Yesterday I announced that I was quitting The Andrew Deitsch Podcast. Today, I'm so excited to announce my brand new show, The Wheels2Walking Podcast!! 2 years ago, I met Richard Corbett for the first time to record Episode 47 of the Andrew Deitsch Podcast. We sat down and he told his powerful story of spinal cord injury, addiction, suicide, and recovery publicly for the first time. This was the exact reason why I started my podcast. To give people a platform where they could share their stories and talk about deep subjects. After listening to his episode over and over, Richard realized he had something to say, and decided that he wanted to create something even bigger. I started working as his producer full time, and he let me build my podcast studio in his condo. We were an amazing team, and our business relationship and friendship grew stronger and stronger. Over the past year, Richard and I have been traveling around the country shooting videos for the Wheels2Walking YouTube channel. 7 Million views later, we realized that we had a lot more to talk about than just wheelchair stuff, but I knew that I couldn't just keep having him as a guest on my show. Today, we're launching our brand new weekly show where we talk about current events, what it's like being full time YouTubers, and dissect our unique friendship / business relationship. If you've been a fan of the ADP, I know you'll really enjoy the Wheels2Walking Podcast. This is a huge step for me to totally change up my platform, but I know this is the right move. The first 6 episodes are live now everywhere you listen to podcasts, but please please please go leave us a review on Apple Podcasts 😁

After 130 episodes, it’s time to finally say goodbye. For a while at least. The ADP has been life changing, and I can’t thank every single one of you enough for subscribing and listening for the past 2.5 years. Luckily, I'm not quitting podcasting, and my new weekly show, The Wheels2Walking Podcast is the next evolution in my podcasting career!
