This is where it all began. Two cousins, Drew and Charles, separated by 2.5 years of age and hundreds of miles, but united in many shared interests and hobbies. Charles was inspired to start a podcast one day after feeling bored and feeling like starting a podcast. Charles relayed this new idea to his younger cousin, and Drew was immediately on board. Given their expansive interests, skills, and experiences, Drew and Charles wanted to be intentionally broad about the topics they would cover, so they settled on Charles' cousin-sponsored nickname, Choody, and Drew's name, for the podcast title. Their first episode, Introductions, College & COVID, and Matt Farley, was released on February 16, 2021. Since then, Charles and Drew have released nearly 20 episodes, many featuring special guests, covering a variety of topics, ranging from food to the outdoors to American imperialism. They never have as much time to record and release as they would like, as they are busy with their work lives and have other hobbies and responsibilities. Still, you can always expect a new episode at least every six months! They are more than happy to continue producing this podcast for free for their own enjoyment. They genuinely enjoy creating excellent content, sharing it with those willing to listen, and expanding their knowledge of themselves and the world. Drew and Choody hope to inspire this sense of passion and creativity in all their listeners.
