The Interludes Podcast

Welcome to a special edition of the Interludes Podcast with today's episode called, "Restructure, Reinvent, Repeat: The Interludes Journey."

Join Val "The Voice" Johnson as we reflect on our remarkable journey since June 2020, navigating the challenges of a global pandemic, inspiring creatives throughout and continuing the vision for this year, 2023 and beyond. Interludes has not just survived but thrived, becoming a beacon of hope and inspiration.

In 2012, the seeds for the company, Pure Lighthouse Media were planted, and from that grew the concept of Interludes—a podcast inspired by my love for music and film. As we gear up for the debut of our revamped website and logo in January 2024, this restructure is more than a change; it's a reaffirmation of our commitment to storytelling, creativity, and community.

For aspiring podcasters, the newly restructured Interludes platform will be your guide from January 2024 onward. This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter of the Interludes Podcast, where storytelling takes center stage.

How do we define our personal space, the public space called social media and the outer limits of space? EP Michael Wamble and host Valarie Johnson explore the ever-changing definition of space.
