‘Footprints: The People Podcast’
My podcast Footprints was my lockdown-podcast, it ran for three seasons during 2021-2022.
Each episode had a new guest, ranging in age, ethnicity and interests. My goal was to collect and interview a dynamic range of passions, however specific.
‘Doctor Who’, ‘Laughter’, ‘Spiritual Activism’, ‘African Creatives in London’, ‘Authenticity’ and yes even. ‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race‘.
The guests would also provide two of their favourite songs at the time, one song upbeat, and the other the song you can’t stop listening to.
This was one of my favourite parts in the podcast, as I’m a big lover of music and would gladly sit and listen to these tracks on repeat. I always loved thinking, ‘so they love this song? let me hear why’.
If you listen on Spotify from the link above (or below), the tracks are intertwinned in the podcast, almost like a radio program.
Incorporated in each episode is also a moment of reflection where each guest looks on one of their best days, and a moment of stress when their subject to a short quiz.
In truth, it’s one of the projects I’ve made that I’m most proud of, below is a quote from my tale to tale post (2021):
In a time of isolation and global sadness, I’ve made this podcast to ignite a fire in my guests, to only think of the good.
We launch Thursday 22/04/2021, 6pm GMT with Kristin talking about Female Voices.
Footprints is a passion project of mine, to give others the platform to share theirs. We’re listening to others and seeing what it’s like to live in their shoes
Happy listening, I hope you like it!
ps. I made all of this from scratch from my own PC, the music, the editing, all of it.
I’ll do a post one day about that process. Credit to my friend David for providing the silly voiceovers.
