How did the idea for the show come about?

Lynz originated the concept for seasons 1 & 2. As they say, Life Happens. Season 3 has a different format and I'm hosting the show Solo Style. I listen obsessively, across all genres, from polished NPR storytelling to indie passion projects recorded in basements. But as a podcaster and producer, I started noticing a huge gap: there wasn’t a space where podcasts themselves were being reviewed with real insight. Not just “here’s what’s trending,” but “here’s what works, what doesn’t, and why.”

What do you hope listeners take from the show?

I hope listeners walk away from Feed Drops feeling energized, informed, and inspired, whether they’re creators or just passionate fans of the medium. For podcasters, I want the show to be a mirror and a mentor. A place where they get honest, constructive feedback that helps them grow, without feeling like they’re being judged. We highlight what’s working, point out where there’s room to level up, and remind creators that every show has the potential to connect deeply when crafted with care.

What's been the biggest challenge for you?

Feed Drops is built on deep listening, thoughtful analysis, and a genuine desire to help creators improve. But doing that right means going beyond surface-level takes. It means committing time to full episodes, digging into structure, editing choices, storytelling flow, and understanding what the podcaster meant to do and what landed.
