Podfather.me Podcast - Interview with Noah May of "Lethal Venom"

In this episode, I sit down with Noah May, the host of "Lethal Venom" podcast, to unpack how a college journalism student turned a classroom assignment into a thriving variety show with a bold, truth-telling edge.Noah shares his unconventional path to podcasting—from nearly giving up after hitting technical roadblocks, to landing a spot in Auburn University's exclusive podcasting class, to designing his own AI-assisted artwork when professional quotes broke the student budget.We dive deep into:

• Why he ditched intro music entirely (and why you might want to too)
• How anonymous Google Forms turned listeners into active participants
• The legal art of "bleeping out names" to tell explosive stories without getting sued
• His multi-platform strategy that's landed him on Spotify, Apple, Pandora, and beyond

If you're grinding through solo production, wrestling with video vs. audio-only decisions, or trying to build community without a team—Noah's DIY approach will give you tactical ideas you can implement this week.
