Now if you actually listen to this thing after I’ve done a pretty good job of dissuading you, I’m sorry. This is my first attempt at doing a podcast, and while it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, there’s a lot to work out before it reaches any level of quality that I’m proud of. My only consolation is when I think of my first cartoos I posted, and how much they sucked.I am curious how many other bloggers out there have tried podcasting? What did you think? Was it fun? A waste of time and you’d rather type? I’m actually enjoying it although it took me forever to finally figure out how to get my mic to work. Finally I ordered a Tapco MIX100 10 channel mixer, which I’m now realizing was probably overkill, but it’s really nice in that I can control the volume of the input. I also noticed (after it was too late to change) that one of the reasons I can’t listen to NPR is the mouth noises and I ended up with my fair share in this record. My apologies. But hey, what’s life if you don’t try something new. And it’s late. And a person shouldn’t probably try to make their first podcast at 10:00 at night….but hey.

Here’s the audio file. Take a listen. Tell me what you think - if you care to. I’m open to comments. If you don’t care to listen though, here’s a quick rundown of what the podcast contains.

1 - For Portlanders there’s an Obama for America Kickoff this Saturday to get out the vote. Address is 3016 SE Division St.

2 - Paul - I’ll let you think you won :). BTW I enjoyed the dialogue.

3 - I read a bit from Bertrand Russell’s “Why I’m not a Christian” essay

4 - No Paul, I take it back, if you listened to me read that dull essay, then I won.

5 - Then I have some fun with Hillary’s Bosnia sniper fire gaff.

And that’s about it. It’s kind of fun. I’m a huge talk radio fan, especially of The Ed Schultz Show, and based on the quality of his show, I know this production ranks way below at somewhere around … well I’d prefer not to say.
