Upon scrolling through producer and sound designer Aiwan Obinyan’s endless LinkedIn page, you’ll find that she is the person behind many successful podcasts including Mediawatch, Snatched!, Growing Up With Gal-Dem and Reclaimed Rewritten, as well as many others. Alongside starting the Black Queer-owned production company AiAi Studios in 2013, Obinyan is the senior podcast producer at LGBTQ+ publication Gay Times and the “reluctant host” and producer of AiAi’s first in-house podcast UK Black Pride: A Time Capsule.

In this week’s PodPod episode, Obinyan speaks to Rhianna Dhillon and Reem Makari about how she used her company to amplify the stories of people who have been historically marginalised, how she went from silent producer to first-time host of her new podcast UK Black Pride: A Time Capsule, insights into a survey revealing what LGBTQ+ POC want to see in podcasting, and the importance of finding the human connection in podcasting.

Hosted by Rhianna Dhillon, and produced by Emma Corsham for Haymarket Business Media.
