What does it take to build a podcast that’s designed to outlast you?
Keith Yap, host of The Front Row Podcast, grew his show to 15K subscribers in under a year – not by chasing trends, but by doing the opposite. His mission: create a living archive of Singapore’s brightest minds on geopolitics, economics, and technology. A time capsule for the next generation of Singaporeans.
In this conversation, Keith reflects on how his role has evolved from nervous first-timer to confident interlocutor – someone who doesn’t just ask questions, but challenges, supplements, and connects ideas across a growing catalog of diplomats, economists, historians, and technologists.
We also get into: how he landed his very first guest (Ambassador Chan Heng Chee), why he thinks Singapore is two degrees from anyone, his personal learning stack, and his bigger vision – making Singapore the intellectual capital of Southeast Asia.
