What is the name of your podcast and the meaning behind the name?
The name of my podcast is Be of Good Cheer. When I was born I was given the name Itumeleng, which means “be of good cheer!”
What inspired you to start a podcast?
First of all, I enjoy talking and having conversations with people. I also spend a lot of my down time listening to podcasts and I have learned so much from them. I was inspired by others to start one of my own and share my life experiences. My mission and hope for this podcast is to inspire others to grow, dig deeper into who they are, enjoy moments of laughter, and learn more about God.
What genre or niche do you consider your podcast to fall under? What audience are you hoping to reach out to?
I’d say it falls under the spirituality category and a bit of lifestyle as well. I try my best to incorporate God into my lifestyle, so there isn’t really an episode that I wouldn’t find an opportunity to let His light shine.
I am reaching out to any individual, I wouldn’t say there is a specific age limitation! I believe teenagers, young adults, and adults can benefit from what I may have to say.
What are some of your short-term and long-term goals for your podcast?
To be more consistent with producing episodes, and creating an interesting platform for those listening to the podcast.
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is looking to start a podcast or anything creative that they’re passionate about?
Just go for it! I used to tell myself I did not have the right equipment and make excuses why I can’t start, but once I snapped out of that I used what I had and I am thankful I took that first step!
Where can we check your podcast out?
