About this podcast: My best frieind Brent and I created this podcast in order to talk about things that most people in our generation wouldn’t talk about. When a person mentions happiness, it usually happens to be a middle aged person going through a mid-life crisis, rambling on about their well being or something along those lines. In my first episode of the Life Without Fear Podcast, we talked about happiness as an overall topic, with stories from our own lives as well as stories from others, and attempted to include some humor in the mix.
My name is Alex Wong and I am a host for the Life Without Fear podcast. I am a Senior in high school, attending both Mountain View High School and Freestyle Academy. As a podcaster, I am interested in exploring topics that people are too afraid to talk about. Here, all ideas are welcomed into the show.
The podcast unit allows us to freely express our ideas and publish them to the world. By creating powerful stories, we are able to make meaningful connections to our audiences. My inspiration for this podcast was the idea that you have so much control over what you can talk about in a podcast. I tried to confine this down to one topic, life, but that is still a very broad topic for many people. The pure creativity and room for expression are what got me interested in making this podcast.
Making this podcast, I really valued being able to explore a new area of expression, and learning how to illustrate a story just using audio. Being a film student, it was challenging being able to convey this kinda of story without visuals, but it was a welcomed challenged that brought my great experience. If you want to try out podcasting, I would highly reccomend it because it opens up new levels of creativity in your mind, making it a lot of fun as well!
