Introducing the “Thoughts & Tribulations from a Compulsive Creator” Podcast
Hi, this is Numeric Citizen, and you are listening to a pilot episode of the upcoming podcast Thoughts and Tribulation from a Compulsive Creator.
This episode, this is episode number minus one, where I’m testing the podcast hosting feature of the excellent blog hosting service, Microblog.
This podcast is one of my many creative projects.
You might know that I’m a blogger here on Microblog, but elsewhere too, I probably have way too many websites, and I also share photos on two photo sharing platforms, Glass, and I started sharing photos more recently on Pixel Fed, which I like a lot.
This episode aims to test the publishing process to Microblog and how it goes out in a podcast player like PocketCast.
Depending on the outcome following the publication of this pilot episode, I’ll make adjustments and try another one, which should be episode number zero.
I expect to make this podcast available on Apple’s platform sooner than later, and I expect each episode to be no more than five minutes in length.
For those who are curious, recording is done using Ferrite, the excellent audio recording app for the iPhone and the iPad.
I’m recording that on my iPhone 13 Pro with a Lavalier microphone.
I’m not sure if I’m pronouncing it correctly, though.
Most of what you’ll be listening to in the future shouldn’t be scripted, but if it is scripted, I’ll be using cue cards built with IE Presenter from the makers of the excellent text editor, IE Writer, and I intend to keep post-editing to a minimum to keep the burden of podcast production at the minimum level.
Now, a few questions.
How many podcasts can Hearth sustain?
Why create another one?
Who cares?
Well, I don’t need to find an answer to this question.
I’ll do it anyway.
I’m not expecting to publish on a regular basis, only when I feel something is worth sharing about my everlasting creative journey using apps, services, and different devices, and when the audio format is the best for the content I want to share.
I think Podcast Medium is suitable for sharing some in-the-moment thoughts, and I feel it fits perfectly my microblog’s mission.
I think it could be a great complement to my blogs, too.
It’s not my first experience with podcasting.
I did have one in French a while ago, but it didn’t take off.
It required way too many takes and took way too much post-processing editing.
I had enough after only 15 episodes.
You can no longer find those episodes on the web.
That’s pretty much it for this pilot episode.
Don’t be shy and share your thoughts or comments on microblog, Mastodon, and BlueSky, where this is cross-posted thanks to microblog’s cross-posting feature.
Thanks for listening to the whole episode.
Either you’re just curious, or even better, you care about what I’m doing here in cyberspace.
Please, in this world constantly in crisis and in a state of emergency, take care until the next episode.
Bye.
