Project: Starting a Local Podcast

We began a small project together: creating a podcast from scratch.

Purpose / Mission / Goal

The goal was to explore storytelling and conversation, learning how to craft a show while connecting with our local community. We wanted to experiment, have fun, and give listeners a peek into the interests and personalities of people around us.

What We Did

  • Episode 1: Focused on ourselves, sharing who we are, what drives us, and what makes us curious.
  • Episode 2: The team interviewed a locally famous person—a lead member of a heavy metal band known in the area. This allowed us to explore a topic we were interested in while practicing interviewing and production skills.

Takeaways / Reflections

  • Podcasting is a hands-on way to learn communication, research, and storytelling.
  • Interviewing others gives perspective on local culture and unique life experiences.
  • Starting small lets us experiment without pressure, and we can see what resonates with listeners.

Invitation

Thinking about starting your own small project? You don’t need a big team or budget—just curiosity and a willingness to try. Every episode, interview, or experiment is a step forward.

  • I think I want to start a small project but don’t know what

    Welcome. These are the places where ideas meet life — and where something real begins. This space isn’t a résumé. It’s not a portfolio of polished achievements. It’s a living trail of small projects — creative, messy, faithful, hopeful — all rooted in community care and presence. Some of these projects are finished. Some are…

  • We join in a choir after an introduction

    We tried Sing With Me with someone who came with his new lover. They’d decided—quietly, deliberately—that their bond would be built around doing things: arts spaces, movement, singing, being present where something is happening rather than talking about it later. One night, at a singing gathering, he didn’t wait for an invitation. He simply walked…
