Not the Models
You know that problem some people have where they can’t shut up? Not gonna lie, that’s me sometime, so I thought, “why not record it?'‘ Not the Models is a podcast my roommate and I co-hosted and co-created together the year of 2019—in my head, 2019 will forever remain the year I moved to LA and ‘the year of the podcast’. If focused on our wild adventures outside our comfort zones [the South] to our new beautiful city of Los Angeles, CA.
Making this podcast allowed us to collaborate creatively on an entirely new platform. We actually began the podcast thanks to the guys at Yes Theory—they held a contest the week we moved to LA, and somehow we won. Watch us in their video linked below. I got to exercise a new creative muscle with this endeavor as a host, but also got the fun chance to capture the essence of our brand via digital design and branding. In addition, I was the chief editor for each episode, which has greatly improved my editing experience with Adobe Audition.
Check out any of our 25 episodes below! You can listen in whatever order you’d like be we always suggest Ep. 2 and 5 first.
