With over a decade of experience, Gia Peppers knew she wanted to continue telling Black stories on more platforms.

When the opportunity to have her own podcast presented itself, it was an immediate green light. The podcast — “More Than That with Gia Peppers” — later went on to have an “award-winning first season.”

“We have a space to get to know these different ideas that are happening within our community. You will see more of that for season two because we create more commerce conversations that aren’t just available on podcasts either because we are in 106 radio markets every single weekend,” Peppers said.

In addition, Peppers has landed a new role as the show’s executive producer.

“This is my first time being an executive producer of a show,” she said. “So, I’m learning from the other executive producers — I’m learning and watching how people make decisions.”

She continued: “One of the things that I really wanted from season one to season two is to have a voice in what happens with our content, how we’re doing our interviews, how the shows are being written since my name is on the show. We have to be mindful of what we say, do, and what is allowed in the show. The executive producer opportunity gave me just more of a voice in the creative process.”
