We’re Experiencing Technical Difficulties…Please Stand By

After quite the week, I’m between tearing my hair out and jumping for joy. As the title suggests there were some minor technical difficulties, which led to the delay of recording until yesterday. Now, I get to enjoy the editing process of listening to myself talk for hours and hours.

The experience overall was a lot of fun. I sat down and discussed several concepts and ideas revolving around a single question with a good friend of mine. I’m hoping to leave the topic a mystery still, but it’s something I find particularly interesting and find myself researching quite often. Throughout the episode, you’ll get to hear both our perspectives.

With this being the first recording I’ve put out online, I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to feedback or dreading the criticism I’m sure I’ll be getting when I release the episode over the next couple days. Just looking back on the recording, I know there are a few things that I can’t really go back and fix, I don’t know if there’s an editor on this planet that can make my first go at this sound “good.” Maybe some extra-terrestrials can get their hands on it?

It was really glad to have a good friend working on this first episode with me, and I hope he was able to learn a lot. The jury’s still out on my opinion on how the format turned out. There were elements of what I was hoping to capture with the guest not knowing the topic, things like raw, unprepared answers and feedback, but there were a couple moments where I didn’t have much else to say, and neither did he so we had some long pauses. Those should be edited out, so if you didn’t read the last sentence, you’d never it happened at all…

I really do think recording one more episode will help cement my interest or not. The process is a bit more involved than I was expecting but not in a bad way.  I enjoyed some parts of the recording, but not others. Hopefully, in the next and any possible subsequent episodes, I could find out how to minimize the pain points and maximize the fun.

Thanks for reading and stop by tomorrow or Friday to see if the podcast is up. I’ll create a new post for it with a short write-up and include some links to what was discussed.
