The Home Edit's Clea Shearer And Joanna Teplin Talk Their New Podcast
Emma Terry
Since The Home Edit launched in 2015, what do you hope that listeners take away from your content, specifically with this podcast?
Clea: I truly want everyone to walk away feeling like we are all friends — that they're listening with their friends, not to these other people. I want everyone to have a smile on their face and be like, "Wow, that was fun. We were part of that experience."
Joanna: I agree. That's a great way to put it.
Can you describe "Best Friend Energy" in three words?
Joanna: Funny, and — this is not one single word — but not taking ourselves too seriously.
Clea: Authentic, funny, and warmth. There's a lot of heart. We laugh at each other all the time.
Joanna: All the time.
Clea: Not with each other — at each other. It's fine. It's a real come-as-you-are podcast. It's okay to give people permission to be their authentic selves and to have them be their authentic self on our topic. I want people to feel that.
"Best Friend Energy" is officially out on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast listening platforms.
