Conversations about the ordinary and extraordinary, from what it's like to drive a garbage truck to what it's like to be a rocket scientist. It's a podcast about all kinds of jobs and the unique people that perform them. It's a "jobcast," if you will.

    Episode 15: Start-up Cofounder

    We’re talking about a fintech start-up today. I didn’t know what that was before, but I do now, at least in basic terms. I hear about how this start-up got off the ground, plans for the one-stop education/brokerage platform, how start-ups get initial investments, the benefits of start-up competitions, and so much more!!!

    Episode 14: Podcast Producer

    It’s time to learn how to produce a podcast!!! A professional podcast producer gives me some insights on editing, choosing equipment, steering clear of bad editing tips found online, and growing/advertising a podcast. Hopefully my editing for this episode was better than usual!

    Episode 13: Couples Therapist

    Time for a therapy session! Couples Therapist Paige teaches me so much about her job, and a good bit about the Gottman Method. I could never be a therapist, so it’s awesome that people can turn to someone like Paige when they have problems.

    Episode 12: Solo Podcast

    It’s a special episode today. I’m going solo! I talk about my journey in podcasting so far, including how I got started and the difficult parts. This solo podcast was sooo much harder to record than an interview-style podcast.

    Episode 11: YouTube Subtitler (Korean/English)

    Today we’re talking about the difficulties of translating languages for YouTube subtitles. I can only handle English, but my guest can handle English and Korean like a champ! Glad she was forgiving when I was late for recording the episode.

    Episode 9: Poop Scooper

    I get the scoop on, well, scooping poop! Glad people are out there keeping yards clean. Pups deserve a relaxing place to do their business.
