Send us a text In this heartwarming episode of Little Give, I sit down with Ben Apaun, the creator of the podcast Chasing the Whimsy, a show born from an idea his son suggested on his birthday two years ago. What began as a simple father-son project has grown into a meaningful family journey that records stories, preserves memories, and creates space for authentic conversations. From episodes with his grandmother sharing life before becoming “grandma,” to holiday recordings with the entire family, Ben highlights how podcasting has become a tool for connection across generations. He also shares his second podcast featuring teenagers, where he helps them find their voice, build confidence, and open up about real challenges like bullying, peer pressure, and growing up in today’s world. This inspiring conversation shows the power of small ideas to create lasting impact, strengthen family bonds, and encourage open dialogue that benefits both kids and parents.
