Rob’s Roadtrip Radio

Thinking about going to the big show, and then explaining the format of TPIDTY for those who can’t remember (ha, who would have a clue after all this time? nobody?), being so rusty I forgot the word soliloquy, and controlling the weather, and where I used to live and live now, and my perspective on a fellow I almost know who got in a ski accident, and remembering how Uncle Bill left us and how God was good to me that day.

Bible verse of the day is Acts 5:11

Featuring more bootleg music (and seeing my previous episode it’s a habit oops) being enjoyed a lot lately because we’re gonna go see the band soon, whoot, and explaining I had to recover the file system so as to continue providing the audio content that rather is supposed to drive the project, ouch, and then into Obama’s initial statements addressing Parliament, along with thoughts about Acts 5 and speaking at my church, and God, and recording this ep, and my new BlackBerry, along with Imagine and Facebook, and U2 setlists, then Audacity fun (which BTW is irrelevant, 1.3.13 works fine and the task at hand is easy speedy) and getting back in the groove of producing.

Back in the Groove

Wherein Rob fires up the podcast machine for another for another season, which begins with by explaining having too much time to sit around and work on such projects, and includes some nice car time with his loveliest talking about a song by a band best not mentioned in the show notes because he hasn’t secured permission to include such song or band (who might not care since the music was double MP3 compressed and cannot be taken seriously as anyone’s idea of a “keeper” so what the heck) and coincidentally features a mention of horses even as we passed a familiar appaloosa auto, then includes a tester recording using the iPhone earbuds microphone, and another tester with a new bluetooth headset where there’s actually some content (about Facebook and stuff), and then quits while he’s ahead?

[I'll call it a teaser since this isn't my normal format, mostly about just getting restarted with the publishing action 2 years later (to the day mind you)]

Teaser

Be the truth: speak truth, living truth, dealing truth. [actually it was: Be the truth: speaking truly, living truly, dealing truly... I was just doing well to grab anything to use as the part I didn't know when I recorded the RRR ep].

The big idea of this one is to ask God to take the sting away from those haunting memories… basically He seems willing to forgive you for past sins and allow you to forgive yourself.

[More confusion for the listener but soon it will all make sense... no time for more just now.]

Remove the Sting

Bible verse of the day is Romans 8:1-2.

Wherein Rob spews idle chitchat about the weather, snow in the mountains, teaser about an episode I really need to mix and publish, some banter with The Driver; thoughts on infrastructure and the St. John’s Bridge. Also a quick mention of the Lewis & Clark Bridge and a passing glance at the Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge; and outta here.

Shout out to my buddy “Earl”. [So much for Sunday or Monday, I mixed this in the car on Tuesday... and I ended up mixing it in the car, with another driver at the wheel. And I won't even tell you about how hard it was to get the file uploaded and posted. Sigh.]

Keeping it Real

(9/6) Bad audio, will have to fix it. If you can read this you’ve probably noticed I missed a beat, but will make it right… any minute now.

(9/7) Fixed! Bleh, I need to put more attention on my toolkit.

Give it a listen and my comments will make better sense. I will definitely split the channels up. And create new branding and the like. I did get locked out, but had my car keys and so I went to Dr. Bart’s house just a short drive away and spent the night with my cousin. And then the next day I came back in (same clothes as yesterday) and worked a little, and then went home early. OK so who’s ever heard of twins being born a year apart? That’s crazy talk isn’t it? ha ha. Sort of like podcasting having two fathers. Shout out to Dave Winer!

Wherein Rob clicks record, talks, and uploads his first anniversary show: smoking update and a story from the past, and stuff. [Insert Google Map links here to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Strawberry Point, Iowa]

Shout out to Adam Curry and Tony Walker.

[Also I'll add that our podcast buddy Dave Slusher just hit 3 years on his show, nicely done Dave!]

Bible verse of the day is Ecclesiastes 6:11

My thanks to the first year listeners who sent me feedback. Public commenters include (in chronological order): Neal, Leisa, Kyle, Vinny, Jim, PO8, Alina, K Marie, Josh, and Owen. Also I need to work through the email archives as there is another group of folks who didn’t leave public comments… and perhaps even one or two that heard an ep and provided feedback only in person. It’s all good.

Bible verse of the day is Psalm 139:13-16.

Wherein Rob starts early and begins recording while waiting for summer day camp to open so he can drop off “Fireboy” [and too bad I didn't bring the other microphone, you can barely hear the lad] and then commences to rambles on his way to the freeway; some meta-talk about podcasting and such; shares experience (and an audio clip) from the first album purchase he’s made in a long time, and the first from iTMS; PodioBooks hooking me up with Eastern Standard Tribe; an interesting point Mr. Doctrow shared with me on DRM, and misc thoughts on the end of this bad idea, and bad grooves in my brain (heh); feedback (yay!) [and darn it, I knew I was making a mistake last time to speed it up], thanks RevGum, thanks KMarie [oops and some meta talk about production]; some clips from Psych, including a new catch phrase you can work into conversation; raining in August, who would have thought?; and I’m out [end of this ep, which is about an experiment and not an experience, doh] and a final thought or two about RSS [get Juice!]; [and I got to training class 5 minutes early, good plan came together].
