Celebrate and recap fifty episodes of Podcasting Is the New Kink!

50 episodes! WTF?! Most podcasts don't even make it past 3, so this is a reason to celebrate! In this episode I talk about why I started this podcast in the first place and how it has progressed over the last two years. I also recap all 49 episodes so far.

This podcast started off as a resource for podcasting. I wanted to give you insight and tips. And, I did that. The first season was all about Podcasting 101. I talked about everything you needed to start a podcast: topics, equipment, mindset, etc. I even shared the steps to start a podcast for free!

Soon after that, I realized that I didn't want the podcast to be all about podcasting. I wanted to collaborate and interview. I wanted to discuss other topics. So, I started experimenting...

The second season of Podcasting Is the New Kink! was all about HBO's Lovecraft Country. It was my first review and it sort-of set the tone for future seasons. I talked about my favorite and least-liked moments, themes that drove the story line, and diversions from the book and more.

I get really passionate about my shows and you could tell by how I started sharing more of my personal opinions, letting you in. But, something was nagging at me to go deeper, so the third season was all about me! I shared a few of the journeys that changed my life and helped me to become more of myself, and it felt really good to get a lot of that off my chest.

After that, I was ready to keep experimenting, so I tried interviews. In season four I interviewed clients: my first, current, former, and... my mom. Lol. She wanted to start a podcast and I knew I would be comfortable with her. We talked about leaning into your curiosity, growing through guilt, and more.

And, that brought us to episode 25, which was another celebration just like this! If you haven't noticed, I like to celebrate! :)

The next season of Podcasting Is the New Kink! was all about FX's Kindred, which was cancelled after one season. And I am PISSED because they didn't even finish the story! I talked about that in the season. I also talked about diversions from the book, themes and characters, predictions for the season that we may never get and more.

Season six was all about intimate partnerships! I sat down with The Amazing Clarks, Dee and Bee Hendershot (Truth and Coffee Time), and Snooks and Lovey Cason (Married Into Crazy). I learned so much from them and I absolutely recommend them! After I got my free sessions from the experts, I talked to a few of my friends who are in relationships and I honestly learned a lot from them as well. I also brought my partner back to talk about the major themes that came up in just about every episode.

That brings us to the current season which is all about Black Women Yogis. I spoke to many yogis about the benefits and versatility of yoga, especially for POC, and getting out of your comfort zone. But, to be honest, this season is moreso about healing! So, I also spoke to other healing practitioners about how Black people can heal!
