WOWpod: Recent Episodes
WOWpod by Podversations
WOWpod was born of the idea that, as people move through their life, they develop wisdom, defined by the online Oxford Learner's Dictionary as being "the ability to make sensible decisions and give good advice because of the experience and knowledge that you have".
Those in prominent positions - politicians, media personalities, etc - usually have a channel through which they can impart their wisdom to the masses. But what about the real people - the grandparents, the parents, the business people, the people who live quiet lives in your community? Surely, there is a massive untapped source of what we might describe as "the people's wisdom".
So that's why we established WOWpod - to find and share the people's wisdom.WOWpod is a podcast - in fact, the name is the shortened version of The Words Of Wisdom Podcast. The podcast will be a collection of conversations with a range of people - some well-known, others not so much. Each conversation will go for around 15-20 minutes and will follow a similar format:
-
A few minutes introducing our guest - where they were born, what they do for a living, etc
-
A discussion based on three to five statements of wisdom introduced by our guest.
-
Some fast facts which we'll ask each of our guests - favourite holiday destination, favourite eatery, etc.
We don't think that we'll change the world by presenting these words of wisdom in each episode but you just don't know what you might learn ...
In this, the final episode of the current series of WOWpod, Neil brings up the century by telling us his words of wisdom and the answers to the 15 Fantastic Fun Facts.
