If you haven’t been paying attention, then you probably don’t know about my new podcast, the Super Terrific Talk Show. It’s a weekly show that I do alongside my co-host Pete and we ramble on about various subjects that neither of us are experts on. In fact, we know nothing about everything…or so says the tag line of the show.
anyhow, we’re now three episodes, or weeks, into the show and i cannot begin to explain how much fun i’m having doing this show. it’s almost like reliving the WMTH days, which to me were probably the highlight of high school. alright, maybe it’s not like that, but finally broadcasting again after so many years of wanting to do so just makes me feel really good. and now that we’re on the world’s largest online music distribution service, iTunes, millions of people can potentially listen to the show. That just boggles my mind.
Yesterday I received a phone call from a very good friend of mine who was listening to the show while he was having his run. are you kidding me? as insignificant as this may seem to you, the fact that while he’s working out, instead of listening to something that will pump him up, he’s listening to me talk about my love of Big Macs. Allow me to also mention that this friend of mine lives across the country so our face to face time isn’t what it use to be, but i’m sure he found out about the show through twitter, or facebook.
both of those services also have millions of users. probably a lot of them have iTunes as well, and an iPod or a Zune. that of which both support podcasts. which are free. do you see what i’m getting at. i’m getting vay-ner-chuk-ee. the power of twitter and facebook and maybe one day digg, has the potential to help the audience for the Super Terrific Talk Show to grow from 20-40 listeners a week, to 100, or 1,000 or 10,000 listeners a week.
it’s pretty incredible where we are at with this internet thing right now. we have a lot of free tools to promote ourselves, our products, or causes, etc… it’s amazing! well, maybe it’s terrific… super terrific.
in a few hours i will be boarding a plane heading to madrid. yes i have been to madrid before, but never for this reason. when i reach madrid, i will go ahead and board yet another plane just hours after landing and will then be heading towards Athens. And just a few hours after that I will be boarding yet another plane, yes another plane, towards the island of Limnos.
if you recall back in january, i was in cape town south africa and my sister had a baby. well just six months later we are all together again and heading to greece, the island of Limnos to baptize that child. Anastasia Danae will be baptized, I will be on holiday for the second or third time this year and I cannot be more excited about it!
of course it means laying in the sun on a beautiful beach. yes it means being with family and in the country your ancestors are from. it’s all of that and more! it’s all of that PLUS! i get to blog again! Do you remember? I use to blog quite often when i was in cape town at the beginning of the year. in fact, this whole blog, helloBos.com, was created while i was in cape town.
so does this mean i will be blogging everyday…probably not. but it does mean that i will have so much to say AND i will have so many photos to share, so you should probably keep up with me.
i am not quite sure what the internet situation will be for me, but i know this much. where there is iPhone, there is helloBos.
cheers & all the best!
