Introducing: The GennY Podcast – A Gen Y Podcast From Singapore
March 10, 2009 – 3:23 am | by Daryl TayIf you’ve been following me on Twitter or Plurk, you may have gathered hints about a podcast coming your way.
Well, it’s here! It’s called Genny (pronounced Jenny – you have Krisandro to thank for the name) and the deal behind the podcast is that we decided to just get a handful of people from Generation Y in Singapore, and just really talk about what’s going on. Sometimes it’ll be about social media, sometimes it won’t be.
First, let me introduce the people in this podcast:
GennY Episode 1 Team
Krisandro, myself, Dorothy, Yin and Yinqi make up the people behind this episode, but it’s a revolving team and the voices will change from time to time, depending on who’s available to record the show. (Big thanks to Ingrid for putting together the graphic!)
As our first episode goes, this is pretty raw because we just sat in a room and talked into a laptop (Anyone wants to sponsor us proper podcast equipment?), but I hope you enjoy it anyway. It can only get better.
The show notes:
- 00:00 – Krisandro starts us off – introductions all round
- 00:53 – The topic: How is Gen Y different in the work force?
- 01:28 – Will Gen Y mindset change during the recession?
- 02:26 – Gen Y has no qualms with changing jobs, even in a recession
- 03:39 – Perhaps Gen Y feels there isn’t enough recognition at work
- 05:08 – Did the media influence Gen Y’s outlook on life?
- 07:56 – How is Gen Y different outside the workspace in peer-to-peer interactions?
- 09:57 – How does online interaction affect offline interaction?
- 10:51 – Krisandro claims he’s 19
- 11:01 – Are there different norms that apply online and offline?
- 11:58 – Maybe it’s easier for us to verify if people are weirdos online
- 15:10 – Blooper!
Please check out the podcast here and give us your feedback! If you’d like us to cover a certain topic, just drop a message in the comments. Thanks for your support!

Cool stuff. Keep up the good work.
How about putting it on iTunes so that iPod (and iPhone) users can subscribe to the podcast.

Oh.. and speaking of podcasting equipment, it would depend on what kind of sound you need. Also where and how you are going record. Finally, the number of people you are going to have on a podcast..
Maybe you can drop by one of Tech65 recording, and we can talk about all this.. You can also take a look what how we records and produce it.
