A Positive Step: Recent Episodes
Ben Edwards
The project is a podcast which aims to discuss self-help, give advice, and help empower consumers to take positive action in their own lives and make positive changes. Podcast episodes would look to anonymously answer questions and provide advice based on questions asked by listeners. The questions will be gathered via social media (Instagram) and answered anonymously during that week’s podcast. Polls will be run each week to allow followers to vote on what topics they want to be addressed and so they feel part of what is going on and that their voice is heard. I strive for this to become a supportive and empowering community where people feel comfortable sharing their problems, helping themselves and each other and slowly learning to become more positive in their daily life.
