CHAPTER 1

The Beginning

very much so pod started in my bedroom in the middle of the night in 2024. i felt the strong urge to change my outside page from [thank me later - outside] to @verymuchoutside (took me 3 changes to land on this exactly). within the hour, i changed the bookstagram to @verymuchreading and realized this now meant that the podcast needed a new name + internet space too. i made the decision to keep it separate from my previousssss podcast and i'm so happy i did.

twas also during a season of funemployment and with such distinct niches (podcast, books, travel), i was so excited to give 100%, (but) God had other plans. as much as i saw the vision of everything i wanted to accomplish, life was stomping me out LEFT and RIGHT.

kept getting up doe and looking back, that year was so transformative. started summer bucket list with a budget of (zero), started the newsletter, did whateverrrr i wanted to and worked everyday to bring this vision to life. no bounds, just freedom.

CHAPTER 2

The Vision

not just a tagline. it's the look and feel of the podcast. meant to feel like a facetime, voice note, and quick (or lengthy) text to your friend. no story is too random to unpack. We talk about the things we're reading, watching, questioning, celebrating, and figuring out in real time. Equal parts thoughtful conversation and entertaining commentary, it's a space for curious people who love a good tangent, a fresh perspective, and the feeling of being in on the conversation.

CHAPTER 3

What I Stand For

Culture First

Very Much So is a culture-first podcast that explores the stories, art, and experiences that shape us. My storytelling lens is rooted in Black culture, from the movies we revisit to the writers who document our rich nuisances and the music that becomes the soundtrack to our lives
(like megan Act II).

For the Gworlssss

this podcast was created with community in mind, especially for Black women in the DMV. whether it be hosting a listening session, summer bucket list activity, or cookout - making new friends is always on the menu, formed around shared experiences online and IRL.

Yappaholic

i'm a yapper to my core. TO MY CORE. i am the friend who sends voice notes anywhere from 5 mins to 15, so somethings i just already prepare to map out a moment on the pod to go more in-depth on my favorite music, books, tv/film, travel and so much more!
