I’ve blogged about my love of podcasts before, in fact I’ve shared a few of my favorite podcasts with y’all a few times. Not only are they a great source of entertainment, but the ones that I listen to are actually quite informative. There’s a nice balance of discussion about entertainment, dating, and current events so it’s like the best of both worlds.
I find myself listening to podcasts while I work out and I’m sure that I confuse the other people who are working out at the gym with me or the drivers who see me jogging around my neighborhood. I’m either nodding in agreement or laughing way too loud at some of these more light-hearted shows. I should probably be embarrassed, but I’m not. *Kanye shrug*
I guess that’s why I didn’t bat an eyelash before asking one of my friends if his podcast meetup this past weekend was blogger friendly. I knew that it would be a chance for me to meet up with a lot of the local podcasters, and it was a great networking opportunity. I knew a few of the podcasters who were there, and even knew one of the podcasters personally. Shayla and Cody from ‘Why Was This Ever Cool‘ were there as well as The Roommates. I also got to meet the hosts behind ‘Egos and Opinions‘, ‘Room for Relations‘, ‘Live Woke Podcast‘ and ‘Defmatic Podcast‘ and a few others too! It was a great vibe and I got to pick their brains about the inner workings of a podcast as well as share what goes on in this blogging world. I dipped my toe in the podcasting world some years back and it lasted all of 2 months before I realized that it wasn’t for me, but after Saturday’s event I might have to rethink that.
After the mixer I headed over to Darwin’s Pub for a live taping of another podcast ‘Between Us Girls‘ and had so much fun! I’ve been to a few live tapings for podcasts before, but this one was more intimate and I loved that the crowd got to interact too. Those ladies were beyond hilarious and made it easy to talk about light-hearted and sensitive topics. Saturday was their first live show, but I don’t think it’ll be their last…at least I hope not.
I’ve already added these podcasts to my line-up and I look forward to going through their archives in these upcoming weeks. If y’all are looking for a new podcast to get into I recommend you check them out, you won’t be disappointed!
