The Job Interview podcast

🥰THANK YOU ALL🥰
After seeing a million and one posts yesterday, it occurred to me that I should check how my little podcast got on... These are the definition of rookie numbers, but I am grateful for every single one of you who tuned in and joined the conversation 😊 I've been quiet recently while I finished my degree (I got a first 🥳), started a new job and moved to a new flat, but now the dust is settling I've got my eyes on series 2 and I hope I'll see you there 👀 Thanks again for all the love and support, you're the best 💕

📚 ALWAYS LEARNING 📚
With one deadline left of my degree, I'll soon be returning all of these to the library! In all honesty, books aren't the best resource for podcast research because most of these predate Spotify and so are a bit out of touch... Personally I've found 'learning on the job' to be the best approach in such an evolving medium (as well as listening to HOURS of podcasts) 🤓 the other day a friend gave me some really insightful feedback about my hosting and I'll be working on it for series 2, so I really mean it when I say let me know what you think! Drop a comment or send me a message if you have any thoughts ahead of the new series 👂

1️⃣ SERIES 1 IS FINISHED 1️⃣
I have to be honest with you here, I started this podcast as a bit of an experiment, as part of my final year project at university. I wasn't sure how it would go down, so I decided to keep it short and gauge the response before I got too carried away... Fast forward and I've been blown away by the support, and I'm pleased to announce that I have every intention to bring you a second series very soon 🌟 in the meantime keep listening and sharing the podcast so my amazing guests can inspire even more people. I have some big plans for the new series, but feel free to give me some feedback on what you liked and what could be even better! You'll be the first to know when series 2 drops, and keep following the page for hints and BTS goodness. I'm also in the market for some memes so get creating and I'll post the best ones 👀 thanks so much for your support so far, it really means the world xx

🎈200 PLAYS 🎈
Just under a month since I launched the trailer and released my podcast into the world, I've hit some nice round numbers 🤓 maybe one day I'll look back on this post from much loftier heights, but for now I'm super grateful for every single person who takes the time to listen to the Job Interview 🥰 (this is 100% not an April Fool, even though I'm kind of in disbelief that so many people are listening to something I created) thanks every single one of you, see you at 300 and beyond xx

📈RETENTION BONUS EPISODE📈
Just like any good job, I want to reward you for sticking around this far. You couldn't get enough of Aiwan and Amy, so I figured you'd appreciate hearing more from my sessions with each of them! I hinted at some technical issues in episode 2, but for this we're giving you warts and all - it's going to get silly and very off topic 🤡 I hope you enjoy hearing the lighter side of the recording sessions, let me know if you want more of this in the future! Check it out here: https://anchor.fm/lucy-harper1/episodes/Retention-Bonus-Episode-eumlth Enjoy x

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
You've probably been eagerly awaiting this week's guest announcement (as if Bowie isn't enough!), but Monday's episode will be a bit different 👀 feel free to drop some guesses in the comments, but I'm keeping it zipped 🤐 if you haven't listened to episodes 1 and 2 yet this is the perfect time (but I would say that) 😉 See you on Monday! ⏳

🐾GUEST STAR🐾
If you've listened to episode 2, you will have heard the delicate stylings of Bowie the cat! Bowie was involved in the podcast session mostly as a background noise provider, but also displayed her environmental credentials by trying to limit Amy's screentime and energy consumption 🔌 If this isn't making any sense, check out the episode for details ( https://anchor.fm/lucy-harper1/episodes/Episode-2-Amy-Brennan-eu7a2g ) I know how the internet feels about cats, so don't let me down - show Bowie some love and share with all your feline-friendly followers! 🐟

✨EPISODE 2 OUT NOW✨
You can now find the latest Job Interview here: https://anchor.fm/lucy-harper1 or wherever you streamed episode 1 (you have listened to episode 1 right??) ⏯ Amy and I battled through bad WiFi and her cat's attempts at sabotage - anyone who's been WFH or attending Zoom uni this year can relate - but the conversation was 100% worth it 🙏 This one's for the people panicking about life after graduation, the women seeking role models in broadcasting, and anyone who needs to hear that career paths rarely follow a set route 🗺 Enjoy, and as always let me know what you think! x

📻EPISODE 2 GUEST📻
I've got another blinder for you - this time in the form of Amy Brennan ( Esmé ) ! I met Amy in 2019, at Calrec Audio in Hebden Bridge, but since then she's gone on to become a Studio Manager on BBC Radio 🌟 If you're looking to take your skills to the national level and beyond, or just want reassuring that no career is off limits as long as you're determined - this episode is for you! It drops on Monday, so if you haven't listened to Ep1 yet make sure you add it to your Bank Holiday plans 🐣

😳CONFESSION TIME😳
Okay so I didn't expect to fool so many of you with my last post - Happy April Fools' Day 🤡 In all seriousness though, I've had so much support today and if I ever do make it to 1M and beyond it'll be because of you guys 🥰 I've actually just hit 100 plays which I know is rookie numbers, but I'm so humbled by the support! Please keep listening and sharing, today has been a glimpse into what could happen for the podcast and I really hope you'll join me for the journey xx

🤯1MILLION LISTENS🤯
Can't really believe I'm posting this, but the podcast has passed 1 million listens overnight! Thanks so much for all the support, and if you haven't listened yet do it now before your friends realise how out of touch you are 😬 So grateful for my fans 🙏

✨EPISODE 1 OUT NOW✨
The first episode of the Job Interview podcast is out now on all good streaming sites! Find the links on https://anchor.fm/lucy-harper1 and let me know what you think once you've had a listen 👂 I was really lucky to speak to Aiwan and her story is so inspiring for anyone looking to make it in the audio industry, or just to make their passion profitable. I learnt heaps in the conversation, plus the recording and editing process for the episode itself, so I really hope you enjoy it x

⚡EPISODE 1 GUEST⚡
I'm beyond chuffed to announce that I was joined for episode 1 by Aiwan Obinyan, founder of AiAi Studios ! Aiwan has experience in all corners of the audio industry and beyond, with clients including gal-dem, BBC, VICE, GAY TIMES, Young Vic Theatre and Adidas, and it feels pretty special to get anywhere near that list 🤯 Be sure to check out Aiwan's profile and website - I can't believe my luck and you probably won't when you see the work she's done 🤩 Hurry because ep 1 is dropping soon...
