Pod Camp Nashville Notes

NVanReece — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:15:00 +0000

Wow.

I have a bug for radio. I spent five years in broadcast radio in Texas and Oklahoma in the 1980s I studied broadcasting while at university. I listen to about 10 hours of podcasts a week. So why not do one of my own? Thank you Pod Camp for pushing me closer to making that happen. I hope that my “random rants from an artist, activist and advocate” can go to audio or maybe video soon! – I’m hoping for the Flip camera for my birthday next week.

My Favorite Free Podcasts

I hear them on the treadmill, I hear them when I’m painting, I hear them in the car, I hear them at my desk at work, they put me to sleep at night — I think they reveal a lot about me!

What do you listen to – any suggestions?

I do love me my Ipod Nano. I use it to help me pass the time when on the treadmill and I use it to listen to my jams at work and I use it to listen to podcasts!

If you’ve never heard This American Life, our staff’s favorite shows page provides a great introduction to what we do. You might want to start there. After a few episodes, we’re sure you’ll figure it out. Or, if you’re looking for a written introduction, here goes:One of our problems from the start has been that when we try to describe This American Life in a sentence or two, it just sounds awful. For instance: each week we choose a theme and put together different kinds of stories on that theme. That doesn’t sound like something we’d want to listen to on the radio, and it’s our show.So usually we just say what we’re not. We’re not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. We’re not really formatted like other radio shows at all. Instead, we do these stories that are like movies for radio. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.
