► Tell us about you and your podcast
I have always been a massive fan of podcasts, so I decided to start my own!! I try to invite a guest in every episode. Most of my episodes have been in French but I'm really trying to get more English guests on the show! The podcast mainly targets a gen-z audience but everyone is welcome! The show is inclusive and focuses on social and cultural topics such as Vegetarianism, the LGBT Community, Social Media, and many more x
► Why & how did you start this podcast?
I started my podcast thanks to Anchor. The original goal was to use the show as a fun diary for me and my friends. I have been podcasting since the start of 2021 and recorded the first episode on a whim with one of my friends. The next episode will be the 10th in the series, so it's great to have reached that goal!!
► How'd you find the time and funding to do this podcast?
I made time for it as it is my main project for 2021!! I try to release episodes 3 times a month but as I am a student I consider it as a hobby. I do put a lot of heart into it though :)
► What do you gain from podcasting?
I don't make any money from the podcast and have decided to not use sponsorships. I have met lots of lovely people thanks to it though! Podcasting makes me happy!
► How does your podcasting process look like?
I use an app on my phone for editing and usually find guests through friends or thanks to Social Media! I prefer interviewing in person but some guests I can only interview via zoom.
► How do you market your show?
My listeners mainly listen to the show on Spotify as I always share the link to the episodes on there. Instagram is my main way of finding an audience.
► What advice would you share with aspiring (new) podcasters?
Find a format that makes you happy and talk about topics that you find interesting and that you want to talk about! Podcasting takes a lot of patience as the podcast won't be successful straight away unless you have a big following. My favorite podcasts are Extra Dynamic, Anything Goes, Red Wine Talks, Growing With The Flow and Dada!!
