This episode is unlike anything we have done here on the channel, and we have done a lot.

Produced in Hong Kong. Recorded across the globe.

We recorded on rooftops, in elevators, in front of sold out theatres and in teeny tiny boiling hot meeting rooms, We recorded across timezones with our talented co hosts spread across the world to like very recently at a recording booth at one of the best TEDx events in town.

We planned. We scheduled. We strategised.

We planned, we scheduled, we strategised so it fits in with our ongoing themes. But this time is nothing like that. This time we get really raw. Listen in as your host and founder of #impact – Regina Larko – records this very raw and personal message from her home of 7 years in Hong Kong to reflect on what this Podcast means to her.

And how it has kept her sane.

Audio is a medium that allows telling stories in an impactful, intimate way.

Today you meet the creators behind four of Hong Kong’s most popular podcasts in a unique panel about podcasting as an alternative approach to storytelling.

Recorded LIVE at Hong Kong International Literary Festival

How do these Podcasters approach their subjects, how do they tackle sensitive topics like (mental) health, resilience, and belonging as they are setting out to make a positive impact on their audience in Hong Kong and beyond? What are the hurdles and setbacks? What are the (unexpected) rewards?

PODCASTING – Storytelling with a twist 

Moderated by #impact Podcast host Regina Larko with panelists Cissy Radford (In The Changing Room), Emery Fung (Awkward Turtle At Work), and the Juhi Gagaramani of KELY Support Group’s Podcast (This Hong Kong Life).
