Cheese Samuel“I don’t think there is really a blueprint of how to feel so when it happens, but it was probably one of the most real moments of my life.”
YouTuber, Tiktoker changed, podcaster cheese Samuel always loves strange-but-proud stories, ever since he was a child.
After the epidemic, the freelance presenter decided to keep that passion for good use and, from his additional room in his South Cheshire house, created strange podcasts in 2022, in 2022.
Since then, the combined 71 episode has been jointly downloaded more than a million times and also had a stent on top of the True Crime Chart of Spotify and broke into the top 10 of all UK Podcasts.
“I was just at my home when I came to know, which is a kind of fitting because I am a one-women band and do it all on my own,” he said.
“I shed a tear – I am a very emotional person anyway, but it just felt incredible and I did not know what to do.”
Cheese SamuelSamuel was not a stranger to pay attention – he started his content creation career on YouTube in 2009, expertise in alternative music and fashion.

He said that the amount of work and type of research “varies from the subject” and highlight his episode who discovered sleep paralysis.
“I really talked to those who experienced it and read scientific letters about it,” he said.
“Other times it will be historical documents, if it is a story that is actually immersed in history. Every time it is always good to do something different.”
Cheese SamuelSamuel said that she often suggests her cover for an episode of the audience eager to listen to the lower stories.
He said, “Always there are stories that you have not heard of and I like to cover those who are slightly away from the beaten track,” he said.
She makes her podcast with her freelance work as a presenter and content manufacturer, including the interview of the game of Thrones actor Massey Williams for the first Ticketkok.
Despite the charge and suggestions of the followers, Samuel said that she would never “use” artificial intelligence as part of his process.
“For me, as a creative, that simply defeats the purpose,” he said. “I started this podcast because I love stories and I like research.”
Samuel has temporarily withdrawn the frequency of his episode to one per month, but is expected to return to its previous fortnightly program in the near future.
He encouraged someone else, who was thinking of starting podcast “to give it”.
“My biggest advice is before you click on the record, sit and make sure you have your concept, so you know what you want to do and what you want to achieve,” he said.
