Editor’s Note 10: Welcome to My New Investigative Series, Rep

Hi Friends, On Monday, myself, At Your Service, and iHeartMedia announced our investigative podcast series, Rep. The trailer is posted anywhere you listen to your podcasts, and at www.ays.media/rep  Before the first episode drops on Monday April 4, I sent the final cut to some friends and family whose opinions I really trust. One of them, my close friend Rachel Aschalew, who is a brilliant human and equally brilliant storyteller. At first, Rachel was calling me to tell me about my mom’s voice in the episode, so I recorded it to encourage my mom to start her cooking show!! But I’m so glad I recorded because what I really received was some of the most meaningful feedback on my work.  I’ve described this process of creating Rep as emotional, exhausting; but I never realized what that meant until it was reflected back to me through Rachel. Rachel has always seen me, it’s why we’ve become so close, her big heart is how we started Family Dinner during COVID, and we’ve been collaborating with her company RARE to hose our intimate family dinners for larger groups.  We have a beautiful Iftar dinner coming up that Rachel is helping us produce in celebration of Rep, so to say the least, Rachel has been there for this journey. For Her to discover me even more through Rep is EXACTLY my intention for listeners.  So, with that, welcome to Rep.  You can listen to Rep, by At Your Service and iHeartMedia anywhere you get your podcasts,  and at www.ays.media/rep As always, at your service --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podcastnoor/message
