E1 What Even is a Podcast?

Pacific women podcasters share stories, tips, and real talk on finding your voice and starting where you are.

Episode notes

Pacific women have always had stories worth telling. So what does it take for us to pick up the mic? In this first episode, host Neisau Tuidraki (Kokonati Talk, Vosa S3) sits down with co-creators Mere Nailatikau (Two Fishes, Vosa S2), Elvina Ogil (Who Asked Her), and Arieta Tora Rika (Vosa S1) for a talanoa about why Pacific women's voices belong in podcasting — and how to get started. From finding your niche to recording in your wardrobe, they cover the practical and the personal: the gear, the self-doubt, the cultural pressure, and the joy of finally hitting publish. If you've ever considered podcasting, this is where to start!
