It's Only Personal

I've been toying with the idea of starting a podcast. I did attempt this a couple of times a few years ago with "First Take Fridays" which was just spoken word but that didn't really take off did it?

No, I'm thinking about doing something a bit more personal, a bit more loose, a bit more raw. But this time I have to create a structured format beforehand. I want to interview people. I want to rant. I want to talk. There's plenty to talk about. But I have fears. I don't really have a desire to reveal myself or anyone else. But I can't be half assed either. If I'm going to be honest, I have to be honest all the way right?

Still, I think code names will probably be needed. LOL!

And a judgement buzzer. Because I judge. Even when I try not to, I do. so I need a judgement buzzer and a count of judgement buzzes just so I can judge my own judgmental tendencies and those of others.

I'm toying with the idea of  having a segment called "A moment of ignorance" in which I or any guest can feel safe in making totally and utterly ignorant speculations and observations about anything before bringing it back to the purpose of enlightenment and education. The terrible thing about ignorance is not it's existence but the systemic intent to pervasively communicate that's it's okay to remain ignorant. Everyone is in the dark about something, but you have to know you are before you can come out into the light. So let's have  moment of ignorance and then turn on the light. 

Don't you just love it already?

I have a lot of crap to get off my chest that's not always easy to tap away on a keyboard about. Most people have a constant internal dialogue running amok in their brains. I need to externalize mine before I explode. So this would also be cheap  therapy for me. Oooohh! I just like this idea more and more.

All I need is two mics.
