Podcasts are my favorite medium. As of this writing, I am currently subscribed to 64 podcast feeds. The podcasts I listen to have shaped me into a better person. I firmly believe this. If you are what your friends are, then you certainly are influcenced by the people you invite into your ear holes on a weekly basis.
Podcasts have the unique ability to inspire, inform, and entertain. So I made a podcast that likely fails to do all three.
It all started when Sarah Koenig came to speak at UC Davis. For those of you who don’t know, Sarah Koenig is the Beyoncé of podcasters. Friends of mine were also at event, including my friend Myah Daniels. We were instantly inspired, biked over to her dorm room, and started recording.
Turns out that making a podcast is a little more difficult than we thought. The Sarah Koenig event was almost a year ago. It has taken us the whole span of time to make something coherent and sustainable enough to launch. This is why I couldn’t be more excited to announce that we are launching our podcast today. It’s called “How Do You Feel About That?”, and I think you will like it. The premise is simple: Each week one of us presents a topic, and we ask the other, “How do you feel about that?”.
So do me a favor and give it a listen. Ideally, you also subscribe on iTunes or the podcast player of choice (if you ask me, everyone should download Overcast, but your mileage may vary).
It is a dream of mine to have a podcast. Dreams do come true, especially when all you have to do to acheive them is record yourself for 10 minutes.
