Two Honolulu Entrepreneurs Launch Podcast to Help Experts Find Their Voice on Air
There is something fitting about a podcast on how to host a podcast coming out of Honolulu. Hawaii has always been a place where people learn to read the currents, find their rhythm, and move with confidence. That spirit is exactly what Brett K Moore and Mike Partners are channeling with their new show, “How To Host a Podcast,” now available on Apple Podcasts.
Moore and Partners are not outsiders looking in on the podcasting world. They are cofounders of PodcastNetwork.org, and they have spent years helping people figure out how to show up behind the microphone. This show is the natural next step: a practical, episode-by-episode breakdown of what it actually takes to hold a conversation that people want to listen to.
The podcast is aimed squarely at experts and entrepreneurs who know their subject inside and out but freeze up the moment they are on air. That is a more common problem than most people admit. You can be brilliant in a boardroom and still come across as flat and forgettable in a podcast interview. Moore and Partners set out to fix that.
What makes the show stand out is how it does the teaching. Rather than offering abstract tips, each episode takes a close look at well-known hosts and media figures and breaks down exactly how they work. Listeners get to study how Tim Ferriss and Ezra Klein use questions to decode complex mental models, how Ira Glass and Phoebe Judge build emotional pull through storytelling, and how Ronan Farrow and Anderson Cooper zero in on the contradiction at the heart of any story. Season four alone covers eight distinct hosting styles, from the investigative approach of Kara Swisher and Megyn Kelly to the urgent problem-solving energy that Alex Hormozi and Mel Robbins bring to every episode they appear in.
The format is deliberate. Episodes run about seven minutes, which is short enough to fit into a morning routine but packed enough to leave you with something to work on. Early listeners have noticed. One reviewer on Apple Podcasts described it as “fantastic information” and said the show is the kind you want to listen to and then immediately apply.
For Moore and Partners, this launch is personal. Both grew up in Honolulu, and building something that reflects the entrepreneurial energy of their home community matters to them. They know that people in Hawaii have stories worth telling and expertise worth sharing. Sometimes they just need someone to show them how.
The show is already into its fourth season, which means there is a substantial back catalog waiting for new listeners to dig into. Whether you are preparing for your first guest appearance, thinking about launching your own show, or just trying to hold a room better, “How To Host a Podcast” gives you real examples to learn from and a clear sense of what good hosting actually looks like in practice.
