y'all know i used to be in radio. and by "in" i mean "worked at a student run commercial station" (key word being commercial). i had wanted to further my radio career when i moved to the big city, but, if you know me, you also know my path changed... starting after i interviewed at Jacor and their willingness to pay me less than a retail chocolate-schlepping job for about a billion times more stress.

and you all can see where that line of work went.

at any rate, i've missed radio and party/club djing. a lot. and, had my computer not died, i'd be doing some podcasting work of my own right now.

it is coming. seriously. the gang from the alumni site I run is on board with a plan to start podcasting from that site, complete with music and archived commercials and on-air talent from days gone by.

now, in the meantime, my friend anthony has been podcasting for a few weeks. last week, he moved into his new home, and was too busy to actually record one. but, he had asked around to see if anybody had a mixing board, and i did. it wasnt getting any use, and i thought "why not donate it." so, i took it over to his new place as a housewarming gift, and we ended up recording a belated weekly podcast with a substitute crew.

the first time i listened to it, i thought "wow, i dont sound too bad." the second time i listened to it, i thought, "damn, i need to shut the fuck up." and finally, i just think i need to find a balance.

balance is good.

i might start making an appearance occasionlly on these things, now that he's only about 10 minutes away. but i think i might stick to what i was best at: producing.
