I Made a Podcast!
It took me about four years from the conception of the idea, to finally plucking up the courage to do it - and I’m finally doing it.
It’s called Monogatari: Tales from Japan - a title that I felt was self-explanatory, though pretty cliche if I’m being honest (oh wow, monogatari is the Japanese word for story! How original!). But that’s exactly what the podcast is about, and I decided that being straightforward was probably the best way to go.
I’m equal parts nervous and excited to be announcing this. I’ve never put my myself out in public on this scale. It’s bizarre that someone can just go on Spotify and… listen to my voice now? That’s weird! That’s cringey! I’m a writer, not a podcaster! I have a strange accent!
“But if every other millennial and their grandma has a podcast, then fuck yeah I get to make one too!”…she says, with all the confidence she does not have. I simultaneously hate and am proud of this thing I made (with a lot of help from my ever patient boyfriend), but I still made it, so… here it is.
