Hi! The org I work with, PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs, produces a teen mental health + well
being podcast called On Our Minds, with two teen hosts and over 40 other student contributors each season — this season's teen hosts or the staff members who lead this process would be interested in participating if it's a fit!
I've been a romance podcaster for years now, and a former choir girl, and I have a ridiculous obsessive crush on Thomas Newman's score for Gillian Armstrong's Little Women. It's such a tease, because many of the fragments in the score only last 10 minutes? But at my past job I listened to that dang thing over and over, and it never failed to transport me somewhere beautiful. I love your newsletter and if I can help you at all, I would be glad to do it!
I am definitely the kind of person who has audio affairs, I looove this framework!
Earworms, obsessions with certain podcasts, sounds from TikTok. But my special pitch is that I love listening to shows that are already over (whether forever or for the season). There's something so intimate about listening to podcasts already, but then going back in time is an additional layer of closeness. This year I binged Mystery Show, Skyline Drive, Constellation Prize, Hang Up, Dead Eyes, and the American Ivy series of Articles of Interest. Again I love that you call it an affair because it does feel like a secret to have a podcast that maybe you are the sole fan of right now because it's out of season or been buried in the podcast graveyard (shoutout to that show, can't wait to listen!) And frankly this "I want to be a unqiue listener" vibe checks out with my beginnings in the space -- I only listened to Serial a year after it was out because I didn't want to be a part of the masses!
In any case would be happy to contribute to this series and am excited to read what other folks will write!

I work in podcasting in Spain. Could I take part? I can tell my romance with both English and Spanish podcasts, as well as American or European podcasts.
