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.

  • We started a Rock Band

    What we did It started as basically just me and him. Two people with a big idea and not much else: “Let’s start a rock band.” A community centre came alongside us in a huge way. Their workers hired a musician to guide us, gave us space to rehearse, and even organised a radio spot…

  • We were given Free Shoes For the Poor and we gave them out

    A small project that moves good, fitting shoes into the lives of people who need them—so they can walk without pain, shame, or fear of wearing out what they already have.

  • We shared free bread

    A small, steady project that moves basic white bread and rolls into homes that need them—no forms, no proving, just food given with respect.

  • Projects in Motion- Explainer of Small Projects

    This is where the work gathers—projects that began because something needed care. Some are finished. Some are still becoming. All of them matter to someone.
