About The New York Minute

Lyla hosts a weekly podcast that airs on Eden Radio & Radio Today in South Africa, with 11 episodes already available. “The New York Minute” is a weekly podcast she created, a platform to interact & network with New Yorkers working in various industries, or people who can give insight on trends and culture in New York. Her work caught the attention of South African comedian David Kau, who interviewed Lyla for his new show "South Africans living in New York."

EP9 The New York Times, Lagos Photographer - Lyla interviews Oladapo Ogunjobi

The NY Times Portfolio Review is a two-day event in which photographers, photo editors, publishers, and video producers gather in New York to meet and trade ideas. Applicants are encouraged to apply from all around the world with around 3 000 people applying. About 160 participants were chosen to attend the conference. The Review took place this past weekend. (on the 21 and 22 April 2018.) Reatile Moalusi and Kgomotso Neto Tleane are two South African photographers whose works had been chosen for the New York Times Portfolio Review. Lyla rubbed shoulders with the two talented photographers at a South African braai in Brooklyn, when expats came together to celebrate Freedom Day. The gentlemen also invited a friend they made at the Review – a photographer from Nigeria by the name of Oladapo Ogunjobi. ( Instagram: @iam_ouverture ) Lyla was curious to hear how Oladopo had managed to get ahead of the game in his field, in his country, and casually unpacked her recording equipment that she shamelessly carries around town with her (just in case she meets someone cool that she can’t say goodbye to without sitting down for an impromptu interview first!) Lyla’s podcast airs on EDEN AM Radio, on Dustin Miller’s show every Tuesday (9:15 ET/15:15 SA time) The series can be found on her Soundcloud channel. Microphone in hand, Lyla & Oladapo stepped away for a moment, from the sizzling grills and cheerful interactions between South Africans, who traveled from different states to attend the Freedom Day Braai. The event - organized by Shaun Peterson from Boskabouter Advetures - saw over 100 people gathering around braaivleis fires at Pier 5 in Brooklyn, with beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline. The event was ended off with the tradition of the South African National Anthem being sung by all who attended. Photo credit: @iam_ouverture (instagram)

EP7 Being an actor in Hollywood - Lyla interviews Edwin Gagiano (in a car!)

We know by now that “stranger-danger” does not exist in Lyla’s world, no. This week, she jumped into the passenger seat of a South African expat’s car and got him to spill the beans on life as a Hollywood actor – listen in on their conversation whilst they try and combat their own “mission impossible” on the road - trying to find a parking spot in New York! After 3 hours of driving around, Edwin shows off his singing talent to Halsey’s “Bad at Love” in a collaboration with Lyla – stay tuned to the very end of this interview for a recording of the “Roadrage Kararoke” As heard on the South African radio station, Eden AM’s "It's Miller Time" - Edwin speaks about the lessons he has learned on his journey to success, and shares the hardships and insights about a transition as big as the one of moving from small town Kimberley, to America.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
