    Do you listen to sports podcasts regularly? If I know my audience like I think I do, you likely said, "No, not regularly." But after today's episode, I bet you're at least a little more curious about sports and podcasting.

    Buckle up for a fun conversation with Amy Buchan Siegfried, half of the creative duo behind the Sports Curious podcast. As we navigate the twists and turns of Amy's transition from the corporate jungle into the bustling world of podcasting alongside her brother, she'll show us how to uncover the art of weaving sports banter into your everyday life.

    This chat highlights Amy's dedication to making sports talk accessible, blending it seamlessly with pop culture for those moments when you find the need to contribute more than a nod during a sports-centered chat. You'll hear how the siblings make it fun to target topics for their ideal listeners and the thought process behind choosing suitable topics for their show.

    And if you need inspiration to "just keep podcasting," we've got you covered. Amy also started podcasting in 2018 and as two veteran podcasters who've been doing this for a while, we share how we've been able to stay in the game -- even when burnout lurks around the corner. We get honest about the unpredictable nature of podcasting, from impromptu parking lot interviews to strategizing growth without losing the soul of our passion project.

    Whether you're a sports enthusiast or a newcomer looking to score points in your next friendly debate, this episode is your playbook to becoming as sports-savvy as you've always wanted.
