Being An Editor Is Like Being A Mushroom ft Preet Pannu

We are delighted to welcome Preet Pannu to our list of special guests with ties to Punjabi! Born in Nairobi, Preet has a beautiful name and an amazing story of her origins in Kenya, including being part of an interfaith family.

   Preet is no stranger to the media world, having worked as a professional producer and editor for Documentary Films, Travel TV, and East African Radio. With TV credits on PBS, Travel Channel, and Discovery, Preet's career has taken her from the UK to the USA, and back to East Africa.

 Now, Preet has made her home in Brooklyn, NY. Preet has had an incredible journey! After being discovered as a radio presenter in Nairobi, Kenya, she moved to America but kept her African roots close. She regularly visits Kenya, organizing wildlife excursions and contributing to the non-profit Leo Local in Laikipia. Preet's adventurous spirit is evident; she's a wanna-be DJ, skydiver, scuba diver, and 4WD safari co-driver. 

This episode was a long time in the making and I'm so glad that Preet shared so many beautiful memories and gems. From her insightful take on tea being stronger than coffee to her discussion on digital media and parenting, Preet has shown us how much wisdom she has to offer.

I've already started collecting vinyl records for Preet and may even be brave enough to go skydiving with her (NOPE!). But our conversation about soda was also a highlight for me. Where does the best Fanta come from? How do they do it, when the glass bottle ones overseas taste far better than the plastic ones over here? Could it be a case of nostalgia?

I'm looking forward to revisiting this conversation about digital media and parenting with Preet in a future episode, especially on Mother's Day. It's so important that we address these issues now. Make sure to take Preet's advice on dancing and clubbing. And I'm sure this won't be the last time you hear from her on the podcast.
