From Air Force Buddies to Podcast Hosts: The Story of The Digression Podcast

Imagine turning everyday chats with a friend into a podcast that people love. That’s exactly what Jody Hanks and Chris Rash did with The Digression Podcast. In this episode of Podcaster Stories, Danny Brown sits down with these two former airmen to explore their unique journey from military service to the podcasting world. Jody and Chris share how their 20+ years in the US Air Force forged a deep friendship and laid the groundwork for their show.
What started as casual conversations filled with anecdotes, tangents, and war stories eventually evolved into a popular podcast. They talk about the early days when they were just experimenting with the idea, fueled by afternoon scotch and sake, and how it took ten years of offline prep before they finally launched the show. One of the most interesting aspects of their story is how they overcame technical challenges to get their podcast off the ground.
From struggling with tech issues to figuring out the importance of visual cues, Jody and Chris faced numerous hurdles but never lost their enthusiasm. They also dive into the feedback they receive from their audience, which they say is one of the most rewarding parts of podcasting. The Digression Podcast isn’t just about light-hearted banter; Jody and Chris also tackle serious topics like military deaths at Fort Hood and sexual assault in the armed forces.
Their goal is to entertain while also providing meaningful discussions on important issues. If you’re curious about how two airmen turned their friendship into a successful podcast, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a fascinating blend of humor, heartfelt stories, and practical advice for anyone interested in the world of podcasting.
