“I really, really miss being with people in this [podcast] community.” (06:27)

“Podcasts just hit me in this way. I had an ache – a literal, physical ache in my body – of wanting to dive in more and be involved in this community.” (10:34)

“I don’t know how I found it, but I did find it. I think it’s just one of those things where you don’t really know you have a voice until you’re already there.” (17:04)

“I love to talk to anyone who’s making a living in podcasting. Ya know what I mean? It can be hard out there, as they say.” (33:49)

“There’s also that insecurity of, ‘Will people subscribe to another newsletter or will people be interested in whatever work I produce next?’ I still don’t know the answer to that question, but I’d feel pretty lame if I didn’t at least try.” (43:47)

“This is what podcasts do. They let you be a fly on the wall on some conversation that maybe you could never have and learn something.” (53:34)

“I keep thinking that I am alive exactly when I want to be alive. This is an incredible time. Lots of it is tumultuous and sorrowful and painful, but it is fascinating and I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be part of the generation that is experiencing this because hopefully good will come.” (56:56)
