OK, so my podcast!

thenewgreen and humanodon thanks to this post and discussion I had a little bit of a breakthrough today. I was thinking about what kind of podcast I'd like to do, which I had really been struggling with because frankly I'm not so in love with myself that I can just babble into a mike for an hour on a given topic. Can't even buy the idea of it. And humanodon had mentioned some of the potential flaws in this podcast I linked to today, which I think are clear and accurate. I started to think about all of my friends who are active in the local arts community, of whom there are several; on top of those I have some sort of extended network of artists I can tap into.

So I think I wanna do an interview show with artists, "art" as a very loose term, writing or musicing or drawing or what-have-you. Comicing. I want a loose interpretation of artists.

I figure I'll mostly showcase local artists but don't want to limit myself. I have a big enough network that I think I could find enough people just from the local area to do 3months worth of podcasts if I publish biweekly.

I'm pretty excited!

I have a work certification I'm studying for til November so I won't get anything off the ground this month. I'm also going to have to figure out recording, hosting, all that jazz. It's a lot. But I think I could have a lot of fun and maybe even increase upon my artistic network, plus I would be able to talk about stuff like "Is creating masturbatory?" and "What is writing?"

(The latter half of the podcast has a recurring sort of theme, "Are we writing?" The latter half of the podcast might be better. I'm not sure. You still may have trouble getting into it. Up to you! But I do read a poem that you guys haven't seen during the break. You could fastforward and just listen to that ;) )
