At a time when connecting to the world is as easy as reaching for your electronic devices, a booming economy of creators and consumers has developed over the years. Content creation and influencers have taken center stage. And while the creator economy is accessible, breaking through the industry is a much bigger feat. Fintech company Eplayment knows this best, and two years after the launch of its content aggregation platform, PIXEL, the mission of helping budding creators hone their craft is as apparent as ever.
Let Perez, known as Queen Wasabi to her audience, sits down with guest creators for the second season of Pixel Pod, spotlighting the nitty-gritty details of content creation and the work that comes with it. Pixel Pod is a monthly podcast produced by Eplayment and serves as an avenue for creators, by creators.
Building a space for real creator stories
Season 1 of the podcast launched last year with its pilot episode titled “Content Creation: More Than Just a Hobby.” Since then, Pixel Pod has released 15 episodes in total, tackling topics ranging from content creation basics to critiques of social media trends. The podcast serves as a casual sit-down between its hosts, Let and Andie, providing a safe space for content creators to hear firsthand from fellow seasoned creators how it is to operate within the creator economy.
For its second season, Pixel Pod, now hosted solely by Queen Wasabi, takes things in a new direction. Each episode features a different guest creator, exploring various aspects of content creation and the often unseen work behind it.
New segments and fresh interaction
Episodes are now divided into three new segments: Dear Pixel, Ask Ely & Echo, and a giveaway at the end.
Dear Pixel welcomes PIXEL users to write to the podcast about anything under the sun, with the host and guest creator discussing their letters. Ask Ely & Echo is a Q&A portion named after Eplayment’s mascots, Ely and Echo. PIXEL users send their content creation questions to Ely and Echo’s PIXEL account, which are then tackled during the episode.
Lastly, each episode concludes with a themed giveaway. Listeners are invited to answer a question related to that episode’s topic, and those who answer correctly receive prizes.
True to its promise of delivering authentic stories and insights from creators, Pixel Pod has already produced two new episodes this season: “Shoutout to the Crew: The Unsung Heroes of Content” and “The Mod Squad: Trusting Your Community With Power.”
Strengthening the creator community
“The Pixel Pod was created with our community of creators in mind,” Eplayment CEO Karlos Naidas explained. “We wanted PIXEL to be more than a tool that creators can use, but a place where they can gather resources for content creation and build communities of their own. The podcast is another way we can do just that.”
Following the success of PIXEL Academy, a series of content creation workshops for the PIXEL community, Eplayment is determined to continue bringing its user base together throughout the rest of the year.
“2025 was a great year for building up what we already started,” Naidas added. “PIXEL Academy was a highlight of our year, and we plan to close out the last quarter just as strongly. It always comes back to the community and how we can help them carve out their creator journey.”
For Eplayment and PIXEL, content creation is more than pressing record and publishing videos—it’s a process that begins long before and continues long after a post goes live. Through its podcast and other creator-centered initiatives, Eplayment remains committed to empowering digital creators and strengthening the growing creator economy.
