The Polymath PolyCast: Unlocking Polymathic Potential

Welcome to the PolyCast, the show for the intellectually curious, the creatively diverse, and the endlessly innovative. I am your host Dustin Miller PolyInnovator, and this is the audio arm of my vast content ecosystem.

Now in Season 6!

-----

Join me on a journey to becoming a polymath, and on the way we can explore the world of polymathy.

Where we explore the limitless potential of generalists, polymaths, multipotentialites, and more. The overarching theme is _polymathy_, the art of mastering multiple disciplines, and it serves as our compass as we navigate a vast sea of knowledge.

I offer you two captivating series formats:

Multidisciplinary Interviews:

Step into the minds of extraordinary individuals who are true polymaths, generalists, or masters of diverse skills. Our in-depth interviews uncover the secrets of their success, their unique approaches to learning, and the insights they've gained through their polymathic journeys.

Fireside MicroPolyCast:

Imagine sitting by a crackling fire, engaged in a stimulating conversation with your host. The Fireside MicroPolyCast episodes are like those cherished fireside chats, where I share insightful bursts of ideas, rants, explanations, news about PolyInnovator and short, thought-provoking discussions. It's the perfect quick dive into the world of polymathy.

-----

On the PolyCast, I believe that the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Each episode is a unique exploration of interdisciplinary thinking, innovation, and the polymathic spirit. Join me and unleash your own polymathic potential.


Discover the power of versatile thinking, the beauty of connecting diverse dots, and the joy of learning across disciplines. Dive into The Polymath PolyCast today and embrace your inner polymath.

Changing the PolyCast, Podcast Movement Conference, and Moving the PolyInContent Series?? #FiresideMicroPolyCast

Changing the PolyCast, Podcast Movement Conference, and Moving the PolyInContent Series?? #FiresideMicroPolyCast
I'm actually making some changes to my #Polycast / #Podcast after attending Podcast Movement While I certainly believe that you don't have to necessarily have a niche to be successful, your array of "sub-niches" DOES need to have an organized theme/meta-niche. For example I wanted to start creating my Gaming content arm for PolyInnovator, and I always believed in having everything funnel onto the main YT channel. However the plans I had for gaming content were vast on their own, very generalist in nature, and so by creating a separate channel. I was not going against my philosophy. Rather just giving viewers a better experience to enjoy that type of content. Even if it too is pretty vast like the main channel. I realized that perhaps #thePolymathPolyCast has something similar to do as well. I do (well was doing) a weekly #PolyInContent episode, which is my "Main" series above all else. However due to me moving from Notion, that had stalled a bit. I digress. That series was more about me making a blog post, video, and podcast all in one for each episode. Although when it shows up in the PolyCast feed it looks out of place, despite me explaining it everywhere. I may do random medium length episodes, but they are literally just longer versions of my "Fireside Micro-PolyCast". Meaning I had three things going on, the fireside micro stuff, the medium length polyincontent, and the interviews. While that is okay in my opinion, it seems that it may be wiser to move the PolyinContent into its own stream using a new host (so I can try out someone new too). While just rebranding any short to medium length to ALL be #Firesidemicropolycast episodes, and all long form are interviews anyway.
