Andrea Devakumar

Hey there! I’m Andrea, a 14-year-old student in class 10 (2024), and the voice behind this podcast. What started as a project for an English assignment turned into a full-blown passion, and here I am, pushing my boundaries and having fun with it! I’ve always loved listening to podcasts, but the real kicker was overcoming my stage fear (trust me, I was terrified). Now, I’m all about exploring new topics, sharing fresh perspectives, and getting out of my comfort zone. Sure, I still get nervous sometimes—but that’s all part of the journey!

I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait to share more episodes with you. Join me on this journey, and I promise you’ll always find something interesting, fun, or maybe even a little thought-provoking!

My Story

Starting this podcast wasn’t exactly part of my plan—it all began with an English project. The first episode was created as part of a school assignment, but once I hit record, I discovered something unexpected: I loved it!

Before podcasting, I was someone who struggled with stage fright. The idea of speaking in front of others used to terrify me. As soon as I hit 14, I knew I needed to be a bit more social, so I started going for many competitions, joining school plays, assemblies, activities and many more. When I edited and submitted my first podcast, I realized something...I can express myself around people, so I decided, let this little assignment help me accomplish my only weakness. With every episode I recorded, that fear slowly faded away. I started to find my voice—and I realized how much I enjoyed expressing myself, connecting with people, and sharing stories. It became a way for me to explore new ideas and expand my skills, while also growing more confident in my own abilities.

Sure, I still get nervous sometimes—who doesn't?—but now it’s more about embracing that nervous energy and using it to keep pushing forward. This podcast is my way of breaking through limits and doing something I love. And the best part? It’s all happening while I’m still figuring things out in my teen years.

A Little More About Me

You might be surprised to learn that while I’m the typical nerd in school (yes, I’m that person), I’m also someone who loves being sassy, dark (in a fun way), and humorous. People laugh when I’m around—always in a good way, of course. But it’s not just about the jokes; I’m also deeply passionate about my future. When I’m not podcasting, you’ll probably find me dreaming about becoming a doctor—someone who’s not only skilled but also respected in the field.

(Just a casual goal, right?)

When I’m not podcasting or studying, you’ll probably find me buried in a book, obsessing over my favorite shows, diving into the world of true crime and unsolved mysteries, and don't get me started on music (music is life, periodt.) The more I learn, the more I want to share it with others, and I hope, and I know, that this podcast will definitely help me do that.
