If We Were a Plumber, We Would Start A Podcast and It Would Look Like this…..
Podcasts aren’t just for influencers or media companies. They’re one of the smartest tools for anyone or any business to build authority, stay top of mind, and generate new business opportunities and leads. That’s why we launched our new series: “If We Were a ___, This Is the Podcast We’d Start.”
We’re kicking it off with a profession that keeps our homes running smoothly but rarely gets the spotlight: plumbing.
Why a Plumber Should Start a Podcast
Think about it — every homeowner has plumbing questions. Every builder has a story about what went wrong behind the walls. Every inspector has seen water damage nightmares that could’ve been avoided.
A podcast gives plumbers the chance to:
Build trust with homeowners before they ever pick up the phone.
Position themselves as local experts and problem-solvers.
Create content that gets shared for being both entertaining and educational.
And here’s the best part: plumbing stories are naturally engaging. They’re messy, funny, sometimes horrifying, and always relatable.
What We Would Call the Podcast
Every good podcast starts with a name that sticks. Here are a few favorites we brainstormed:
The Pipe Line – Plumbing stories, insider tips, and conversations that flow.
The Drip – Behind-the-scenes advice straight from a real plumber.
What Happens When You Flush? – Busted myths and laughs from the field.
The Water Works – Chats about leaks, life, and everything in between.
Pipe Dreams – How to build a business as a plumber in the U.S.
The Podcast Description
“Pulling back the curtain on a career as a plumber and what you as a homeowner can do to keep your pipes, plumbing, and home infrastructure free of leaks and bursts. From wild stories on the job to practical tips anyone can use, this podcast blends entertainment with education — and guarantees that when listeners need a plumber, you’ll be the first name they think of.”
Sponsors We Would Go After
Monetizing a podcast isn’t as complicated as it sounds. It is easy to get sponsors and ad dollars for your podcast, especially if you have the team at Hype Boss or PodPlus Studios behind you. For our Plumbing podcast, we would approach plumbing brands, hardware stores, and home improvement companies would line up to back a show like this. Think:
Delta Faucets
Ace Hardware
Plumbing Supply Co.
Creative crossovers like SoFi for home improvement financing
