SG Explained's Rovik Robert talks Singapore's Podcasting Scene

Podlovers Asia: All about Asian Podcasting

Kicking off Season 3, we are talking with Rovik Robert, Co-Host of SG Explained!

SG Explained explores and takes a deep dive into all things Singapore-related: from policies to racism and history of Singapore to lighter subjects like chicken rice (one of my favorite foods!).

Since Rovik has been doing this for a couple of years now, I reached out to him to see his thoughts on starting this show and navigating through multiple topics of different levels of sensitivity in a multicultural context. Plus (of course), his observations on the Singaporean podcasting scene.

We talked about:

• Rovik's podcast origin story and starting up SG Explained
• His workflow and choosing the right topics and making sure, to get the most out of each opportunity in trending topics like racism, especially in Singapore
• The art of conversation, and the three types of conversations you can have
• How Rovik cooperates with his cohosts well, even if they have different opinions
• The other podcasts he's working on, including one internal within a corporate environment

Enjoy!
