Ya ya dai, ?
Today, 30th September, has been commissioned "International Podcast Day".
As a newbie podcaster, I knew that I couldn't let this beautiful Monday pass without celebrating this new found hobby of mine *shines teeth*
I'm still processing the fact that I'm actually a PODCASTER! *pinches self + laughs out loud*
When the podcasting world started about two decades ago (2004 precisely), I wasn't really feeling it.
Why? I guess I just was still into the radio world that I didn't consider the possibilities of the podcasting community.
However, today I have a huge respect for podcasters around the world.
From those who jumped into it when people like us were still in "old skool" mood *giggles*
To those who have been consistently chuncking out episodes after episodes and series after series. No be small work, o! Talking from experience *wipes eyebrows*
And to those who have been constantly upgrading the podcast ecosystem, making it easy for late-comers like me to join seamlessly *grateful smile*
To celebrate this day, I specially invite you to listen to my story, as I share why I started and launched my tourism podcast, '๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ท๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ ๐ก๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ'.
During my "๐๐ท๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ ๐ก๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ'๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ณ๐ณ-๐ฃ๐๐ณ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐", we hosted a special live edition that featured a Q&A session where our MC, Ayomide Adediji, put me on the "hot seat", which he was very excited about *laughs*
In the interview, I shared what inspired me to start the podcast, the challenges I faced, and lessons learned along the way.
I also shared some behind-the-scenes stories about why I'm so passionate about the tourism industry and how far I have come as a Tourism Promoter in this special space of mine *smiles*
So, grab your cup of delicious coffee and tune in to this special episode with your one and only Afrocentric host, Ajala Nene ๐ฃ
As the saying goes, "Give honor to whom honor is due". This ah-mazing project wouldn't have been possible without the following people:
A special shout out to my main partners, Africa Business Radio and Wokpa, for believing in this project to the point of powering my podcast and our launch party *fireworks*
A special recognition to my media team, De Royalkay Studio, for constantly providing amazing media content for the podcast *hails*
Then, a special mention of my creative maestro of a graphic designer, Kunat Tychicus, for always creating beautiful fliers for the podcast *claps*
Lastly, a special thank you to all our podcast guests in Season 1, 2 and 3, and to everyone that has supported, partnered, sponsored and attended our podcast launch party.
I appreciate each and everyone of you *claps hands in prayer*
Finally, please don't forget to celebrate every podcast you know and listen to.
They are doing an amazing job creating valuable audio content for their audience and community.
Please send them a special shout out today. Give them their flowers ๐
This is a reminder to listen to my personal podcast "hot-seat" interview *chuckles*

Remember, ...
Life is short, live it to the fullest.
Your Wanderluster & Tourism Podcaster ๐
