Rising Stars: Meet Evo Terra of Midtown

Today we’d like to introduce you to Evo Terra.

Hi Evo, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I went from the farm to audio, automotive aftermarket, advertising, and back to audio and managed to travel worldwide and live abroad for a few years.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been smooth?
My biggest struggle has been the semi-annual identity crisis. Not much of a “road.” More like skiing down a mountain, switching between marked trails and the trees, never quite knowing what was around the bend—only that I couldn’t go back. But I’ve turned that to my advantage, as I’ve found that asking, “what the heck am I doing?” is a good way to ask, “is this what I want to be doing?” which helps me know when to make a change.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I work in podcasting and have for the better part of 20 years. I had the 40th podcast ever way back in 2004. I wrote the book on podcasting—Podcasting for Dummies—and have been inducted into the Podcast Hall of Fame. I produce a variety of podcasts for companies and organizations around the world. I’m a frequent speaker at podcasting conferences and want to improve podcasting.

Alright, before we go, can you talk to us a bit about how people can work, collaborate, or support you?
I help organize the PHX Podcast Club (PHXPodcast.club), a monthly informal gathering/mixer of local podcasters, the podcast curious, and a few listeners. We meet from 6–8p every third Thursday of the month! I’d love any podcasters or anyone interested in podcasting to meet up with us—more info at the site.
