I’ve been thinking a lot about the podcast trend lately—how everyone seems eager to start one, especially younger people in their 20s and 30s. From my personal experience, not every interesting or deep conversation needs to be shared publicly through a podcast. Sometimes, the beauty lies in the privacy of those talks with close friends. Looking back, I realized that while I do enjoy great conversations, I don’t always have profound or educational content to share on a large platform. That’s why I decided against starting a podcast myself, at least for now. I feel that with more years and life experience, I might have more meaningful insights worth sharing in the future. In the meantime, I find value in listening to podcasts created by people who bring real substance and life lessons. For example, the Diary of a CEO resonates with me because it combines business wisdom with personal growth stories. Also, supporting local content like CNA Money Talks helps me stay connected to financial topics relevant to Singaporean young adults, which is very practical for someone in their mid-twenties. Ultimately, I encourage anyone considering a podcast to reflect on their purpose and content first. Not every conversation needs to be broadcasted to the world. Sometimes, the best moments are those shared quietly, without the pressure of an audience. It’s about quality over quantity, both in conversation and content creation.
