Pod Son is local podcast host and Pod Son Radio is the name of his podcast show, you can find it on YouTube. From our observation, Pod Son interviews consist, mainly, of guests from the local entertainment industry. We noticed somewhat of a pattern to his interviews. He dives into the background of his guests. He also asks them questions about currently trending topics. At some point he provides the guest an opportunity to discuss their current and future projects. Pod Son even has his own catch phrase he says throughout the show. He says, “Shine Moment” to highlight a guest’s accomplishments. He prides himself on having had the chance to interview guests such as Master P, Deebo, Rick Ross and more.
