Speaking of Podcasts
There is a certain, very specific person that the “banter” podcast appeals to. You spend a lot of time in front of a computer, for one. Be it because of work, school or preference, you are a computer person. You have a sense of humor. You - I think this is the most important one - don’t feel “gotten” and maybe a bit lonelier than you should. I think everyone feels this at points at their life, at varying frequencies and degrees but I think you know what I’m saying (whether or not you’re comfortable admitting that aspect of your personality).
There is podcast for everything, and the person who seeks out 2+ people shooting the shit is a very specific person, indeed. And obviously, the person who feels compelled to create this type of thing is cut from a very similar cloth.
For me, I just wanted to goof around with one of my best friends. It was fun and easy (minus editing, which is boring and hard) at first. But we really started to run out of things to talk about. The show got harder to schedule the busier we got and it started to feel like a burden instead of a hobby.
I think about how all the ideas we’ve had for the show that we never finished - or worse - never even started, and it makes me sad, even a bit embarrassed.
It has been four months since our last episode. Constant scheduling problems and a pretty high level of disinterest are some tough hurdles to overcome. I’m just not willing to do anything half-ass anymore.
But! We have agreed to meet-up for one final episode! Like that Police reunion tour! I will be Sting! So, please call us (785.236.8243), or email us (livefromashoebox@gmail.com), or volunteer to give us back massages while we record. I loved doing the show, and I thank everyone that listened. But sometimes that’s not enough. Doing a two-person project by yourself just gets so overwhelming so quickly. I can’t stress enough how much we both appreciated all the feedback and support. There are just so many other poeple who do it better:
- Stop Podcasting Yourself (Episode 95)
- Cocktails for Two (Episode 7)
- Frank and Erik (Episode 11)
- Jordan, Jesse Go! (Episode 131)
- The Jean and Danforth Show (Episode 3) - This is a scripted, not banter-y. But I like it. And it’s my list.
And tons and tons of others.
We’re recording on Sunday. And I’ll try to edit and post it ASAP.
Thanks. Truly.
