May at Kollo Media

Hey everyone, Ben here. May was a month of conversation at Kollo Media. I was interviewed by The Diasporist about BAD COUSINS, we hosted an amazing talk and evening with Quinn Slobodian and Peter Matthews (of DWYS fame), and our shows continued with more author talks and expert discussions.

Now that we’re sharing monthly updates, it’s fun to go back and see February, March, and April. But now it’s practically June, and “Birds sing next year’s songs, or antique rescues.

Updates below…

Simplify

Simplify published two further conversations and signed our first advertising deal. More on that later in summer. Here were the episodes we published in May:

  1. Your body knows things your mind does not. Somatic Therapy legend Arielle Schwarz on being embodied. Podcast. Essay.

  2. Leadership in the age of AI. Leadership coach Deb Caulet on everyday acts of leadership and advice for new leaders. Podcast. Essay.

Fühlungsqualitäten

With Neue Narrative, we’ve begun scaling up the new call-in leadership show Fühlungsqualitäten. Every episode starts with a listener’s question from work. Then coaches Frederick Fleischmann, Elena Lange, and NN founder Sebastian Klein all discuss the problem and work through possible solutions.

We published two episodes in May:

HEIST

We’ve also started production on a podcast with the new worker-owned English language Berlin news platform HEIST, to launch in June. I don’t want to say too much about it just yet. Follow them on IG and sign up to learn more.
