- While writing this
I'm making the decision to have this be a monthly
podcast instead of weekly. That's how much I'm
thinking this is going to be wildly
difficult.
-
- Love you Don, but
holy shit why did I think I could get your ass
over here once a week. ANYWAY:
-
- FLASH AND THE FUNDAMENTALS
-
- The idea of a
podcast has come up often in the 20 years since I left
radio. It's been impossible for me to imagine putting
that type of effort into something that BEGINS with 0
people listening and hopefully catches on. Not after
tens of thousands (actually hundreds of thousands come
to think of it) on a massive AM Talk radio station.
Never really computed to me. Also, I love video too
much now.
-
- Then you see that
there are video podcasts... starting to get it.
However... still not seeing it as fun for me.
I don't care about money so there's gotta be a
better motivator.
-
- Enter the last
couple years of The Journey and as I mentioned in
a previous entry, so much is missing because of
Facebook. I need to document me a bit more on here...
more than just career stuff or being a dad stuff. Big
chunk missing. Add to that, the year-end video in 2015
I did with Don was wildly, wildly entertaining
for me to DO, for me to EDIT, and for me to watch. The
entire dynamic of Don trying to be proper and it
annoying me is just funny as shit to me. I think
it is to others, I hope it is to others... but
the bottom line is I enjoy the challenge of
editing together a video of us talking about shit
within the parameters of him trying to act proper and
me being frustrated by that.
-
- Initially
I was gonna just do a 30 minute, no edits
dealio... but we attempted that and it just didn't
work. We're not practiced enough to pull that off as a
duo and this will require a lot more focus at the
beginning... but - hey, good. I'd much rather produce
a monthly video that stands up to repeated viewing
than a ton of quantity with less quality. I can't do
that weekly, but I CAN do that monthly. So
monthly it is.
What was a 30 minute attempt two weeks ago is now the
promo:
-
-
- Man, that really
works for me. I have absolutely no idea if anyone will
want to watch and listen to 2 old guys talking about
shit, but I really don't care. I want to document
these ideas in 2018 because it feels like it's gonna
be a pretty interesting year.
-
- Alright! It's out
there! Now I gotta figure out how iTunes and all
that shit works. Giddy-up.
