Local Podcaster reaches 50 milestone

The writer behind the free monthly newsletter Katie's PRIDE has found another creative outlet after her reflective podcast reached its 50‑episode milestone.

The Letters of Katie Wilson began quietly as a personal project rooted in calm, routine and self‑expression. For Katie, who cannot use social media because it is overwhelming for her mental health, the podcast became a gentle alternative — a way to share her thoughts without the noise, pressure or constant engagement that online platforms demand.

"It helps me keep my boundaries," Katie said. "It's not meant to be lectures or advice. It's simply a place of reflection. I do it for my own personal growth, and if it helps other people along the way, then that's a bonus."

Each episode lasts just two or three minutes and usually includes a short psychological reflection alongside a Bible reading. Katie uses AI to create the audio, explaining that recording or listening to her own voice would feel too pressurising. The technology allows her to share her thoughts in a way that feels safe and manageable.

She is clear that she hasn't built a following, nor was that ever her intention. The podcast has remained a quiet, steady space — something she creates at her own pace, without performance or public engagement.

Reaching 50 episodes marks a meaningful personal milestone for her, especially as someone who values gentle routines and low‑pressure creative outlets.

The Letters of Katie Wilson can be found on Apple Podcasts or RedCircle for anyone who wishes to listen.

Katie continues to publish Katie's PRIDE each month, offering local stories, puzzles, positive news and community notices to readers across Hitchin.
