For a long time, I had planned to launch my own podcast, but for one clear reason, it never happened—I knew that my obsession with every single detail would make the process difficult. However, one day, I decided to just go for it. I thought that before starting a daily routine, my podcast had to be ready, and it had to be so successful that I would never be able to abandon it. But of course, I didn’t—and still don’t—want to create an ordinary podcast.
I wanted to bring in my experiences in Iran and the days I’ve spent from Tehran to Turin into my podcast. At the same time, I really wanted to talk about my favorite movies and books. For now, I’ve decided to use the hardware I currently have to make this project happen. As you can see on this website, my podcast is also mentioned in the Projects section. In a way, I am both the employee and the employer of this project—a job much harder than it might seem.
Producing a podcast isn’t just about placing a microphone in front of a well-spoken person with a nice voice and reading a great script. The standards of podcasting were far more demanding than I expected. At least until now, I used to think that good sound quality was all that mattered. But meeting strict standards to make sure everything turned out right was incredibly important. I’m happy that I learned so much along the way.
By this time next week, my podcast and my voice might be playing in cars stuck in Tehran’s traffic. That thought alone gives me such a great feeling. In my future posts, I’ll share more about this podcast with you.
