Ah, after a weekend of breaking promises left and right, I do finally present to you my very first podcast.
Warning: It’s rather crappy. I had a sore throat while recording it, so it’s rather raspy. Which I suppose is an improvement over being overly nasally, which is my natural range. I decided just to go forward with it, or I’d never get it done. Also, minimal edits, or again, it would never get done.The podcast is about 25 - 30 minutes long, wherein I ramble on about nothing. At the moment, I can hardly remember what I talked about. I think I made vague mentions to other podcasts, and probably school, but other than that, it’s a big blank.
When I get home tonight, I’ll try to listen to it again, and figure out what linkage I should be throwing up here.
As always, leave me a comment, either here or through Odeo, and it will probably help me figure out what I’ll be doing next time.
And yes, there will be a next time. Even if no one ever listens, I’ll still be here, rambling on about stuff no one wants to listen too.
Edit: Here are the links I promised and failed to deliver in a timely manner. After listening to the podcast (again), I figured out what I needed to be posting links for:
- KnitCast PodCast
- Pointy Sticks PodCast
- Christopher got a shoutout, so it’s only fair he gets a link.
- Michael over at Binary Bonsai, and how I listen to his podcast even while I think it’s slightly boring.
- Fall Out Boy, and their MySpace page (I shutter that I had to link to MySpace just so people who have never heard them can download a song).
- Coming Soon: Concert photos taken by K.
Oh, and always, please please leave me a comment through Odeo. It’ll help me figure what’s coming next.
- “I’ve Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song),” From Under the Cork Tree: Fall Out Boy
Lisa, you had the voice of a goddess.
Ok, so not really, but i did listen to the whole thing without yawning once
lol, at least I know you enjoyed it. And I’m glad I didn’t make you yawn. Still doesn’t make up for the lack of hanging out.
LOL! I didn’t yawn either. I think you did great!
When I was a kid, they put me in the “gifted” class which involved a LOT of speaking in front of others. My mom was great at helping me get through these things. I’m very good at speaking extemporaneously (I actually won a plaque for it my Junior year of HS and it hangs on my wall to this day) but, because I’m like OCD, short-attention-span-woman, mom helped me out. She had me write my major points down with a few bullet points below each so that, if I felt the urge to say “um”, I could look down and segue into the next point.
The whole time I was listening, I started to get excited that maybe I could do my own some day… then I was envisioning my cheat-sheets from the old days that good ol’ mom helped me make when I was a frightened 3rd grader.
Cheers!
Sachi - Thanks for the kind response
The only time I’ve really done public speaking was a speach class in college, and there we had to write out exactly what we were going to say.
I keep thinking about writing down major points I want to hit, but I constantly interupt myself. That’s why podcasting is difficult. I’ll start on one topic, and then deviate, and before I know it, I’m telling the story of how I got a knitting needle stuck in my arm.
Hopefully I’ll get the next one up on monday.
