    How Evelien Kong's Transition From TV Producer To Reppin's Podcast Host Highlights The Growing Preference For Podcasts Over Traditional Media

    How Evelien Kong's Transition From TV Producer To Reppin's Podcast Host Highlights The Growing Preference For Podcasts Over Traditional Media

    What do you get when you take a seasoned traditional media professional and put her on a podcasting studio as host? With Reppin, what you get is an engaging show that is unscripted yet so well-produced at the same time. That might sound contradictory, but that’s made possible by its host’s commitment to edit her episodes, not to create soundbites, but to move the story along. That is what sets Evelien Kong uniquely brings to the podcasting world. A lot of times, we see more artificial models getting imposed on podcasting when professional producers step in. But Evelien puts a premium on authentic conversations. She doesn’t do scripts. Instead, she takes a deep dive into what makes her guests tick and draws out lessons from them that she then ties into a theme that underlies all of her episodes. In this episode of The Binge Factor, Evelien tells Tracy how she became the passionate industry podcaster that she is, how she changed the model of how her show works, and the lessons she learned along the journey. Tag along and enjoy what might be one of the best interviews we’ve ever had on the show!
