Shed Geek Podcast

The show about the shed industry, by the people in it

The Shed Geek Podcast has published 500 episodes and counting since its first release in March 2021. Host Shannon Latham, a self-proclaimed "Shed Geek," talks with the people who make the portable building business run: manufacturers, dealers, haulers, rent-to-own companies, suppliers and service providers. Topics run from shed hauling, sales and marketing to rent-to-own, shed history and faith.

Who you'll hear

The guest list is the industry itself. Recent seasons have included shed builders growing into regional companies, suppliers launching new products, marketing specialists, and operators who have been through the hard years and come out the other side. Many of the companies on the Shed Geek partners page have told their own stories on the show, including iFAB, Versabend and two exclusive providers for the Shed Geek Media Network, J Money and Pittsburgh Paints Co. Shannon's invitation is open: "Everyone is welcome, even if we compete."

What the conversations cover

A few threads from the 2026 season:

• Marketing that holds up. Google Business Profile, reviews, websites that bring in leads, ad attribution and follow-up, and how AI search is changing what gets clicked.
• Selling and financing. Rent-to-own and consumer financing side by side, the dealer model question, and how to make pricing and payment options clear to buyers.
• Products and lots. Building beyond storage sheds, from post frame and finished buildings to playsets and hunting blinds, and display lots that show buyers the options.
• Running the business. RTO contracts and portfolio data, leadership and culture, and growing through tighter markets.

STEEL KINGS

The feed also carries STEEL KINGS, a show about the metal building side of the business, with around 50 episodes so far. Hosts Jared Ledford and Eric Olson talk steel buildings, carports, post frame, marketing and the partnerships that help a metal building dealer grow.

Five years in

In August 2025, Shannon marked five years of the show with a solo episode recorded in the Batcave, his studio. He talked about where Shed Geek started, the new office space converted from an old church, the growth of Shed Geek Marketing, the changes in rent-to-own, and the industry events that point to a more organized shed community. The show has grown into more than interviews. It works like a digital magazine where shed professionals can share what they know and help others grow.
