We recently connected with Scary Not Scary Podcast and have shared our conversation below.
Scary Not Scary Podcast , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
We are a paranormal podcast with a splash of true crime, and all the most craziest weird stories you can think of. We are Mandi, Ashley, and Carolina the hosts of Scary Not Scary podcast, Our topics are very broad and we don’t shy away from anything, we are based in San Antonio, Texas. All three of us are creative in our own unique way, but coming together and wanting to start a podcast was a unanimous decision. Mandi loves everything paranormal and horror, while also experiencing the paranormal first hand and growing up around it. Ashley loves history and is a drama major herself, writing scripts and researching is a forte of hers. Does she like the paranormal? Not so much, but it definitely was something the peeked her interest. Carolina also loves everything paranormal, horror, and weird. She too grew up around ghost stories, legends, and experiencing the paranormal, so starting a Paranormal Podcast was never a question. That is honestly how we got our podcast name Scary Not Scary, Caro and Mandi loving every bit of the paranormal, while Ashley is scared out of her mind the entire time but also secretly loving it.
Scary Not Scary Podcast , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
The process was not easy it took a lot of time, research, and dedication. We are very fortunate to have a very talented team who have helped us along the way. Ashley’ s brother Drew created our intro music and also helped us with our sound and audio. Timothy (Mandi’s husband) is our podcast editor and definitely works hard to make us sound studio professional. Nick (Ashley’s husband) created our logo and also creates our art work for the episodes. We are all literally a Scary Not Scary Family, the show would not be what it is today with out everyone’s hard work. After hours of research, frustrations, and tears we finally got the hang of what we are doing. Starting your own podcast is not easy there is so much work that goes into it. This includes figuring out what your niche is, what kind of vibe you want to put out, and definitely your whole goal. We really wanted to create a fun, non judgment, safe space for everyone to share their experiences with us. To show everyone you are not the only weirdo out there, we are all weirdos here.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Our goal is to build a community and to show everyone they are not alone. hope to continue to build our brand and spread it out like wild fire. It’s not about fame or money, it’s about connecting with people, especially our listeners. We want to be able to give good relatable content while also being able to speak our minds and of course to have fun. Last year we won Peoples Choice Awards for #2 Best Local Podcast in San Antonio. That is an amazing honor, knowing that we have support in our community is special. We continue to brain storm and bring new ideas for our podcast to the table.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Knowing we have support is the most rewarding aspect of all of this. Our family and friends have supported us since day one, even with bad audio they supported us (we’ve gotten so much better since episode 1-5) For the longest time we thought we were putting content out with no one listening besides family and friends. Then slowly the reviews started coming in, and slowing our community started building. We truly have the most amazing dedicated listeners, this October we will be celebrating our three year podcast anniversary. It’s because of them why we continue to make content, connecting, and meeting new people is so amazing. We hope to continue to connect and bring more laughs, scares, and fun for the years to come.
