What happens when the friend everyone calls for advice suddenly reaches thousands? This episode of Into the Podverse profiles Richard "Richie" Coleman, host of Richie's TalkZone, a fast-rising youth podcast in Nigeria.

Richie walks through the phone call that turned private guidance into a public platform, why he tackles the tough issues young people face, and how his voice-over background shapes his signature sound. He also breaks down his growth strategy and explains why impact, not monetisation, drives his work.

A sharp, honest look at the mindset behind one of Nigeria's most relatable youth voices, and a useful guide for creators who want to build content that truly resonates.

They unpack Podfest Naija, the push for better curation, and the value of documenting creators' journeys. It's a simple, honest conversation about building a real podcast industry one brick at a time.
