Tell us about your podcast
- It’s actually the first podcast created for the plus size industry.
- I started my podcast in 2008 when podcasting wasn’t even popular.
- The reason I started my podcast was because I was in classes to be a television host and the teacher told me to create a podcast to practice my interviewing skills.
What podcast rain has happened because of your podcast show?

- It has helped me get opportunities in hosting live events.
- It’s been a great addition to my brain.
What are some things you’ve done over the years to get better at your craft?
- Practice makes perfect.
- You have to listen back to the interviews and critique yourself so you know what to improve.
- Just perfecting your craft through practice is helpful.
How do you grow your audience as a podcaster?
- I think the number one answer would be social media.
- When I started it was pre-social media so I just partnered with a magazine to promote my podcast.
