Podding it Downtown

Spare time sucked away by the Podarazzi project recently. Getting whisked around downtown Manhattan with Flickr Star Kara to capture her verbal musings was superb: a part of town I don’t often spend time in and have never really explored at night, and Omeyisland is my-kind-of-mind, entertaining company. Architecturally olds versus new, light versus dark, short versus tall – contrasts innit.

Being somewhat clueless on the interview and digital editing front, it’s been a tough journey capturing verbiage and reducing the 90+ minutes of recorded sound down to a palatable quarter of an hour. Steep learning curve and a fat time investment, but things will get easier with next few interviews (lined up over next three weeks). Already know how to make both content and editing life easier on several fronts. Am looking forward to the comparison between different subjects’ perspectives on NYC photolife.

First podcast itself is slowly coming together having sampled Podarazzi Prima, Anth, and her introductory voice-overs. Again, it’s tricky getting things ‘right’ first time around while compiling the whole show, takes a pound of flesh, and time gets sucked down the pipe of rehash. Creative dribblings are leaking nicely though, there’s a good slice of new background birdw0rks moosak and daft verbal links, and we’re going to end up with something that’s original and hopefully of interest to others.

On the T. knee front, the Fleeciethang is moving around easier and has The Stitch taken out tomorrow. Physiotherapy & regular flapping in the pool should right things before too long, hopefully.
