Babe, do you think I could be a Podcast Producer?
(Chuckles) You’re suddenly thinking of producing podcasts? Just because I said I did that for only a few episodes?
Yes… I want to be able relate to you. Also, I’m inspired!
How is that inspirational? You’ve been on countless podcasts, those hosts never inspired you to give it a go, yourself?
(Shaking head) I didn’t think about it until you mentioned it, really… I don’t know, they just weren’t inspiring experiences. I was just on autopilot.
Yeah… well… you certainly already have the skill set. It wouldn’t be that hard. I guess it would just take up some of your time? Do you have that time?!
(Nodding) Gym bro era is already boring me.
(Laughing) Yeah… I was wondering how long that would last…
I mean, I can actually do both. I still have the time, yes. When I’m away from you. And I’m staying away from alcohol now. I want something else to do.
Okay then?! Well… what do you want to talk about with a Podcast?
Talk about…?
Well, yeah, you have to have something to SAY if you want to start a Podcast? (Chuckles) Otherwise you’re just a DJ making playlists for listening, that’s not a Podcast.
Hmm… what do I want to talk about…? I feel like I want to talk about you…
(Chuckles) I don’t think you’ll be allowed to do that… what about love? Maybe that’s the topic you want to talk about… Actually, there’s so many “straight dude” podcasts and I feel like it’s just a bunch of men sitting around like the girls in Sex and the City trying to figure it all out…
(Laughing) Yeah… sort of…
Do you want to show your face on the Podcast? Do you want to talk to your bros about it? Do you want to host it with them?!
(Shaking head) Not… really… I think I just want this as a separate personal project… I mean, if they also feel inspired and want to do a separate kind of podcast — that would be another staff producing it, not me. And I don’t really care, I’ll just go along with what the rest of the bros say to do with that project.
I see. So you need something that’s “yours” — it can live on even if the contract with the bros might end one day…
(Eyes lighting up) Yes! That’s what I want!!!
Well… maybe music, too, right? You’re a musician. You’re a music expert. You’re a music expert, who’s also obsessed with love… so… maybe something along those lines? And you don’t have to show your face. You could even hire an animator — maybe even Dead Sound himself?! — You can have animations as your visuals so you don’t actually show your face. But you can invite other people onto the podcast. I don’t know if you’ll want a voice filter, I don’t know how incognito you want to go with it. But if you feel like talking… about music, about love… and you have other guests?
Maybe I’ll invite other celebrities incognito too, and then we just get Dead Sound to animate us as random characters…
(Chuckles) I have no idea if that’ll work. I guess you really have to flesh it out. Plan a first season, map it out. Pencil in some dates. Contact your potential guests. Pitch them these ideas… it’s a lot to coordinate. Nothing that you can’t already do. You have the skill set. You definitely have the skills to produce your own podcast. You have the equipment, too. Easy. Done. You can do it, baby! Anything you want. (Just end the first season when you’re ready to come see me!) xoxoxoxoxox
