Roy’s naturally inquisitive nature creates intriguing interviews where experts share incredible content designed to help you really move the needle in your business.

districtbliss · Mar 2026

Roy is one of the true professionals of the podcasting world. It is always a great conversation when we get together, and today was no different. I have had the pleasure of having him on two of my shows as a guest, and this was my first time appearing on one of his. It was an honor to be a guest on the Podfather podcast with Roy and we had a riveting conversation about the "rules" of podcasting and where the industry is heading. Being on Roy's show is like having a scotch with an old friend. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Rory Paquette · Nov 2025

I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by Mr. Roy Coughlan on The PodFather, and I can confidently say it was one of the most exceptional podcast experiences I’ve ever had. He is a true professional, thoughtful, prepared, and incredibly skilled at creating a warm and welcoming space for authentic conversation. His podcast is not only successful, but also purposeful, insightful, and a true reflection of his class and character. He made me feel completely at ease, and our dialogue flowed effortlessly. If you have the opportunity to be a guest on his show, take it! A genuinely outstanding host and an even better human being. Thank you Roy 💖
