👋🏽 Welcome to The Folklore, our weekly newsletter where we talk about our journey of building Folklory, a startup that helps you turn family memories into podcasts. We’ll share weekly updates, wins, and learnings, so sign up if you want to hear from us.
A big happy 2023 to you and your loved ones! Here in Singapore, we just celebrated Chinese New Year, so here’s also wishing you a year of lots of prosperity!🧧🐇
We’ve been spending most of January recording and delivering the many orders we received towards the end of the year. Now, we’re back to finding ways to grow, both on the consumer and business side.
🚨 HELP NEEDED 🚨 After securing our first business customer, we want to engage with more businesses on how Folklory can help them. Here’s a startup CEO chatting about the journey of building her company.
If you work at a start-up or large organization, we’d love to chat with you to share more about how we can help! You can leave a comment below, write to us at theteam@folklory.com or message us on Instagram at @thefolklory
With all the craze around ChatGPT, we wanted to give it a shot. We asked it why should people record memories of their loved ones through podcasts, and the answer was pretty mind-blowing!
Here’s what it answered -
Recording memories of loved ones as personal podcasts can be a meaningful and powerful way to preserve their legacy and keep their memories alive.
1. Personal podcasts allow you to capture the unique stories, memories, and perspectives of your loved ones in a way that is intimate and personal. You can record their voice and hear their inflection, accent, and tone, which can evoke emotional memories.
2. Podcasts can be shared with family members, friends and future generations. They can be a way to bring people together and create a sense of community, even if they are not physically together.
3. Personal podcasts can also be a therapeutic tool for processing grief and remembering loved ones who have passed away. Listening to their stories and memories can provide comfort and a sense of closeness to the person who is no longer physically present.
4. Lastly, it's a timeless and digital way to keep the memories, it can be a way to make sure that the stories and memories of loved ones will not be lost over time.
We then asked it why companies should record internal podcasts, and the answer did not disappoint
Employee engagement: An internal podcast can help increase employee engagement and foster a sense of community within the company.
Improving communication: Podcasts can be used as an effective tool for communicating important company updates, policies, and strategies to all employees.
Facilitating knowledge sharing: An internal podcast can provide an opportunity for employees to share their knowledge and experiences with their colleagues.
Now we just need to find the best way to get this message out to the world.
Until next time,
Haresh
