An hour long podcast
Is the end result
Including the planning of
Finding of
Cleaning of
Recording of
Creating of
This weekly Tuesday thing
“Gimme That” is the name 8pm the time
And the slogan
“The podcast where every record
played is for sale”
Which ended an hour ago
So that means
If I get started now
Next week
I’ll have another show
Nah really it doesn’t take that long
Usually
So I’ll start tomorrow

I used to produce a podcast show and star in it. It always used to irritate me how much time I had to spend on the production and clean up. My buddy (the co-host) used to tell me that I was polishing it too much but I prefer to listen to something that isn’t distorted wherever possible. These things create an endless cycle, which can be fun but taxing too when they take a significant amount of time. I like how this poem ends, that even though you know it takes a while, you’ll still take a break and have a breather until tomorrow 🙂
It’s a lot more work than most people realize but in the end people enjoy it, which is all that matters. I never plan what I’m going to say, that comes out naturally, sometimes it’s foolish to me but it’s real and live. And I make fun of myself which makes it fun. To me at least.
