‘More Of That Please’: Pop-up podcast brings Island voices to life

Comox Valley creator Charlie Karumi is taking conversations to the streets with ‘More Of That Please,’ a pop-up podcast that asks one simple question: “What would you like to see more of in the world?” Armed with just a table, two chairs, and a pair of microphones, Karumi invites members of the public to share their ideas, ranging from more empathy to more local food to even more love for BC Ferries workers. The content takes two forms, long-form podcast episodes available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube, along with short vertical clips tailored for Instagram and TikTok audiences. Supported by a Comox Valley Arts Incubator microgrant, ‘More Of That Please’ has already partnered with the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market and Courtenay’s Pulse on the Plaza, bringing community-driven conversations to multiple locations. “It’s a podcast of the people, by the people and for the people… Shout out to Abe Lincoln!” says Karumi. Don’t be surprised if you see it soon, the pop-up podcast might just appear in your neighborhood next.
