Outcast – Episode 20

Outcast - Episode 20 [ 42:52 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
So, after over a year’s hiatus, ‘Outcast’ is back with Chapter 20. If you’ve been following this blog up to this point, you know that 2011 was a rather busy year for me from a personal standpoint. It’s never easy to focus on the things you love when everything else in your life suddenly [...]

New Media Evangelism

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Years ago, I started a podcast that was more of a rant show than anything else. I considered it both a test to work out any production bugs in my audio setup prior to podcasting ‘Outcast,’ and as a way to blow off steam during a time when awareness was being raised about how entertainment [...]

The Little Fish gets the nod from the Shark

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Let’s face it, podcasting is a very niche market. Podcasting a novel, it seems, is a niche within a niche. You’re already in a limiting market and, let’s be honest here, most people listen to podcasts for reasons other than listening to someone narrate a novel. I think that’s why when people in the podcast [...]

Good News

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Well, it’s good news for me from a medical standpoint, anyway. The procedure went extremely well, and moreover the doctor who ordered the angiogram in the first place told me whatever obstruction that he’d originally detected in the MRI and CT scans is no longer there. His only conclusion is that whatever it was, my [...]

Long Overdue Update

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

I realize that one of the main purposes of blogging is to jot down your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. For some, it’s a personal venting apparatus, allowing us to push out the white noise that life continuously throws at you. Whether it be from your personal or professional life (or both), stress has a way [...]

Happy Anniversary…Sorta

Friday, January 21st, 2011

If you were to approach and ask 100 podcasters of ANY stripe (author, host, critic, etc.) to name 10 people who inspired them to get behind the microphone and take that plunge into podcasting, I’d bet one name in particular would be among the most common: Tee Morris. Admittedly for me, he was maybe number [...]

Outcast – Episode 19

Well, after FAR too long, at long last here is episode 19 of ‘Outcast.’ As always, thanks to all of you who’ve held out and held on for me to get this done. To be honest, were it not for your feedback and encouragement, I would probably never have gotten off my butt and [...]

State of the Podcast

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

So as you may know by now, given my relative silence as of late, things in the ‘Outcast’ world have been pretty chaotic. It’s a little difficult to get your writing groove on when everything around you seems to demand some kind of attention, or leaves you with such a bitter taste in your mouth [...]

The Podcasting Curse

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Ok, anyone who wants to line up and take potshots at me for this one, please do so. Skeptics over on the right, right-wing conservatives over there, and everyone else form a third line right here. All right…everyone comfortable? Good. I’m not sure if I’m just the unluckiest S.O.B. when it comes to podcasting, or [...]

Stoked and a little Stupid

Hello Outcasts. Just a quick update on things here. First off, as usual, thank you all for your patience and continued support as I work towards the home stretch on ‘Outcast.’ I can finally see the end now…just a little further and it’ll be done. I’ve purposely been a little gun-shy about posting a [...]
