Ever wonder who’s behind the scenes making your favorite podcasts actually happen? Meet Brian H. Waters — producer for The Ringer and Spotify, with over 1,200 podcast episodes under his belt. From cutting his teeth on NFL sidelines to now producing shows like The Masked Man Show, The Ringer Wrestling Worldwide, and The Press Box, Brian breaks down what really goes into world-class podcast production.
In this episode, we talk about how he got his start, what makes a great producer, and why trust is everything when you’re working with high-profile talent. We dive into what it takes to create scroll-stopping clips, how Brian balances multiple shows (while being a full-time dad), and why building chemistry off-mic matters just as much as what happens on it.
Plus, we geek out over WrestleMania 41 season — from John Cena’s heel turn to the Naomi/Jade/Bianca storyline to what it’s like preparing interviews with WWE superstars. Whether you’re into podcasting, wrestling, or just love hearing how top-tier creatives work behind the scenes, this one’s a banger.
And yes, we absolutely asked him who should be in the WWE Hall of Fame. I know my pick!
