Introducing an independent podcast whole-heartedly committed to the vibes implied by its title. Chasing the Whimsy is a show hosted by a dad in his forties, and his son. The idea is to seamlessly bring together Gen X and Gen Z under a fun and unconfined format, and the result is a well-established podcast that openly covers a broad range of different topics.
From family dynamics to embracing the holidays, through emotional topics like pride and becoming a grandma, to more light-hearted talks with guests like professional Tetris player Cheez, Ming Chen, Robert Kurtzman, and many others, as well as takes on Halloween, comic cons, Chasing the Whimsy has built a name for itself thanks to a combination of consistency and this all-inclusive, welcoming and laid-back entertainment vibe. It’s the kind of podcast that reminds us all of the beauty of family and the strength of those bonds, despite the seemingly vast differences between us all generationally.
Celebrating personality and family milestones, as well as the smaller pleasures of modern life, Chasing the Whimsy flows like the genuine conversation it is – the younger counterpart keeps things clearly unscripted, and that makes for a discussion style that’s both relatable and entertaining to let play. The idea is to inspire others to start their own podcasts and tell their own stories, as a means of building stronger bonds and finding an outlet or means of summarising their own historical journeys in the modern world.
Alongside that, Chasing the Whimsy can actually help you produce a new podcast, as well as offering advice and assistance to those looking to get started – reach out to them via their email: Whimsy@chasingthewhimsy.com.
Having recently reached the immense milestone of 100 episodes, Chasing the Whimsy kindly released a ‘Best Of’ or ‘Top 5’ episode, and it makes for a brilliant introduction to the fun and frivolity of the show’s format. Episodes are generally around an hour long, and are easy to let play in the background or unwind to at the end of a long day.
As if the heart-warming family format and unity of the conversations isn’t enough to inspire, Chasing the Whimsy Podcast has also made it part of their mission to give back to their community, and has committed to donating $500 to low income families, largely through their Patreon.
