Ages late to the party, I decided to start my own podcast, to maybe better explain all the things I never get around to writing about. I joined up with my friend Jonathan, and using Skype, recorded the first episode last Tuesday. The first thing I learned about podcasting from actually doing one, is that I hate how my voice sounds when it’s recorded. I sound like a six foot version of Kermit the Frog. Secondly, it is harder than it sounds. There are many visual and aural cues you normally pick up on when you have a face to face conversation with someone that are totally missing over Skype.

Overall, I’m mostly happy with the first episode. I know I was pretty rough, stuttered a few times or more here and there, and sometimes lost track of my thoughts. However, the first episode is done, mixed, and up online. No hiding now.

We hope to do at least one episode a week, and I’m pretty sure we will get better. If anything, this podcast will make me a better speaker overall, and even if I never get beyond ten listeners, I will have accomplished something.

So, with no more waiting needed, the url for the podcast is:

Try to enjoy.
