Behind The Scenes | My Thoughts on Building this Podcast & Creating Genuine Conversations

from stranger turned friend 💌 · host Gladys

Hi pals! This is Part 2 of Behind The Scenes, where I share some of my thought process as I build this podcast. If you missed it, here's Part 1 :)  Krishna reached out to me on Instagram and told me he wanted to start a podcast but didn't know where to start. This sparked a 2 hour brainstorming session that I initially didn't feel the need to post but listening back, there were a couple golden nuggets that I couldn't resist putting out. So here you go! Please enjoy Part 2 of Behind The Scenes where you'll listen about my inner thoughts about:  1. What drives this podcast? 2. How I use podcasting as a way to cope with uncertainty and let go of my expectations?  3. Have I ever had an awkward conversation where I wasn't able to talk to the person for more than 10 minutes?  4. Why do we fear awkward conversations?  5. How I think about marketing this podcast?  6. What are the best conversations i've had on this podcast?  7. How can someone improve their "vibes"? 8. How do you transition from small talk to big talk? Thanks Krishna for all the introspective and curious questions! Grab your favorite beverage and cozy up with us :) If you loved and want to support the podcast, I'd appreciate it if you could take a quick 15-20 seconds to leave a review on Apple Podcast and spread the word. It means the world. Come say hi (I answer everything!) : Instagram - strangerturnedfriend Email - [email protected]

Same format, the same humour, and poking more fun at the woke entertainment industry.The ongoing battle between "woke" players, big studios, shady producers, and major corporations trying to buy pop culture influence, has turned into a culture war. On one side, there are people like us who just care about good stories, without the influence of tick-box agendas being forced upon us through films, pop culture, comics, video games, and more. On the other side, bad actors are trying to influence everything we enjoy and consume, while we just want to be entertained. As entertainers, we should be able to escape the daily grind of politics, but unfortunately, we are constantly being pushed with political agendas from the minute we wake up to the minute we go to bed.
