Welcome to the AP Blog: Taking The Mission Further

Host, Astoria Podcast
Hello, Astoria neighbors and fellow podcast enthusiasts! I'm excited to kick off my brand-new blog for the Astoria Podcast. If you've been following my podcast journey, thank you for joining me on this exploration of local business owners and their personal stories. And if you're new here, get ready for an adventure into the heart of our community.
With the Astoria Podcast, my mission is all about connecting you with the incredible individuals who run our local businesses. Behind every storefront and service lies a unique story—one that goes beyond business to reveal the essence of our neighborhood.
With this blog, I'm taking the mission further. Since this show is about getting to know your neighbors, you should know more about me, your host, as well. Here’s what you can expect:
Personal Stories and Community Experiences: I'll be sharing more about my own journey and experiences that have shaped my passion for community and entrepreneurship. You'll get a peek into what inspired me to start this podcast and blog, and how each guest has impacted me personally.
Behind-the-Scenes of Podcast Production: Ever wondered what goes into making a podcast? From selecting guests to editing episodes and everything in between, I'll peel back the layers and share tips and tricks that I've picked up along the way. Whether you're thinking of starting your own podcast or just curious about the process, I hope to make storytelling through audio more accessible.
Hearing from more local business owners: This blog isn't just about me—it's about getting to know more of our neighbors. While I have so many incredible guests lined up for season two of the podcast, I want you to hear from as many inspiring community members as possible. So here I will feature short Q&As with even more of our wonderful neighbors.
While I’m expanding the mission of the podcast, the goal remains unchanged: We are getting to know our neighbors and those who help our community thrive. And we can all play a role in that. By getting to know each other on a personal level, we can break down barriers, support one another, and thrive together.
Whether you're tuning in from just around the corner or halfway across the world, I invite you to join us on this journey. Let's explore the power of storytelling, celebrate entrepreneurial spirit, and, most importantly, get to know our neighbors a little bit better.
So thanks for being here. I look forward to getting to know you.
