11. So You Want To Make A Podcast Huh? Season 1 Finale

11. So You Want To Make A Podcast Huh? Season 1 Finale

Ready to pull back the curtain on podcasting’s wild and winding road? In the S1 finale episode of Who Says That!?, Cindy Lynn, and Cindi Lee are joined by Producer Justin Marra for this creative collaboration and serve up real talk no one tells you before hosting a show. Hardware fails? Check. Accidental closet studios? You bet. Lost episodes that still sting? Yep, still hurts. BUT the thrill of seeing your work played everywhere from Cleveland to Kenya—sometimes by the same family member-- is unmatched! We get candid on building a show with heart: the magic (and mess) of co-host chemistry, trusting the pivot when plans gone sideways, and letting real stories win over the algorithm. Want to know how Costco hot dogs taste, boiled carrots and wine pair, and badly The Real Housewives of RI Drive? Hit play for all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans. If you ever thought you needed one here’s your permission slip for imperfect launches, learning on the fly, and growing past episode one. Turns out, producing a podcast is less about perfect mics and more about showing up—ears open, and heart ready. Season one bows out with a reminder: your voice (literal and metaphorical) matters. 🌍 On a mission to hear from every corner of the globe? DM us at @whosaysthatpod on Instagram, or email us at whosaysthatpod.com and tell us how you found the show. There’s a world of stories waiting to be told—and maybe, just maybe, we'll hear yours in season two... Like the ride? Subscribe, share, or drop a glowing review wherever you podcast.

10. Leaning Into Your Own Voice w/ Dom Magwili

Ever feel like you’re looking in from the outside? This week on Who Says That!?, Dom Magwili pulls up his chair and invites us all in. We get into what it really means live the Asian American experience—and how the media world often acts like Filipino Americans are barely a footnote— Dom, Cindy Lynn, and Cini Lee get into: * Why Hollywood barely gets Filipino stories right (spoiler: it’s not about the actors, it’s who’s writing the checks and calling the shots) * What happens when you lean into your own voice—literally!—from self-publishing to narrating your own audiobooks * The wild mashups in Dom Magwilli’s stories: think Filipino Pirates of The Caribbean , meets the magical adventures of Narnia, space, and old-school labor heroes. * Why chasing joy (not just dollar signs) matters, especially when you’re teaching, performing, or charting your own creative path Ready to break out of the boxes? Kick back, listen in, and get inspired to make your own lane—no permission needed. Links: Want more of Dom’s work? Check out www.dmagwilly.com [http://www.dmagwilly.com].

9. Writing our Own Adventure w/ Aloura Charles

Ready to write your own adventure—on the page and in life? On this episode of Who Says That!?, Cindy Lynn welcomes the endlessly creative Aloura Charles: book author, screenwriter, director, mom, and accidental vitamin prankster. From swing dancing nights in Burbank (with Beck in attendance!) to epic bike rides, parenting with purpose, and wrangling the inner artist after life’s curveballs, this chat is a testament to staying curious, connected, and just a little chaotic. We cover everything from the origins of Aloura Charles’ “Sucked In” middle grade series (and why reading aloud really, really matters), to handling grief, to building your own tribe—one crazy story (or science-faction script) at a time. Plus: the sweatiest Italian Halloween, Ghostbuster costumes, and why foaming at the mouth is sometimes inevitable on a film set.

7. From Healing To Thriving in Costa Rica w/ Selena
