We've just published our 7th podcast, and so far, everything is going very well. The show is gaining fluidity, people are listening by the half-dozens, and the crew is legitimately excited to keep on keeping on with it all. After a crappy week with very, very limited power (and no internet to boot), I'm coming back with a vengeance! We just did our first successful two-parter, I finally finished up the Lost Podcast (as in, we lost it, not the show...yet), and we have some great ideas moving forward. The gang is ever so enthusiastic about the direction of the podcast, and we're only getting better with each episode. Sure, the sound quality needs renovation, but we realize this and are working towards it.
The most fulfilling aspect of the podcast continues to be re-listening to it after we record it. At first, it's nerve-racking, but you quickly realize how much better it comes off than you originally feared. We've had 5 guests on the podcast now (I'm not counting House or myself), and I tell each of them the same thing. It always takes 30 seconds to warm up a bit once we go live, but each of them come away glowing after we hang up. I typically call each of them for feedback and thoughts, and everyone is always smiling.
I like to think we have really good chemistry on the podcast. That comes with being friends for so long. Whether or not it's magic isn't really for me to decide. All I know about it is that I'm going to continue to do it, Houser is always in, and my friends are always game to join up. And even if it's only ever a few of us that listen to it, it's worth it. It brings us closer as friends, gives us some fun things to talk about later, and provides us with something to look forward to. If you're new to listening, thank you so much. We do this because we love it. And if you've already been on the podcast, thank you for doing so. It's been a ton of fun, and it's only just begun. Rhyming not intended, but appreciated.
