Deep dives
Evolution of the 21st-century work-life podcast
The podcast host discusses the evolution of her show, the 21st-century work-life podcast. She started the show in 2015 as a way to share her opinions about the world of work and as a platform to talk about remote teams. Over time, the show expanded to include solo episodes, guest interviews, and a co-host. The co-host, Lizette Sutherland, provided insights on remote work and agile methodologies. However, due to audience association with remote work, the podcast's focus shifted towards remote teams, and it was even subtitled 'Leading Remote Teams' to increase searchability. The host emphasizes her enjoyment of co-hosting and plans to continue the show with a new co-host, Maya. From the beginning of 2024, the host intends to broaden the podcast's scope to cover more topics beyond remote teams.
Changing format and future plans
The podcast's format evolved to include themed episodes, tools discussions, well-being segments, and conversations about remote work articles. However, due to repetitive headlines and topics in remote work, the podcast now focuses on expanding or commenting on themes covered by guest episodes. The host, Maya, suggests this format change to offer fresh perspectives. In the future, the host plans to maintain the podcast's focus on remote teams but also invite friends and individuals whose work she admires, even if they do not fit solely within the remote work space. The host highlights the growth of remote work podcasts and the availability of high-profile hosts and guests. This growth allows her to reintroduce the original theme of the podcast, exploring various aspects of the 21st-century work-life.
