Dial-A-Pod! ... (607) CALL-POD!!

I'm not sure why I didn't post about this last week when we did the "pilot" episode but today, it's official—I've got a new weekly podcast with my good friend Meys. I guess it's not technically weekly until it happens at least twice. I'm not sure.

Anyway, episode 1 came out today and can be listened to the normal way (for this show): by calling us at (607) 225-5763. That's right!! That number again is (607) CALL-POD. The tagline I've come up with is "The podcast that's just a phone call away!"... because it is. But also! I didn't want the episodes to entirely disappear forever as new episodes appear on the hotline every Friday. So, as of today, the archive feed can be found here dialapod.net and also all other podcast apps (besides Spotify (fuck Spotify)). You can check out the aforementioned pilot episode there now. You can only leave voicemails on the phone line and it just feels better to listen that way IMO so that's what I would recommend! But I'm biased.

If you find yourself asking "why do this?", well, there are a few reasons. And I'm glad you asked. Come on in, I just made some iced tea. Basically, when I get a good enough idea, it's hard not to text Meys about it. If he's also really into it, it's quite easy to just try it out. Then, if we find it's really fun to do? Well, there you go. The pilot went well as a test balloon and everyone went nuts for our balloon. Tons of voicemails left for episode 1! I had to save a bunch for the next ep (that's episode in the biz (that's business in most businesses)), and that's with this week's edition being 10 minutes longer than planned. It is astounding how we got so many good voicemails and that they sound perfectly fine re-broadcast over the phone line. My best friend's help and stellar effort on the co-hosting/technical front makes the show really sing.

I'm already so into this project that I've got stickers made to send to people. Stickers! You know something's serious when stickers get made. Plus, I'll be interviewing Meys for next week's edition of Very Little News, so there's some great ~synergy~ happening here at NickyCorp.

For some reason, I think this show can get big. Like, big enough that we panic about the phone bill. That would be a REALLY fun problem to have so please call and leave us messages. Save (607) CALL-POD in your contacts and call back for new episodes every Friday :-)
