Season One of Anything But Clishay has officially wrapped, and hosts Miss Shay and Clif have plenty to reflect on. What started as an exciting new adventure quickly turned into a crash course in podcasting. From realizing the studio only kept 8-to-5 hours, to over-rehearsing their very first episode, they quickly learned that podcasting isn’t just “push record and go.”

Still, there were moments of pure joy. Guests like Dan, Trina, and Katie brought professionalism, honesty, and heart to the show, setting the tone for meaningful conversations. And while Shay may cringe at the thought of her parents hearing certain stories, she embraces the authenticity that has defined their episodes. Clif admits he wanted to scrap Episode One entirely, but credits Ola’s Media for polishing it into something worth sharing.

Beyond the laughs and missteps, both Shay and Clif found pride in building something real together. They’ve navigated creative decisions, supported each other’s strengths, and discovered new layers of partnership. Looking forward, they’re excited to stretch episodes beyond 30 minutes, bring in dream guests, and even add video to the mix.

Season One may be complete, but Season Two promises to be bolder, deeper, and yes — Anything But Clishay.
