Podcast Week: KICPOD, Ben Roberts-Smith, Adnan Syed (Mediaweek)

Keep it Cleaner founders Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw have announced that they're bringing KICPOD and KICBUMP podcasts to LiSTNR.

“Sure, they’ve already got Simon & Garfunkel or Lennon and McCartney but now they have the classic duo of Robbins and O’Neil. We are not polished, KIC is not polished, Laura and I are not polished, and we think our listeners like that about us as well. We hope the podcast feels like a hug.” Henshaw: “We live in a world where you open the news and get stuff like what’s been going on in the past week, it’s really hard. “Also, I think LiSTNR will help us to get a better understanding of exactly what our audience is wanting or listening to – that’s really exciting for us. Even if we are just talking about the fun stuff, if people can take things from listening to our podcast, that’s awesome. What that means for us is that we can bring to light really important topics, and we know that our audience is open to it.” “We’ve had 14 episodes so far, and what we found is that a lot of the listeners aren’t necessarily mothers themselves, or parents – they might not even be pregnant. “We’ve never captured video content of our podcasts, and as podcast listeners ourselves, we really appreciate when other podcasts do that, I find it really entertaining. When it comes to deciding what to cover each week, the pair say that it comes down to a philosophy they’ve had since the very beginning: the podcast is for the community. Created after the birth of her son, Harvey, KICBUMP covers everything from bump to baby – but she says that the listenership is not restricted to mums.
