In May 2021, I collaborated with my friend Gregarious Narain on the launch of a podcast about the creator economy. We interviewed key players, builders and creators in the space and discussed the technological changes impacting the industry.
Many of the guests were researched and scheduled by me. I handled the run-of-show as well as post-production work (e.g. uploading show notes, sharing videos to and managing all social channels, etc.).
Initially, the “Created Economy” started as a live video show, with a stream broadcasted simultaneously on Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook. Eventually, we transitioned to pre-recorded episodes. In April 2022, all episodes were distributed in audio form and syndicated on Anchor, Spotify, Apple and Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox and other podcast platforms.
