Introducing The Mix Podcast! 👏🎙️

Does anyone here like podcasts? What kind of podcasts do you usually listen to? 🎙️

If podcasts are your thing, we wanted to introduce you to... The Mix Six podcast: One guest. Six questions. 30 minutes.

The Mix Six Podcast is the unfiltered, unafraid, and unashamedly authentic podcast for young people, aged 11-25 years old.

We will talk to the experts, the celebrities, the young people doing amazing things. We listen to those real- life stories, celebrate life and tackle the issues that no one else wants to talk about. The issues that matter most to you 👏🎙️

You can tune in here now!

(For our first ever episode, The Mix sits down with Owen Wood, winner of this year's BBC's Race Across The World. Owen shares his personal story growing up with anxiety, from school to becoming the star of a major TV show. He shares the lessons he's learnt along the way to take back control and become the person he's always wanted to be).

Let us know what you think of The Mix's podcast below!

    Glad you liked the podcast @toffuna101! Was there anything in particular that stood out to you?

    We usually approach people who we think would be a good fit for it and depending on various topics we may want to focus on. With Owen Wood, he's one of our ambassadors at The Mix so it felt like a great person to have for our first podcast!

    We'd also love to hear any ideas of people you think would be good to go on it. It doesn't have to be a celebrity, we could approach volunteers or put the opportunity out to people that have used The Mix for support too. Let us know what you think would be good for the podcast :)
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I'll also have to check out the podcasts too as well. It would be great to have more younger people too are guests because it would be technically targeting the chosen age group as well.
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films
