My American Melting – Pod!

Hello Meltingpot Readers,

It should come to no surprise to any of you that I have become a big fan of podcasts. I know I’m late to the game, as podcasts have been around for more than a decade, but hey, better late than never, right?

Unlike many people who fell in love with podcasts after listening to true crime shows like Serial or Criminal, I started listening to podcasts to learn new tricks, like how to use SEO to bring more readers to my blog, or how to find a job overseas. Eventually, I started listening to podcasts to learn new things about identity politics, Black history and the Mixed Race experience. Now, I’m listening to podcasts, about podcasting because, *drumroll please* I’m going to be launching the My American Meltingpot Podcast!

FROM BLOG TO PODCAST
I’ve always approached this blog as a conversation between me and my readers, so with a podcast, I can simply continue that conversation, but you’ll actually be able to hear my voice. So, yes, the My American Meltingpot podcast will still feature a multicultural mix of pop culture, parenting and identity politics, but instead of just hearing my opinion on these topics, you’ll hear from experts in the field, thought leaders and other cool people with diverse opinions. You might even hear from my kids every once in a while as well.

My American Meltingpot podcast
Where it all started. The #PodcastMovement conference this summer. I didn’t even have a podcast, but I faked it and now I’m going to make it,
Our launch date for the first episode is scheduled for Friday, November 23. Yes, that’s the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, that’s Black Friday. Yes, that means I only have six weeks to pull this thing together. Yes, I’m mildly freaking out, but I’m also so excited to embrace this new form of audio storytelling. I really think this will only bring us closer together, dear readers (soon to be listeners). And FYI, the blog will still be here, with fresh new content three days a week.

Please stay tuned for regular podcast updates as I count down to launch day. I may need your input and advice. And of course, I’d be thrilled if you helped me spread the word about the new show.

Thank you in advance, dear readers. I do so appreciate you.

Peace!
