Manoush Zomorodi Talks Podcasting, Says 'Every Media Company Is A Multimedia Company'

On this episode of the @Sree Show, Sree had a thoughtful conversation with reporter and podcaster Manoush Zomorodi, who specializes in covering how technology affects our lives. The interview began with Zomorodi discussing her popular tech and culture podcast, Note to Self.

The podcasters also talked about how the phenomenal success of the Serial podcast has changed the larger podcasting scene. Zomorodi expressed her belief that while that program's true crime hook was unique, general interest podcasts have a lot to offer because of the intimacy of the format.

Next, Zomorodi spoke about how she came to her current position as the host and managing editor of Note to Self and how she has to produce audio and visual content to compete in the current media sphere, noting that "every media company is a multimedia company."

Finally, the show closes out with Zomorodi talking about her Bored and Brilliant initiative, her relationship with modern Luddites, and Sree revealing the unique way he reads the New York Times sports page.
