This week I took part in the third podcast I’ve been on in as many weeks for First Showing and Film Junk. I’m not entirely sure how this has all come about but it’s been a great, and interesting, experience. I’ve never been overly chatty in public, much more someone observing and listening, which is largely due to ingrained shyness on my part. Trying to overcome that and enjoy the opportunity to speak about what I love the most has been really useful, and although I’m not the most chatty guest hopefully that’s something I’ll overcome with time.
One thing that I’m very conscious of is making background noise, it’s a bizarre situation as usually you move, drink something, change position etc during a normal conversation, whereas during the two hours or so of the podcast you have to be acutely aware to make as little sound as possible, especially as my mic even seems to pick up the sound of my clock ticking in my room. This leads me to having to focus on something else whilst listening to what everyone is saying.
Last night seemed to create some sort of teen-textbook Jeff Bridges love-in in doodle form (I don’t ‘heart’ Bridges, I think it may have been my Tron excitement manifesting itself).
If you are so inclined the podcasts are here, here and here
