Simple Conversations is a podcast about breaking down barriers, fostering curiosity, and rediscovering the art of simple human connection. Hosted by ASG, this podcast is all about raw, honest, and straightforward interactions with people who have compelling stories to share.
If you’re someone who craves genuine conversations and loves peeling back the layers of how people think, Simple Conversations might just become your next favorite listen.
Simple Conversations About The Human Experience
Simple Conversations is, at its core, a heartfelt exploration of people’s lives and the experiences that shape them. Whether the guest is someone with a fascinating backstory or an intriguing perspective, ASG approaches every interview with a unique curiosity.
The host’s goal isn’t to overcomplicate or intellectualize the discussions but to keep them accessible and relatable—conversations so straightforward that, as ASG puts it, even “the homeless guy outside my apartment could understand.”
ASG describes his process as one driven by curiosity:
“I find someone that has an interesting story or life that piques my curiosity. I grab a page, write down 10 things that make me curious about them, and vomit all my questions into the microphone.”
The podcast also carries a deeply personal motivation for ASG. Having struggled with panic attacks, depression, and social anxiety, ASG started the show as a way to challenge himself, improve his social skills, and combat overthinking.
This personal journey adds an authentic layer to the podcast, making it more than just a series of interviews—it’s a labor of self-growth and connection.
“Starting the show forced me to speak to people all the time and stopped my overthinking problem as everything I think gets said into the mic,” he said.
If you love understanding how people think or learning about unique perspectives, this podcast is for you.
Behind the Scenes: Making Simple Conversations
The production of Simple Conversations is as straightforward as its name suggests. ASG uses:
- Buzzsprout as the hosting provider to distribute the podcast to popular platforms.
- Riverside for recording, ensuring high-quality audio in remote interviews.
- A pair of Jabra headphones—borrowed from work!
- An old refurbished MacBook for editing and managing the show.
This no-frills setup is a testament to the fact that you don’t need fancy equipment to create meaningful content. It’s all about the conversations, not the production value.
What’s Next for Simple Conversations?
ASG has no plans to overcomplicate things. His goal is simple: to keep connecting with people and growing the show organically:
“Honestly, I just want to keep doing it. I judge the success by how many new messages or comments. The show is about interacting with people, so the more that want to speak to me is a good sign I’m doing the right thing.”
In the future, ASG hopes to reach more listeners, spark more conversations, and continue fostering meaningful human connections in a world where small talk is becoming increasingly rare.
