I wouldn't call myself an expert in podcasting. However, I have spent the last 2 years listening and learning about podcasting. So far, I have recorded ~20 hrs, published 10 episodes, and even learned to enjoy my voice (sometimes 😂). 🧵🧵🧵Permalink On twitter.com

I first got started back in 2020, right before the pandemic hit. One of my closest friends visited Berlin and said I would be good at it. My wife also supported the idea. To avoid being intimidated, I recorded my first few episodes before listening to anything. 😳Permalink On twitter.com

Podcasting was not a natural fit for me. I prefer reading to learn new things. I rarely watch videos or listen to audiobooks. Like so many others, I hadn't liked my voice. I recorded the same bits over and over. Sometimes it was so frustrating it drove me to tears. 😰On twitter.com

I paused my recording and started listening to podcasts while taking walks instead of commuting (wfh style). These are still some of my favorites: • In Depth by FirstRound • Freakonomics network • Stack Overflow podcast 🤩Permalink On twitter.com

The experience changed after recording my first interview more than a year later. Ben was a great guest, and self-criticism became less important because the focus was on the dialog and learning what he shared. It still took a while longer to find my topic, though. 🤔Permalink On twitter.com

Then the wild growth of bootcamps and online resources for self-teaching software development caught my eye. I had to know more stories from this generation of SDEs! I predict a future tech industry, full of diversity, changed by side-loading unconventional talent. 🏳️🌈Permalink On twitter.com

So my goal over the next year is to record and publish 24 more interviews to inspire and promote the idea that the best teams are built with diversity. Along the way, I will improve as a listener, speaker, and writer (and maybe even learn some marketing skills). 🦄Permalink On twitter.com
