PODCASTS

I am late to the party as usual.

I have recently discovered audio podcasts....and I am in LOVE!
I have no idea why its taken me so long, I do not live under a rock or in a hole.  I've heard people talk about them.  I used to do a short video podcast...about a hobby of mine which I still do the hobby but have no time to podcast about it...nor not enough content.

Either way..I'm off track as usual or as you will come to expect.  I've been listening to podcasts now but about a month via the Podcast Addict app.  I listen mostly in the car or at the gym.

Because I am late to the party and don't really know that I am doing or what I am really looking to get out of this I have only discovered a few podcasts.  There are two that I really enjoy. 

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard and WTF with Marc Maron

A third that I listen to and enjoy but now as much as the previously mentioned is The Joe Rogan Experience.

Now both of these people are celebrities who mostly interview other celebrities (although I am listing to Marc Maron interview President Obama right now!   

I think some people will think that listening to celebrity interviews might be mindless...or empty some how.  This is how I would have thought about it BEFORE I actually listened however I'm finding it not the case. 

I have learned some very interesting things by learning about the lives of other people.  There is some seriously good content within a lot of these interviews.  Don't get me wrong there is mindless dribble and fluff but for the most part I have to say that I have learned something from each one. Of course I can't remember any of it now.  My brain seems to not retain things as well as it used to...I have to write a lot down...but then I forget to do that to. 

I've also discovered there are podcasts that tell stories...like a book.  And each episode is a chapter. I tried one of those...can't remember which one and kinda hated it.  That just isn't where its at for me.

I would LOVE to learn what you listen to...which podcasts you enjoy.  I would be very much interested in hearing your suggestions and then I create a blog post about it.  That actually sounds like fun...so GO!

PS...I ate a small bag of peanut M&M's for breakfast this morning and now I feel sick.  When I make a bad decision its usually a really bad decision.  Have you ever done that?

Reserect

The definition of Resurect according to the internets...

res·ur·rect
[ˌrezəˈrekt]
 
VERB
resurrects (third person present) · resurrected (past tense) · resurrected (past participle) · resurrecting (present participle)
restore (a dead person) to life.

synonyms:
raise from the dead · restore to life · bring back to life · revive
  • revive the practice, use, or memory of (something); bring new vigor to.
    "the deal collapsed and has yet to be resurrected"

So it appears that is what is happening with this space. 
Lately I've felt like I have things to say...specifically last night as I was falling asleep. 
But these things I feel that I have to say...I do not necessarily want to say to other specific humans.  I have humans to speak to if I feel the need...these are more thoughts that I just want to get out of my head...and put out there. 
Part of me wants other people to read/hear them...more so people I don't know personally.  Maybe throw in some comments....advice...or thoughts of your own...or not. 

SO..lets see where this goes.
