It's the 10 Year Anniversary of the PE Funcast

This episode explores the tenth anniversary of the Private Equity Funcast, reflecting on its journey, content, and impact. Against the backdrop of its nearly 1.7 million downloads and listeners from 195 countries, the hosts, Devin and Jim, discuss their consistent, unplanned approach to podcasting, emphasizing the importance of regular content creation. More significantly, they analyze the podcast's most popular episodes, revealing a preference for "inside baseball" content focusing on private equity jargon, fundraising processes, and operational aspects. For instance, episodes on confusing PE jargon and the fundraising process consistently rank highly. The hosts also discuss their deliberate choices to avoid advertising and curated guest selection, focusing on individuals with unique perspectives within the private equity industry. In contrast to other podcasts, their approach prioritizes evergreen topics and avoids promoting specific products or viewpoints. This strategy, coupled with their consistent output, has resulted in a loyal audience and unexpected career opportunities for listeners and even the hosts themselves.
