🎵Twin…where have you been? 🎶 …it’s Feature Friday!✨
“ The goal is to build and empower those who may find it difficult to understand the message when it comes from celebrity podcast that they can't directly identify with. And, we have fun doing it.”
Fun, relatable and empowered thats what you get when you listen to Hot Seed Podcast…and hosted by this week’s feature Shawn Hines. Shawn and co hosts Earl and Dave are three friends with career backgrounds but a passion for candid conversation and creating relationships. They took a bond of nearly 15 years of personal friendship and interaction over XBOX Live Chat to the podcast platform where they discuss a litany of topics from gaming/entertainment, sports, the latest news stories, interviewing a slate of different guest, all while providing our unfiltered prospective.
That’s fun, I think if anything if your a consistent reader of this newsletter, you see time and time again how podcasting ideas and it’s inception for a lot of people can come from pretty much anywhere. To go from XBOX to podcasting, I’ve never heard that before but. it makes. a lot of sense. They already had the report and the subject manner so…why not! 💁🏾♀️ They found something in common and decided to create it in the most authentic way.
[The podcast] speaks to originality and the need to be true to who you are. Nothing is scripted and created for specific likes.
👀 okay…gotta love. a good graphic and what better graphic than of themselves✨
Shawn and his buddies have been at this for about three years now for him podcasting was a way to build through conversations that connects to others who are looking for inspiration, motivation and therapy. He’s right, podcasting is such a great connector. I think that’s the case because it gives people access to a media that reaches the masses in a way we haven’t had such access before. We can create our own messages, our own platforms and collaborate how we choose to.
So if your going to check out the Hot Seed podcast…take his suggestion and start with one of hs favorites: Episode 64 "All Black Everything Vol 2" where they interviewed Dr. Chike Akua a renowned speaker and teacher. He was also the 8th grade language arts teacher for one of their host. The episode gave so much insight into how we can all help form the positive minds of black youth.
So…with over 100 episodes under their belt and a bevy of various topics…what are some things Shawn has learned along the way?
Less is more. Be consistent. Appreciate any and all feedback. To NOT forget the beauty of the audio format and it's importance to maintaining the art.
Podcasting. is an art indeed…and we love the importance of really pouring into your audio, after all it’s the best representation of your podcast.
Consistency is key…remember how I say that all the time. lol It’s not just me, see. 😄
So do the work, care and take time. to really create your podcast because it is a work of art. And if The Hot Seed Pod shows us anything, you never know how close your podcast subject matter is to you, heck or even your future co-hosts. Just look around…and make a wise decision.
