When Kevin isn’t working or recording new episodes for his podcast, he enjoys exercising, including working out, running, snowboarding, and playing soccer.

Paloma
While most pets are content with lounging around the house, Paloma the dog has a unique set of skills that has led her down an exciting career path in the podcasting industry. Paloma was inspired by her owner, Kevin Muñoz’s dedication and passion for podcasting, which led her to explore the world of sound engineering.
Despite her limited vision, Paloma’s ability to detect higher frequency sounds than humans has made her an invaluable asset to Kevin’s podcast production team. Through her work in editing and sound engineering, Paloma provides a unique perspective and contributes to the overall success of the show.
When Paloma isn’t hard at work perfecting sound levels and editing episodes, she enjoys taking naps, going for walks, and indulging in her favorite hobby of scratching on doors to get under people’s beds. Paloma’s playful and curious nature adds to the fun and positive atmosphere in the studio.
Paloma’s story is a testament to the idea that anyone, even a four-legged friend, can contribute to the success of a project with dedication, hard work, and a unique set of skills.
