Life Stuff: Recent Episodes

Nandan Venkatesan

A podcast about looking at things through a different lens - there's a lot of things to do in life, but not everything needs you to take the "traditional" path. Here we'll be picking apart some long-standing thoughts in society through analyzing the content around us - be that movies, TV shows, or the content I create personally (and the reasons you should create too!). Hopefully this podcast gives you a little insight into the things we can change and inspires you to do the same.

Hey! I'm Nandan - a content creator and engineering student at UW Madison. In this "trailer," I introduce the podcast to you to help you learn a little bit more on the things we'll be exploring. I've shortened the first episode into a 4 minute teaser with an introduction to myself, an introduction to the topics we'd discuss in the podcast, and also a little pitch on why this might benefit you! So if you're unsure on whether you want to dedicate 20 minutes of your day to me, listen to this :)

And don't forget to rate the podcast if you like it!

Hey! I'm Nandan - a content creator and engineering student at UW Madison. In the first episode of this podcast, I talk about meeting Dan Mace - a YouTuber I look up to - and what I learned from him. This episode focuses on the realities of creating content and how there's always a balance of doing what you love vs. doing what you gotta do to pay the bills / for the clout. If you're interested in creating content of any form - writing, filmmaking, music, etc. - this podcast is for you!

The goal of this podcast:

  • It’s all about content - how that influences us, how you can make it, whether there’s a “right” or a “wrong” way to do it, how visuals play a role in telling a story, movie recommendations, etc.
  • To make people aware of what goes behind making content, be that YouTube stuff or even movies and other videos, and how the final message of the video is put across in a way that makes you get it (if you stick through to the end); this will help with looking at the world in a new light for those that aren’t already adept with filmmaking techniques / analyzing stuff
