I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about the “Podcasting as a Punchline” thing. I’ve only been doing this since last year, and already enjoy it — for all its problems and pitfalls — more than anything else I’ve ever taken up in my spare time. It’s a medium that’s so open to experimentation, and it’s really a shame that folks dismiss it with laughter and mean spirits. I think you’re right: so many people thought it was going to bring them money and fame, and what they didn’t realize the whole time was that it is something to be thought of as a hobby, which should bring happiness first and foremost to the person broadcasting, and then to the small but devoted fan base who appreciates podcasting — for genuine reasons — as much as the artist. Needless to say, I love this show, and I would probably not be inspired to keep doing it and trying to get better at it without all the moral support at the Overnightscape Underground. Thanks again!
