The Fence Podcast did not start with its current name. This is the honest history of how one contractor’s idea grew into a multi-format media property — and why it ultimately refocused entirely on fencing.
2023 — My Fence Life
The story began in 2023 with My Fence Life, a show Brian T. Frederiksen launched to give fence contractors a voice. The premise was simple: create a place where working contractors could tell their real stories, share hard-won lessons and be taken seriously.
2024 — The Trade Industry Podcast
In 2024 the show broadened its scope and rebranded as The Trade Industry Podcast, opening the conversation to the wider trades. This phase expanded the audience and proved there was real demand for authentic, contractor-first media — but it also revealed that the deepest connection was with the fencing community specifically.
2026 — The Fence Podcast
In 2026 the project came full circle and relaunched as The Fence Podcast — 100% focused on fencing, gates and access control. The rebrand established it as the definitive home for the industry’s conversations and the flagship property of Fence Media Group, under the banner “The Voice of the Fencing Industry.”
What it is today
The Fence Podcast is now a multi-platform media operation — not just an audio show. It spans full-length video interviews, short-form clips, live broadcasts and on-site event coverage, plus written content. Hosted by Brian T. Frederiksen with co-host Sasha Stojanov, it interviews contractors, manufacturers and innovators from across the industry.
Why the history matters
The evolution from My Fence Life to The Trade Industry Podcast to The Fence Podcast is not just a name change — it reflects a deliberate decision to go all-in on serving one industry deeply rather than many industries shallowly.
