The Pickup Meeting officially turns ONE! 🎉

Kevin and Brody are celebrating a full year behind the microphones with a special “just us” episode—looking back at how two friends’ phone conversations somehow became an actual podcast people actually listen to.

They revisit the guests and stories that stuck with them, the lessons that have made their way into their work in higher education, and the moments that definitely did not go according to plan. From the unforgettable “cactus in the closet” lesson to Kevin literally disappearing from an episode, year one has delivered plenty of wisdom, technical chaos, questionable phrases, and laughs.

They also talk about the people who helped make the show possible, why hearing from listeners still feels surreal, and how The Pickup Meeting has strengthened their friendship while creating conversations they hope will stick around for years to come.

It’s part anniversary celebration, part behind-the-scenes look, and part love letter to the guests and listeners who made year one worth showing up for.

Here’s to Year Two. Same friendship. More great conversations. Probably more technical difficulties. 🎧
