The Pod Files - Friday 17 March 2023

 


Friday is always a difficult one. This was made more so by things in my personal life being very prominent in my thoughts after recent events.

Friday is a short on sleep day, so I was tired, and there was a phone call when I woke up that was a sort of 50/50 kind of call - good and bad.

I’m surprised that more pods weren’t listened to, but then I did have to listen back to my next episode of Pods Like Us, which I had recorded on Wednesday where myself and guest cohost Darren from My Guest List Pod spoke with Jared Carter, the creator of the fabulous audio drama Desert Skies.

What a crock of shit that was, and so is going from 49 to 50...  Someone asked me about it, saying “what’s it like to turn 50?” My answer was something along the lines of “like it’s a day after being 49!” I’ve still got thin hair on my head, with lots of grey therein. I still make the money at the same job, which I’ll probably still unfortunately be doing in a year when I’ll turn 51!  The changes that have happened recently have very little to do with that transition.  Or do they? I’ve mentioned before to people, particularly fellow podcasters, but I think also in my previous blog series (Ramblings of a Forty Something), that I had been thinking about doing some new things, because the then still a few months...
