Behind the Scenes of Starting a Podcast: Weekend Vlog with diwali episode shoot
Starting a podcast is an adventure on its own, but add in the excitement of Diwali prep, some creative coffee art, and a weekend full of laughs, and you’ve got a recipe for a memorable vlog!
In our latest episode of Two Girlfriends Starting a Podcast vlog series, Nikita travels from Gloucester to Reading to join Pooja for a weekend filled with everything from grocery runs to setting up for our Diwali-themed podcast shoot. Curious about what goes on behind the camera? We’ve got all the fun and unfiltered moments right here!
Starting a Podcast Journey: Weekend Prep and Creative Planning
Our weekend begins with Pooja’s quick run to Tesco to gather supplies. Nothing says “content prep” quite like picking out the perfect items for your bestie’s visit! Back at home, Pooja dives into some DIY, painting newspapers and organizing everything needed to bring our concept reels to life.
Behind-the-Scenes Magic: Filming Day and Content Creation
Later, Pooja picks up Nikita, and it’s time to get the weekend officially started. This vlog gives you a candid peek into all the work that goes into creating a podcast episode, from executing the planned video concepts for social media to setting up the backdrop for a visually engaging experience. It’s a mix of productivity and funny friendship moments that bring out the best vibes!
A Beach Bar Break and Setting the Stage for Diwali Episode
After a busy day of shooting content, we made sure to enjoy a bit of downtime, taking a break at a lively beach bar. With some well-deserved fun, this is the perfect end to a jam-packed day of planning and creativity.
And as we wind down, you’ll see how even the smallest details add to the journey of building our podcast from scratch. From concept planning to location scouting, every part of the day showcases how we bring our vision to life. Also in this vlog, we are showing how sometimes little things can make us change our plans but we are always prepared to reroute if need be!
If you’re interested in content creation or podcasting, this vlog has a bit of everything for you.
Coffee Art and Latte Making: Wrapping Up the Weekend
Finally, Nikita takes you into her home, barista mode, showing how to make a latte and even sharing some latte art skills! It’s a cosy end to a busy weekend and a little reminder that sometimes it’s the simplest moments that bring the most joy.
