Guest bio:

Travis and Josiah have been selling products online since 2014. In 2017, Travis made the switch to begin selling print-on-demand products and Josiah was soon to follow. Over the first few years of POD, they talked about starting a podcast that they wished was available when they began, but drug their feet until eventually creating the Print On Demand Cast in late 2020.

Over the past few years, the show has grown and both Travis and Josiah have learned a lot about podcasting and print on demand. Today with more than 175 episodes, they continue to enjoy sharing all about the Print On Demand industry, as well as the weekly dad joke and whatever other entertaining or silly anecdote will make the other laugh!
