This past week I recorded the first episode of a podcast I'm hoping to launch next week. In my head I'm calling it "Danica Lo & Company" with the podcast logo art reading: "Danica Lo & Co.". I love listening to long-winded conversational podcasts between people who know each other well and I had this thought a few weeks ago that (1) I miss my friends, (2) My friends are spread all over the world and most of them are in home lockdown right now and (3) My friends are pretty spectacular human beings, some of the best thinkers and voices in their industries who may fly just under the radar (we're Gen X, flying under the radar is our thing, I guess), and I think the world needs to hear their ideas. So yeah, I recorded one episode this week, I think it went well, it took a heckuva long time to edit (much harder to edit a podcast than it is to edit a video for YouTube, surprisingly!), and now I can't wait to schedule more conversations. It's a great excuse to talk to my friends longform, 90s-phone-call style. I'm really loving it, maybe podcasting will be my new hobby.
