Episode 082. “When I do an interview, I try to throw out any sort of expectations of the interview that I want to have, and really try to meet someone where they are in that moment, in that second.“ ~Kate Sullivan
A pandemic can make you question all sorts of life and podcasting choices. Emmy Award-winning journalist Kate Sullivan offers up a solution: return to your why.
Why do you care?
As host of To Dine For, a multimedia celebration of ingenuity, hard work, and achievement told over food, Kate explores the universal motivator with her guests. Why do they do what they do? Why is this restaurant the location for the conversation (each guest gets to choose the place in which the interview takes place)? In crafting each episode, Kate’s reminded of her why: to tell inspiring stories over food.
Although To Dine For began as an idea for a tv series - now streaming via PBS and Amazon Prime - “the podcast started as my way of pivoting in the pandemic, of trying to create and continue to do what I love,” Kates says.
Peace, love & podcasting,
Andrea Klunder, Your Podcast Boss

081: How to create a safe space to exchange ideas with Cassandre Dunbar, Be Well, Sis
Episode 081. “This podcast, in a way, has become my self-care. I didn’t even realize that I would be, but it absolutely has been the thing that makes me happiest... just for me. “ ~Cassandre Dunbar
Here’s a podcast truth that may feel a bit uncomfortable: the personal has never been more political. Allow my paraphrasing of the popular concept to seep under your protective layers for a moment while I explain. Podcasters, content creators, cultural influencers: we all have a responsibility to speak and respond to what’s happening in the world around us. To show up for ourselves and our communities an authentic manner.
Especially now. Even if our podcasts have nothing to do with social justice or politics.
Why wouldn’t we want to create content that improves society and adds value to the lives of our listeners! Honestly? Because doing so might be risky. Doing so might require going against the forces that have shaped our POV (family, community, followers). Doing so might require confronting an old nemesis: impostor syndrome.
Cassandre Dunbar of Be Well, Sis is tackling many of those personal and political taboos with her approach to the self-care podcast - a format that can politely be described as lacking in diversity. Cassandre was driven to provide information with social context, giving women of color tools to counteract the effects of sustained trauma within their communities.
She views self-care as both a personal and community-based responsibility, individual therapy as a tool for addressing our country’s racial reckoning. “We can use it to look in the mirror and see all the things that have been done - that are being done - that are harmful, not only for the marginalized communities but, really, for the greater community too.”
That’s how to use your platform socially, responsibly.
Peace, love & podcasting,
Andrea Klunder, Your Podcast Boss

083: Friction for a better podcast featuring Pam Covarrubias, Cafe con Pam
Episode 083. "Friction allows for a lot of growth if you're open to it." ~Pam Covarrubias
Are you using your podcast for personal growth? Are you using it to help your listeners grow?
This episode is part of our self-care for podcasters series, which is a companion to our “not your typical self-care” series over on The Creative Impostor. I recently had podcaster, conscious productivity coach, EFT practitioner, and founder of the PowerSisters Method, Pam Covarrubias on episode 125.
And when I asker her how PowerSisters get matched, she brought up the idea of friction as a component to success and growth.
At first internally I was like — EEK! No no no — when we build community we want to surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who align with our values and I started to get that old school day anxiety of being partnered up for a project with someone I didn’t like or didn’t know...
But then...
It really got me thinking about how friction applies to podcasting. And so Pam inspired this WHOLE episode of Podcast Envy.
On one hand, I think podcasting is an EXCELLENT tool for personal growth for the show host, the listeners, and even guests.
On the other hand, we have a huge “silo” problem in podcasting.
Podcast hosts bring guests on the show who think like them to talk about topics they agree on from similar points of view and then share that conversation with an audience of people who also nod their heads in agreement and take notes.
But where then, is the growth in that?
Still with me? Listen to the episode to get my 5 tips for inserting more functional friction into your process to help you make a better podcast.
Peace, love & podcasting,
Andrea Klunder, Your Podcast Boss
