Details

The idea for Podcast Experiment is to first prepare our content, focusing on the mysteries of humankind. We’ll decide together which topics to explore, and then we’ll book a space at the Kitchener Library to record our podcast. While I’ve never done a podcast myself, I’m excited to take on this challenge and create a collaborative space where we can all share our ideas.

Join us as we discuss incredible personalities in history, explore legends that are hard to believe, and examine archetypes that shape our understanding of the world.

This is a space for lively discussions, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative storytelling—where your ideas come to life.

No prior podcasting experience is required; just bring your passion for storytelling and your curiosity about the mysteries of history and myth. Together, we’ll craft engaging episodes that entertain and inspire, weaving a tapestry of intriguing narratives.
