I have to admit that I still haven’t gotten into podcasts. I see them everywhere. Everyone and their dog now has a podcast. And I’m sure I’m missing something. Sometimes I’m a little late to the party. In five or so years I’m going to be all over podcasts, obsessed with them going why didn’t I know about podcasts before now??
I think if I had a podcast and could actually have an individual in front of me these are the things I’d want to know:
-if you don’t reach for coffee in the morning, first of all what is wrong with you, but second, what do you reach for? And if it is coffee, how do you take it?
-do you have houseplants? Do you love them, are you attached to them? If one of them died, would you be sad?
-what are you actually doing on a Saturday night? If it’s just four hours of scrolling on your phone, I wanna know. (So I can feel normal)
-do you cook supper most nights? If so, what do you make and if not, what do you eat?
Then maybe I’d delve in to some deeper questions about their past and their life. Before I was hired to work for our local newspaper, I began by submitting my own original writing, which consisted of me “interviewing” then writing about people’s lives.
Looking back now I can’t believe they trusted me to tell their story. What a thrill. I’d love to do that again someday.
