Meet Maggie Zhang 🎙 “Get Together” Podcast Correspondent

“Everyone has that thing that makes them super excited they can just talk endlessly about it. When you’re interviewing you're feeling around for that geyser. You don't know what's going to make them light up. As you find it, you can feel that flow and the change in their voice.” - Maggie Zhang

Maggie Zhang and Bailey sit down to reflect on Maggie’s learnings so far as a “Get Together” correspondent. Maggie’s approaching her 10th episode on the podcast. She’s brought us the stories behind creative communities like Improv Everywhere, Atlas Obscura, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls. Her curiosity, creativity, and thoughtfulness has leveled up our podcast immensely —from how we choose guests, to how we approach our interviews and edits.

Outside of the podcast, Maggie is the Design Community Manager at Spotify. She has also worked at IDEO, Substack, Daily tous le jours, and she once traveled around the world to create her own publication, Commonplays, about what makes a place creative and innovative. 

In this episode, you’ll learn more about Maggie and absorber reflections from helping us make the podcast.
