S5.14 - Star Point's Justin on Making a Go Podcast | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China.

Travis speaks with Justin, host of the Star Point podcast, about what inspired him to create an audio-first Go show and how he has sustained it for more than 100 episodes. Justin discusses his production process, the importance of consistency, the role of listener mail and Discord in shaping the show, and how he balances structure with a casual, lightly edited style. They also explore the value of Go podcasts, community participation, learning from stronger players, and helping people appreciate the game beyond rank and competition.
