THE TODDCAST · WITH TODD MICHAEL
The ToddCast is a new podcast idea from Todd Michael, with Todd to Todd as its home. It starts with one familiar first name and opens the door to very different careers, creative paths and conversations. Here is how the collection, the show concept and its playful side fit together.
A shared name is the starting point, not the whole story
The ToddCast starts with a deliberately simple premise: what could a shared first name reveal about very different lives? Todd to Todd brings together people associated with music, film, television, sport, public service, business and creative work. The point is to give readers an introduction worth following. A name catches the eye; the work, history and sources give a person’s profile its substance.
The Todd Index is the place to begin. Each profile connects a real person with a clear description of their career, an individual portrait and references. The collection includes20 people whose names were measured in the project’s search-interest research, plus the host, Todd Michael. His card is labeled as the host rather than assigned an invented score.
Meet the Todd behind the microphones
Todd Michael publishes as Todd Michael and Todd . His existing media home brings together books, podcasting, games and projects he builds in public. Systems, imagined, automation, ecommerce, ownership and reinvention are recurring interests in that work. The ToddCast takes the curiosity about people into a new show concept centered on the name Todd.
There is already a podcast archive to explore. The Todd Michael Podcast includes existing conversations available through its official site, Spotify and YouTube. Those earlier episodes help listeners get to know the host. They are presented as an archive, and are separate from any future ToddCast guest announcement. The new show remains in development; confirmed guests and actual episodes will be announced when they exist.
A dream lineup is a personal invitation to be curious
The site lets readers choose a personal three-person dream lineup. Pick profiles that catch your attention, save the selection on your own device or copy a lineup link. A saved pick is a way to express interest, not a public vote count and not a booking. Historical profiles are treated as remembrances rather than prospective guest invitations.
If you are unsure where to begin, the discovery button opens a profile from the collection. Conversation starters offer another route: consider the questions you might ask a creator, a coach or a musician about their work. Those prompts are original editorial material, not quotations or claims about an interview that has already happened.
Oddly Toddly brings the playful part
Oddly Toddly is the project’s lighter corner. It brings together original name games, mood choices and a rotating dose of Todd-themed lines. Its job is to make exploration enjoyable while keeping the distinction between a joke, a sourced fact and an imagined scene clear. The same spirit appears in the In Todd We Trust seal, the project’s own official brand mark.
The illustrated studio gallery imagines conversations we would enjoy seeing. Every scene carries an imagined label, and the artwork is not evidence of a real meeting, endorsement or confirmed appearance. Genuine individual portraits have their own source and license credits. Keeping those labels visible makes room for the fun without confusing a creative concept with the historical record.
A journal built around sources and useful connections
The journal is designed for original profiles, career explainers and owned project updates. Relevant source links let readers follow the work beyond a short introduction. Where a verified official site or organizational profile is available, it is included. Where it is not, the field stays blank. The same restraint applies to search data: relative interest is explained as an index, not a count of searches, clicks or people.
The journal will keep returning to the people behind the names: what they made, how their careers developed, and where a reader can explore the work directly. Start with a familiar Todd, follow one you have never read about, or build a personal lineup around a field that interests you. New stories and real guest announcements will have their own place as the show develops. Curiosity is the invitation; the sources give it somewhere to go.
