The Bitterest Pill

I’m fat, hungry and willing to cut off parts of my body.

The story of Podcast Movement ’17 continues, after a few brief updates…

Yes, cars can fly.

It turns out, there’s even video from the POV of the bus the car almost hit…

A bit of an experiment with some new equipment, recording in my living room. I can hear the difference, but I’m, you know…me.

I start the tale of Podcast Movement, giving my acceptance speech for my induction into the Podcast Academy Podcaster Hall of Fame, and how I am in desperate need of validation. Yes, being inducted into a hall of fame isn’t enough…

Holy cow, it only took 13 years, but finally, my special in-studio guest is…

Yes, my daughter, the dancer/actor/singer/poet/filmmaker/student extraordinaire/potty mouth, finally agreed to be on the podcast. It seemed like it got very serious at the time, at least more serious than either of us had anticipated, but, we also had a blast. I’ll have to have her on again and not talk about dance…

And, yes, the episode was recorded on September 30th and released on December 4th. Yeah, I know. I’ve been hammering out a podcasting course… Actually, today I completely reimagined Season 2. The new Pill 2.0 will start soon.

By now, all those huge changes in our lives that have slowly but surely been creeping up on us (for, what, eighteen years?) have come to pass.  Hudson is off at college, T is going to high school about 40 miles form where we supposedly live, and I feel like I’m gonna die in the frozen food section of an unfamiliar Ralphs.

But first, I ask the age-old question: Exactly how much experience do you have to have as a podcast producer to get an interview for a job as a podcast producer? I would assume it’s a number below 13, but apparently not…

(03/25/2009) Our continuing adventures in Hawaii.  This time I’m waxing nostalgic about horseback riding and bb guns.  I grew up in the town that was home to the Crosman BB Gun factory.  At least, I think that’s what that was.  Right near the canal, near the one-lane bridge just outside the village?  Whatever…

This episode isn’t an episode, so much as an explanation of the college financial aid process.  My apologies.

As you may or may not have heard, I will be inducted into the Podcaster Hall of Fame this August.  Hard to believe, I know.  Apparently, there’s a lot to be said for never having the good sense to give up…

Season 2 will start after June 1st.  Between now and then, I am gonna make a short film… (it’s that time of year again)

MUSIC: Lunar Orbit by Monkey Warhol

I’ve been trying to figure out how to buy a computer on the cheap.  I finally woke up from my Apple-induced hypnotic state to realize I’m paying about double what I could be for a laptop.

And, my worst nightmare has come true.  The one thing I’ve been dreading would happen since October happened.  The good news: I wasn’t riddled with anxiety for no reason…

I bought the laptop from B&H.

PS: There is no Bitterest Pill #357.  I guess I skipped that one…

Sorry for the hiccup.  Enjoy!

Jeff McCann convinced me to try Bullet Proof Coffee.  It’s supposed to give you “mental focus.”  Your results may vary.

I also talked about WJPZ FM in Syracuse, and how verticle video is for Soccer Moms.  Sorry, but some things I’ll just never abide by… BUT, pretty sure I’m a complete hypocrite, because I don’t think I have a Subscribe button on my podcast’s website.  Nice. (Here’s the Tommy G. podcast)

End of show music this time was “Theme from Penguins on Parade” by Lee Rosevere.
