Writer and podcast producer Amelia Hruby is back for part 2. Last time we  focused on how she left and the feelings that come with navigating using Instagram both personally and professionally. This time we focused on podcasting, including how we both have used it to build connections, how we’ve seen the medium evolve, and where she sees the future of the industry. We cover live dynamic conversations vs. monologues, deep listening,  the strengths and limitations of podcasting as a medium, the role of editing and more. Whether you're an aspiring podcaster, avid listener, or simply curious about the future of podcasts, this episode is an exploration of the medium's potential and its ongoing evolution. Show Notes:- Sign up for the Talk Kit waitlist- All of our kits, including the Podcast Kit & Interview Kit- Find Amelia's work & podcasts on the Web- Amelia's & my podcast app recs:GoodpodsOvercastSnipdListennotes- Judith Butler- Deep Listening by Pauline Oliveros- Our newsletter to get show notes + more.- Instagram me: @letitouttt or I'm @katiedalebout- Photo credit: Linsey Huffaker If you liked this episode, try out:Episode #420: Collapsing Timelines with Holisticism's Michelle & Wallis
