Rome Learns to... Podcast

Started as a side project in the midst of the COVID pandemic, this is now a personal audio journal where I share my thoughts, learnings, and random musings as I experience and learn various things while living my life as a regular human being and while creating content. There might be guests from time to time, but it's mostly going to be just me talking to my past self, my current self, my future self, and to you (my favorite listeners).

Thought Crime VS Thought Heroism | 365 QwR 241-245

This is not a well-articulated thought. I'm just processing it while talking about it on the podcast, so my views and my opinions on the topic might have already changed when you get to listen to the episode. Well, does it matter? Anyway, the questions I answered in this episode are as follows:

Thoughts on Solo Podcasting | 365 QwR 236-240

This episode is more of a stream of consciousness thing and I spoke of some thoughts regarding podcasting solo. It's challenging, nerve-wrecking, and disorienting at times. But it is also fulfilling in a way.
