we podcast, do you?

when i was in 6th grade or so i had a 'gotcha' t-shirt that had a picture an elderly couple and a caption that read, 'we surf, do you?' well, i dont surf. if i was cool, i would surf. i have surfed, but not enough or consistently enough to say that i surf. since i dont surf, i podcast (makes sense right?). we podcast. dave and i. we started a podcast. is it good? well, no. probably not. we just discuss awkward things that happen in our lives. we had the idea one day and so we started doing it. we have recorded three, but only two are up on itunes. we have had some struggles with our editor (dave) going on strike (being busy at work) and refusing to put them up. but i just thought i would just let people know. much like when i started this blog, im hesitant to really tell people. i want people to read the blog and enjoy it, like i want them to listen to the podcast. but we really do it because we find it fun and entertaining. this isnt an attempt to start a career in podcasting, like the blog wasnt an attempt to start a career in writing. i enjoy writing and its cool to have a forum where you can put it out there for everyone to read, even though only a few do actually read it. podcasting is the same way i suppose. we publish it so that its 'real' and more than just a phone conversation between dave and i, but we really just do it for our enjoyment. and because nellie totally digs it. she loves being married to a podcaster.

anyways, enough trying to justify it or explain my way out of it. i should just own it. im a dork. we're dorks. we podcast. if you care to listen, its up on itunes. open up itunes. on the left part of itunes, click on itunes store. once it opens, click on 'podcasts' on the left. you can then search for it. its called '5 minutes of silence.' you can also search 'dave and kent' and it will come up. the second 'episode' is better than the first. not that the second one is brilliant or anything. just better in my opinion. granted i dont guarantee anything brilliant or that you will even enjoy it. youll probably be bored out of your mind or think its really lame, which is fine. it wasnt meant for you anyways.

I've wanted to start a podcast but don't have anything to podcast about -- I'll download yours and give you an awesome rating.

I really do dig it. Nothing like listening to a live session. Podcasters unite!

something weird about running with 5 minutes of silence on my ipod. it's like you guys are there, just laughing a lot, running with me. tear. btw, kent, i am down in LA for ~5-6 days beginning the 20th. we should hang out.
