I literally have scores of blog posts about my film podcasting adventures that I’ve yet to publish. For nearly two years now, I have been co-hosting the Family Pictures Podcast, and we’re closing fast on 80 episodes. This spring I started a second podcast, Couch to 4K, with Mike Caulfield. It’s like watching and talking about movies is my new day job, and I love it. The only issue is I’m not feeding nearly enough of that back into the bavablog, and that pains me to no end. Somehow I feel that if I haven’t blogged about it it never really happened. All this despite the fact that there are more than 90 recorded episodes between the two shows that argue the opposite. The episodes for Family Pictures Podcast get published thanks to my partner in crime MBS, he knows I’m fairly useless and even keeps me around despite my deep, heartfelt loathing of Moonstruck. It’s taken a bit, but I finally think Mike Caulfield is realizing that if he wants the other 11+ episodes we’ve recorded to live on the web, he needs to take over the production duties. I did produced and publish the first two episodes on our Youtube channel, which are pretty solid. But then I went on vacation for 3 weeks to Sardegna and I never wanted to come back. I was ready to throw it all away and live the life of a retired beach bum. But reality set in and I realized I can’t afford to retire. So back to the podcasting grind which, oddly enough, pays me nothing! All this to say I need to break out of my not-blogging-about-movies rut, and to accomplish that I’m following Tim Klapdor’s lead and joining the Blaugust movement so that I can break the blogjam around my film podcasts. I don’t really need an excuse to blog, but I like the idea of locking in for the next month and finally pushing myself to write about all the stuff I have watched and discussed over the last months. I’ve wrote about the Family Pictures Podcast in fits and starts on the bava, but I need to fly my film freak flag with far more rigor. Baton the hatches, bitches!
