The Rambling Man Podcast

Episode #2 "Wandering The Backroads"

My new podcast is called "The Rambling Man".
Rambling in the sense of a guy that Talks & Talks as well as Rambling in the sense that the show is sometime recorded when out out rambling around and wandering through life.
Today I'm rambling about wandering the back roads as the season turns to fall.

The Dog Days.

Have I mentioned I'm doing a Podcast ?
Well I am.  It's part of the Dog Days of podcasting,  which is a group of people that challenege themselves to make a podcast everyday during August.
I heard about the Dog Days when it was mentioned on one of the podcasts that I regularly listen too.
I though "that's a cool odea, I should try that"  and then didn't.  Not that year or the next. Finally this year as it was approaching I was determined to give it a try.

I thought about a few different titles and formats and went back and for , then decided on the title "My Commute" using the idea of talking about commuting while, commuting as a loose framework to really talk about what every I want.  But, it's usually connected to what I'm doing.or what's going on. Each day's cover art is also a photo I've taken.  Often taken on the parkway &  usually on the same day of the recording.

The Dog Days Of Podcasting Challenge ends at the end of the week. Most of the participants will wrap up their Dog Dags shows and some will go back to  their "regularly scheduled podcasts".
I don't have a regular show to go back to or continue with, but I don't really want to stop doing shows.

So, what I'm hoping to do is transition from the dog days into a new podcast. Sort of transform this show into something I can do once a week through the fall and winter and see how I feel about it in the spring.

That about all I can say for now about the new show is that it will have a new name, probably have  a weekly(ish) schedule and is likely to be at least a little longer than the 5 minutes long.

There's still lots to figure out & try out before I commit to any of the defeatist.
The immediate plan is the keep doing "My Commute" Daily into the first week of September (maybe a bit longer)  while I figure out what the new show will be like.

If your interested in the "My Commute"  Podcast there are links below.   It's a first attempt and ti's all on location at the side of the road & river.
So,  it's pretty rough.
But,  I think it's become almost tolerable.

PoTd -

Pic-of-The-day

It's Back ! I wish I could say "Back by popular demand", but it's back.  Mostly because I haven't been posting enough and PoTd is a little more stream lined than some other types of posts.

Starting with a photo & adding a description & maybe a bit of background is usually more straight forward than looking around the world and coming up with something to write about, then writing, then editing, & then making a photo or graphic to go with the writing.

That being said I do hope to do some posts that are more focused on the writing than the images . I might even get around to some posts About writing or at least what I'm writing.   I'm hoping to get back to work on a script I was working on as a writing exercise/practice. If that happens I also hope to put some progress updates and possibly samples here on the blog.

PoTd - September 30

Pic-of-The-day

Pic-of-The-day - "Sign Post".

River lane is one of the lanes/allies in my neighbourhood.   They started out life as the way to get to the "service entrance" of  "Grand" houses. Now some of them have houses facing out on the them, but are still used for those grand houses.

These days the houses seem a little less 'grand' then they might have, & the back entrances are used more for convenience that for keeping up appearances.

PoTd - September 29 | The Photographer

Pic-of-The-day

Pic-of-The-day - "The Photographer" or "The Tourist in Red"

I was out on a walk taking some shots & getting some practice (& content for this blog, as well as Flickr & Twitter) when the red sweater & hat caught my attention. She was taking photos and leaning on the wall, I liked the composition of the vertical bridge supports in the back & the trees in the mid ground. Once she started walking it all fell into place.
