In a bid to provide a judgment-free and safe platform for young Guyanese individuals with diverse aspirations and professions, Alex Arjoon, a digital creator and founder of ‘The Gyaff,’ has launched a 100 percent local podcast.
‘The Gyaff’ podcast, spearheaded by Alex Arjoon, aims to foster positive discourse and create a supportive environment for the youth of Guyana.
Arjoon, in conversation with our news outlet, expressed his hopes that this venture into podcasting will bring about significant benefits for the country’s young population.
The journey of ‘The Gyaff’ began modestly, evolving from an empty room to a small podcast setup.
Arjoon shared that the initiative started as a hobby with friends in 2020 during the pandemic, gradually gaining traction in recent months.
The podcast features numerous guests from various fields, beliefs, hobbies, and experiences, engaging in pleasant conversations on topics of social interest.
Arjoon identified a lack of safe spaces for objective information sharing among youth, which prompted him to develop ‘The Gyaff’ as a platform to address this need.
He emphasized the importance of fostering conversations without discrimination and offering genuine contributions to the lives of young Guyanese.
The overarching goal of ‘The Gyaff’ is to facilitate inclusive discussions where everyone feels welcome to participate.
Arjoon stressed that the podcast does not aim to impose opinions but rather aims to share perspectives and aspirations of Guyanese youth.
Topics covered on ‘The Gyaff’ range from education and sports to music, mental health, and the aesthetic medicine sector in Guyana.
Arjoon envisions exponential growth for the podcast, attracting more local, regional, and international listeners to join the discussions.
As ‘The Gyaff’ continues to evolve, it stands as a testament to Arjoon’s dedication to providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and community engagement among Guyanese youth.
