Episode 389: How the Rational Reminder Podcast is Made

This is the Irrational Reminder podcast, a weekly reality check on sensible investing and financial decision making from two Canadians. We're hosted by me, Benjamin Felix, chief investment officer, and Cameron Passmore, chief executive officer at PWL Capital. Welcome to episode three eighty nine, you and me, Ben and the whole band this week which is a very interesting idea, a cool way to finish up. It's been a remarkable year. Yeah, remarkable in many different ways. Last week, we had the whole band of co hosts. We have four regular ish co hosts now. True, it's a whole different band. Yeah, the other band, the back of the house behind the scenes band. So we had this idea earlier this year that for the end of the year episode, we would do a behind the scenes look at the podcast production by Cameron and I interviewing all the folks or the main folks that work on the show behind the scenes. So we talked to Matt Gambino, who's our video producer. I think he his title is multimedia specialist at PWL.

So now Ross is here listening now and he sits in on every episode so that he can give it the stamp of compliance approval at the time of recording instead of later. Then we talked to Angelica who has been with the show since the very beginning. She currently leads marketing at PWL. Back when the show started, she was more junior but huge supporter of the show and she's helped it grow into what it is now. And then we talked to Stephanie Sarinto who joined the team this year. She described it ties all the different pieces together to make sure everything's working properly. And then lastly, we talked to Easton Doran who is with the podcast consultant, which is an external audio production firm that's been producing the podcast since inception. I think we got introduced to Easton and the podcast consultant and the original founder, Matt Passi, through Ted Cites, who we got to know from the Capital Allocators podcast. I think that's where the introduction came from. I think that's right. They produce a lot of the big finance podcasts, and you made the call basically Cameron that if we're going to do this, we're going …
