When Sophie Greiner and Bella Filacuridi first met, it didn't take long for them to work out they listened to the same podcast. What started as swapping favourite episodes quickly grew into a deeper dialogue about how a listening to the same podcast as someone is such a powerful vessel for meaningful conversation and connection. It was in those early chats that the idea for Dome began to take shape. A platform not just for podcasts, but for the communities built around them.Recorded in the beautiful @armslengthbar in Sydney's Potts Point, this episode explores:The cultural power of podcasts: why listeners crave deeper conversations, how podcasts are shaping pop culture moments (like Taylor Swift on New Heights), and what makes the host-listener connection so uniqueBeyond the mic: the rise of real-world podcast events, from Steven Bartlett’s cinema watch party to Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network Vegas tourPersonal journeys: how podcasts shaped Bella and Sophie’s careers, from working with Hannah Ferguson at Cheek Media to pitching Dome on stage in Tokyo through Red Bull’s global innovation competition.Building community: why listeners no longer want to consume podcasts alone, and how fandoms are evolving into real communitiesChapters2:00 – 9:18 Why we’re building Dome9:18 – 12:51 The pod advice that changed everything12:51 – 14:08 How Dome took us to Tokyo14:08 – 16:05 Our startup journey16:05 – 19:22 The power of podcast fandoms19:22 – 20:55 That’s a wrap!Podcast Mentions & RecsShameless: Shameless Media, hosted by Michelle Andrews & Zara McDonald @shamelesspodcastCall Her Daddy: Alex Cooper (Unwell Network) @callherdaddyNew Heights: Travis & Jason Kelce @newheightshowDiary of a CEO: Steven Bartlett @thediaryofaceopodcastGive Me a Buzz: Chantelle Otten and Lucille McCart @bumble_australiaActs of Wellness: Lillian Ahenkan (@flex.mami) @swisseauUnpolished: Simona Lattuca (@sim__simma) @opi_australiaWorking Hard Pod: Grace Beverley @workinghardpodBig Small Talk: Hannah Ferguson and Sarah Jane Adams @bigsmalltalk_podThat Psychology Podcast: Jemma Sbeg @thatpsychologypodcastEverybody Has a Secret: Annabelle Lee & Charlotte White @everybodyhasasecretpodHot Smart Rich: Maggie Sellers @hotsmartrichCatch us on socials! @homeofdome is on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
