Published on: 4th January, 2019

Yes, “mermaiding” is a thing, and you can hire people who do it! Laura von Holt chats with her new friends, Amanda the Desert Mermaid and Captain Luke, who are also hosts of Merfaire, a new podcast all about mermaiding as a business. They give the inside scoop on being merpeople with an eye for business, the state of the fast-growing mer-industry, and where they think “mermaiding” is headed in the future. Hint: maybe it involves mermaid quidditch! They also share some stats from the first-ever industry survey of professional mermaids, and what they hope to accomplish with their podcast for mermaid professionals. If you want to be a working mermaid when you grow up, this episode is for you!
