I need to inform you that by the time you read this I will be a podcast guy.
Ugh. One of those, huh?
My excuse is such: in early February I embraced a few big ideas that manifested as a spoken audio project, which very much looks and acts like a podcast at the moment.
Big ideas, you ask?
First, I have been playing with sound, music, recording, and an array of other tools and toys that are burning a hole in my soul looking for a purpose.
Second, I looked at the conformity of what I should be doing and making as a so-called commercially viable product and said to hell with that, I just want to make what I want to make.
Third, I realized, and you may have seen me write about this a few times already, that stepping away from posting and participating doesn’t make the terrible stuff go away, it just leaves a gap that is destined to be filled with political, vapid, or algorithmic slop.
In other words, I was motivated to step up and start making more, posting more, and participating, but in a way that suited me. The result so far has been me dabbling in a new podcast-like project, and likely one that will not sound like nor look like the hundred other podcasts in your feed.
…or, so I hope.
Big ideas, small project, and a vast shift towards a new perspective… and if nothing else, you can listen to me now, too.
