Hmm, in the vein of “Anything public radio can do, Apple can do better,” here are a few words about Apple’s interest in “original podcasts” and competing with Spotify.
Spotify? Wasn’t that yesterday’s news? Ah, but then, so were podcasts.
Let’s take a look:
Audio series are now officially the current “next big thing,” so we here at TVWriter™ thought we’d devote today to articles explaining what the shouting’s all about.
We agree, by the way, with the general thought that audio’s day has come, but we also can’t keep from wondering, “Why the hell does the Old/Big Media gang insist on referring to recent developments as podcasts?”
What’re you geezers hiding, huh? Huh?
So tell us, know-it-alls (you know who you are) did you know this?
Memo to selves: Great talent does not necessarily a great project – or even a so-so collaboration – make.
Performance anxiety for the young and fit. (WTF…?)
You’ll see.
There’s always a period of time before I start a project where I’m afraid of what I’m about to do. I’ll have everything planned out– unless it’s one of those woah where’d you come from, let’s get you over with quickly then, ideas– and I’ll be excited to get to work so I can see my quiet thoughts live and in colour in front of me. Except, the closer I get to my start date, the more I balk.
Eliciting a reader’s feelings is the name of the game. And it’s way more effective – and responsible – than manipulating them.
Can I ask you a question? Since I can’t really hear you, I’m going to, anyway: Why do you write?
To inspire? To critique, teach, or motivate? To remember (or forget)? For self-expression? Because you have a fire burning in your bones, and you simply must?
