I am happy to announce the launch of the first episode of The LDSPMA Podcast! In the first episode, I interview Steven Piersanti, who is one of the original members of the Latter-day Saint Publishing and Media Association. He currently serves as the director of conferences and programs.
Podcasting is always an adventure for me. I love listening to podcasts and I have enjoyed the few that I have done before hosting The LDSPMA Podcast. To be honest, I never thought of myself as a podcaster. I’ve always seen myself as a writer and storyteller, but sometimes our creative paths lead us in directions we never imagined.
Podcasting is turning into a medium where we can simply and effectively share our light. We can flood the airwaves with hope and positivity. We can model civility and celebrate differences of opinion and diversity of thought.
I still write poems and work on my novels, but I feel my focus, for this time and season in my life, shifting to figuring out how to be the best podcaster I can be. I know that I’ll make some mistakes. I’ll even put out a few episodes that aren’t perfect, but I know that I can’t wait. If I wait—it won’t happen. There are stories to tell that need to be heard.
So, if you are a podcaster, or want to be, I encourage you to get your message out there. I would also love to connect and learn what is working well for you and what pitfalls to avoid.
Keep moving and don’t give up.
