The Slack Variety Pack - A podcast by Slack about work, life, & everything in between

This is SO Canadian. BC-Canadian, mind you.

This is a new podcast by Slack. They describe it as "a mix of original stories, funny office culture sketches, and journalism focused on innovation, modern culture, and people who have found their purpose, who are living their dreams, and who love traveling off the beaten path." You can listen to the first episode here.

Excited to listen! I mean who doesn't love Slack????

Very interesting approach to a company podcast. What lead the team to create a show with this format, storytelling style, focus, etc? Most company podcasts tend to focus on stories and interviews that revolve around various use-cases of the company's product/service. This Slack podcast does not, instead it focuses on telling funny and interesting stories that don't necessarily have a direct connection to Slack. Would love to hear from the creating team about what lead them to create this particular podcast, what their goals are/were, etc. :)

Love seeing start-ups and non-traditional media companies embrace the world of podcasting. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.
