looking to learn about new shows, so please reach out if you want to put on our radar. And in the podcast industry as a whole, people say that word of mouth is what really drives new listeners. So why have we started this new series? Well, I found most of my favorite podcasts have come from personal recommendations from friends. Gaby Dunn, who you just heard from, and Allison Raskin, about what inspired their podcasts, their favorite practical tips, how they feel about cannabis, and who they look to for creative inspiration. Since this is our first episode, we’re experimenting a bit with the format and we’ll be talking to today’s guests, the hosts of the podcast, Just Between Us. Our podcast club is here to introduce you to the most interesting podcasters we know, some who love weed and some who don’t. Welcome to the first episode of our new series, the How To Do The Pot podcast club. I’ll be like, “Ugh, you know what Gaby? You’re a real goddammit.” I’m like, I don’t know what it means, but I know in my heart what it means. My friend Mike told me one time, he was like, “I want to give you a compliment, but it’s compliment my grandma uses.”Īnd he said that his grandma will call people, she’ll be like, “Ugh, they’re real goddammit.” And he was like, “That’s how I feel about you.” This podcast discusses cannabis, and is intended for audiences 21 and over.
