Cat got their tongue? Not ever. Not Alexis, Williams and Cyd Raine. The two women run Catnipz Podcast, a digital radio show that shares the point of view of millennial women all across the U.S.
But there’s more: Catnipz happens to be one of the best Atlanta podcasts out there. And we’re not saying that just because we’re cat people (aren’t we all?).
AtlantaFi.com got the chance to talk to the creators of the Catnipz Podcast about the show, what motivates them and what’s next.
Catnipz Podcast: These 2 Atlanta women show their tales (tails?)
As we mentioned at the outset, the Catnipz Podcast stars a dynamic duo: Alexis, a 31-year-old entrepreneur and marketing specialist from St. Louis, Missouri, and Cyd Raine, a master’s candidate studying behavior analysis.
Cyd, an Atlanta native, recently relocated to Los Angeles and works as a behavior interventionist.
Alexis also owns and operates a hair salon in the heart of Atlanta.
Now let’s get into the Catnipz Podcast and what it’s about:
What inspired you to create the Catnipz Podcast?
We started the Catnipz Podcast with our love for nonconventional thinking and cats inspired us to create the Catnipz. We felt that women of our caliber deserved a conversation space to freely think and grow.
Indeed, the podcast delves into serious topics facing women today, but breaks them down in a playful and culturally accessible way.
Here’s how they describe it:
We got into podcasting as an outlet for personal therapy and to provide a voice for the underrepresented women of color.
“It’s an opportunity to share our experiences online.”
Most of the content for the show stems from real life adventures, conversations, and life lessons.
What is the Catnipz Podcast about?
The Catnipz is about all things millennial renaissance cat ladies love.
We wanted to change the narrative around what a cat lady is and does. The show is … a magazine concept / newsroom podcast, covering relevant pop culture topics, beauty & fashion, our version of love and relationships, with a special blend of self care and narcissistic advice.
Exactly. No matter if you’re a catlady or catman, the show is a hilarious take on how two Atlanta-centric women see the world today.
