Game shows and childhood dreams
Hi 2010!
So I've been working non-stop over my holiday break on this podcast game show of mine. I've been wanting to create game shows since I was a little kid and got the idea back in the Bacon Salt days to be very guerrilla and new media about this whole thing and get a podcast going. And I've been talking about this podcast for years. One day, my lovely husband said, "You know. You've got the talking part done." So I started doing it.
I've edited two episodes almost fully, have a good cut on the third episode, taped a fourth one, lining up contestants for the fifth one, and have answers written and ready to go for the sixth one. This pursuit has taken up almost all of my free time. If I spend time with friends, it really can't be for more than an hour. My social life has diminished and my waistline has grown for ditching the gym for a dream at game show stardom.
(When I envision myself as a game show magnate, I saw myself as skinny and pretty. At this point, I'm choosing surgery and not self-control.)
I was thinking about putting my thoughts about producing game shows or working with GarageBand in this post and actually making it educational or valuable or at least entertaining to read. But I suspect not a soul reads my LJ anymore which is fine by me.
If any of you want to know more, the first episode is tentatively scheduled for release on Wednesday January 6 on iTunes and the website (URL TBD). The game is super-fun to play. If you want to play it, please please please leave me a comment. No money is involved. We're lower budget than NPR.
