Hello all! Some people have been asking why Annaleis and I have
decided to do a podcast(some people have also asked what a podcast
is, but that's a story for another time). I think that's a
good question, particularly since our podcast really isn't
about anything. So many podcasts have specific topics, ie movies,
comics, cars, sports, sex, music... But ours does not. We just talk
and laugh and joke around about what's on our minds, and what is
going on in our lives.
Putting a set time aside, every week to talk and laugh with a
person I love, and share my life with, is amazing. We get to create
this little window in to our lives that we share with others. We
get to sit and create this together. We are interacting. Not
texting, not Facebooking, or tweeting, redditing, Google plussing
or any of the other countless ways that we communicate with others
these days. When we are done recording and we publish it, we open
up ourselves to the world. The people that listen will hear our
voices, our thoughts and our laughter. We allow strangers in to our
world. They can listen, judge, laugh, enjoy or hate it. But it's
truly us. Together. Not really giving a flying cow what the outcome
is because we know what we put out is real, and it's ours...
It is also something that will be there forever (however long that
is). Long after we are gone, these words, the hours spent, the
stories told, will be there for others to hear. We plan to have
friends and family come in to podcast with us. Not to interview
them , but just to hang out and hear their stories. For my Sisters
kids to hear their mom before she was their mom. To be able to
share my moms voice with her great great grand kids. For all of our
friends and family to have a conversation frozen in time that will
be handed off to others.
Let me stop here to say my sister does not yet have kids and,
as far as I know, is not preggo!
We plan to take our pod-casting "on the road". Pod-casting from
baby showers, weddings, birthdays, and holidays. Anywhere a memory
and conversation can be saved, and later shared. To know that my
family and friends laughter will be forever saved is why I
podcast.
So, if you have a chance and want to check it out, please do! If
not, it will be there if you decide you'd like to. And if you'd
like to be a part of the podcast, please join us!! We would love to
have you...
Thank you again for all the support. The response as been amazingly
positive and very humbling...
I hope to talk with all very soon...
Love and Laughs,
Neil (the freaK)
