Should I Podcast?

I have the equipment, and for me having that is like an open door inviting me in. I like writing, but I also like talking. Many years ago I went to college and for the first two years I focused on broadcasting and writing, so I like to think that if I talked I might be not be terrible. There was also a time about seven years ago when my blog was very well trafficked on a daily basis.

If I did podcast, what would I talk about? Probably the exact same goofy stuff that I do here. I’ve done some great interviews over the last 19 years and I’ve always thought that those would have been more compelling if they could be heard rather than read.

You are obviously reading me right now, so if you’re a podcast person, would you subscribe and listen to me say all this stuff when you’re driving around in your car? What if I just did videos on Youtube and put them in here? Would you listen or watch that? Or do you prefer reading?

Are either of those logos appealing to you? If you saw either one, would the title and tag line make you curious? As I’ve been typing this, I’ve realized that it seems inevitable that I will try myself out as a podcast. I’ll never leave here. I will probably just expand to different outlets to find a wider audience. Not that you guys and gals aren’t great, because you are. I love my regulars that read and comment. Without you, I wouldn’t have the confidence to put myself out there on video or audio outlets.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for reading! ~Phil

  1. If you want to do it, then do it.

  2. I would deffo listen, especially if it were paranormal-themed!

  3. Read Make Noise by Eric Nuzum and just dive right in, if you have a passion for your topic. Blog readers mostly aren’t podcast listeners, so why ask us?
