Amy reflects on her journey from radio to podcasting, revealing the challenges and excitement of building her own podcast, The Foolosophers, with a longtime friend. The transition wasn’t without hurdles, but she embraces the chance to connect and engage in conversations that feel genuine and unscripted.
Maxwell and Amy also delve into the evolution of media and how corporate management pressures have transformed the industry. They discuss the impact of shifting from traditional radio to the podcasting "Wild West," where creative freedom and audience connection have taken center stage. This newfound freedom has allowed both hosts to reconnect with people and passions outside of their former structured radio careers.
