The Not My Job Pod
The Not My Job Pod is a podcast hosted by Emily Gant about work, people, and the weird stuff in between.
This podcast was born out of a simple realization: I don’t want my job to be my entire personality. So I talk to people outside the tech bubble — artists, community builders, creatives, and curious minds — about the passions, projects, and ideas that make them come alive. Just real conversations about what people love and why it matters to them.
This podcast is based in Berlin and heavily focused on the Berlin community.
