In the spirit of Halloween, we have polled our team for their best (worst) podcast-themed costumes. The Trick? No podcasting advice or strategy this week. This is just a Treat.

Radiolab Costume

Grab an audio recorder, headphones, and a lab coat. Boom! You’re Jad.

99% Invisible Costume

Cover yourself in a black blanket with one tiny eye-hole. Even Roman Mars won’t be able to see you!

S-Town Costume

Make like an Horologist dress up as a large clock.

This American Life costume

Does anything say USA like a “Make American Great Again” hat matched with a “Not My President” t-shirt OR a Pussy Hat paired with a Lock Her Up button?

Pod Save America Costume

Become a leader of the podcasting nation and dress up as George Washington with Ear Buds.

Start-up Costume

Dress as Alex Blumberg and create a documentary about your Trick or Treating experience.

Song Exploder Costume

Song Exploder: Choose “Trick” instead of “Treat” and smash a guitar on every doorstep.

Planet Money Costume

Planet Money — dress as a globe covered in $$$ (Globalists only…)

Entrepreneur On Fire Costume

Entrepreneur on Fire this wig + a hoodie and jeans. Looks like this startup has a high burn rate…

The Moth Costume

The Moth — attracted to porch lights, dress up as a Moth that tells intimate, personal stories at every door.

Missing Richard Simmons Costume

Missing Richard Simmons — NO one will be missing you when you dress up Richard Simmons with a magnifying glass.

BONUS Podcast Costume Concepts

Tim Ferriss Show — Create a plan to batch and optimize your Trick or Treating into the most productive and efficient night possible, focusing on high-volume candy households and ketogenic candy options.

The Gary Vee Audio Experience — Follow around groups of kids and shame them for not working hard enough, not getting up early and staying out late enough, and NOT HUSTLING ALL THE TIME!!!

Hardcore History — Spend 3 hours at every door telling people about the surprisingly compelling history of Halloween.

Everyday Bravery. Go trick or treating completely nude.
