What's up podcast fam? I'm your host Levi McCurdy and today I had the honor of sitting down with Felix Arroyo, host of the amazing Journeyman Chronicles podcast. This was an epic nearly 2-hour conversation diving deep into Felix's origin story and the trials and tribulations of his podcast journey so far.
We started all the way back in 1996, exploring Felix's early days getting into music, writing plays, and discovering his innate passion for storytelling. I was blown away hearing how he taught himself to create music on his own as a teenager, driven by a pure love for hip hop and conscious rap.
From writing his own albums to performing live shows at the famous Chameleon Club, Felix gave us an inside look at his come up on the Central PA rap scene. We even got into that iconic green screen "Everything Burns" album cover art that I remembered from back in the day!
Beyond music, Felix opened up about his evolution into podcasting and the motivation behind starting the Journeyman Chronicles show. After years stuck in a dead end job, he yearned to take back control of his time and do something aligned with his purpose.
Even as he struggled with consistency and technical challenges those first couple years, he persevered with a commitment to keep growing the show. Now in Season 3 he's built real momentum, lining up interviews weeks in advance and attracting more guest outreach than ever before.
Our wide ranging conversation touched on everything from the difficulty of balancing passion projects with family life, to the inner belief and work ethic required to make it independently. Felix gave incredible insight into his spiritual grounding and vision to build an inclusive media network spotlighting diverse voices.
I could relate to so much of his podcast journey, from scrapping by in the early days to later finding confidence as a host and interviewer. Our transparent talk exemplified the real conversations that podcasting enables between two people genuinely invested in each other's growth.
This talk with Felix inspired me tremendously as a fellow podcaster and content creator. I'm pumped for him to keep expanding his reach and honing his skills on the Journeyman Chronicles. His humility, perseverance and care for community shine bright and I know he's destined for big things.
I hope you enjoy this candid glimpse into the heart and mind of a talented up and coming podcaster! Please show Felix lots of love by subscribing to his show, and let me know which parts resonated with you the most from our discussion. Looking forward to connecting with you in the next episode fam!
