Behind the Bloom Podcast Ranks 127th on Apple Podcasts
“We are so delighted to share - that we were notified by Podstatus, a leading podcast monitoring service - that our Behind the Bloom Podcast with J Schwanke and RJ Pole is ranking #127 - on Apple Podcasts in the last 30 days,” says J Schwanke. As a point of reference, Apple Podcasts has over 2.8 million podcasts.
“This is so exciting!” J continued. “And I’m so proud of my Co-Host and Producer RJ and his expertise in helping us create this Flower Filled Podcast – I’m equally thankful for his encouragement along the way!”
The Behind the Bloom Podcast has two formats. In the ‘Stand Alone’ format J and RJ pick a topic to discuss - such as Flower Longevity, Flower Arranging, or Holiday Flowers, as examples. The ‘Companion Episode’ format explores actual episodes of J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom, seen on Public Television and Create TV stations nationwide. These podcasts coincide with the release of TV show episodes to YouTube. In December, there will be 3 Companion podcasts and
One Stand Alone podcast (about Christmas Decorating including Flowers). As a result, ALL of Season 1 TV shows will be available on YouTube, by early in 2026.
“Those Life in Bloom episodes are performing wonderfully on YouTube, along with their companion podcasts. Releasing shows to YouTube is a strategy for reaching NEW audiences and demographics,” explains J. “And the response is even better than we hoped. We are so thankful for the Support of CalFlowers, and our friends at Chrysal Flower Food! We are continuing to share the Flower Power!
A visual version of the Behind the Bloom Podcast is available on uBloom.com as well as YouTube.com/@LifeinBloom - as another way to enjoy the podcast, as those websites also feature the actual episodes of the TV Show, too.
