How a Funeral Museum Used Podcasting to Escape the “Weird” Bucket

Free resources from Speke Podcasting: https://www.spekepodcasting.com/freeresources Work with us: https://www.spekepodcasting.com/pricing-plans Freddy uses the National Museum of Funeral History to prove what niche podcasting can really do. He tells the story of Genevieve walking into a role where the museum was treated like a quirky oddity, shoved next to the Beer Can Museum in visitor guides, and ignored by people who lived down the street. You hear how a show gave them control of their story in a death‑denying culture, shifting their perception from “macabre sideshow” to serious institution about how we live, remember, and grieve. Freddy breaks down the evolution from exhibit‑driven episodes to a broader, human podcast that drew guests in instead of chasing them, and why being a guest first made Genevieve a better host. By the end, you won’t be able to say your topic is too niche, too weird, or too boring with a straight face.
