WYL Take Ownership Podcast
At the end of 2019 as the Whose Your Landlord team was wrapping up their first season of their audio podcast they realized that for their next season they could have more reach if they simultaneously made a video podcast. Through my past relationship with host Ofo Ezeugwu’s brother Andre, I was retained to develop the production.
The WYL Take Ownership podcast features curated in depth conversation, hot takes and original critique of current events and how they effect the communities we live in.
