TCR Podcast - Episode 2

As I wrote in my previous post, I'm continuing with the making of the awful podcasts for a little while - and here's the second one right here! I have to apologize for the atrocious sound quality (and general quality) - I'll really try to do much better for the next one. Incidentally, the next podcast will probably come up either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Unless it's Wednesday. Anyway, on this podcast, I talk about my plan for the blog, the debut of FX's Terriers, have a dumb conversation with myself about ratings, touch on the new Thermals album (their music is featured today), and rapidly talk about some things I've been meaning to get to for over a month. Enjoy!

New Plan - It's Like a Blog, but Without the Reading!

Hello, all you fine people that read my blog! I feel as if I've been treating you wrong lately, and that just pains me so deep. So I've decided to try to make it up to you. No, I didn't get you candy, or chocolate, or flowers, or a nice little card with a cute animal saying "sowwy" on it. No, only the best for my readers: You get to listen to me prattle on about things on a regular podcast!

Some of my more jaded (imaginary) followers might be thinking, Hey, didn't this asshole say he was gonna do a regular podcast like a month ago, and then fail? Well, fucker, I suppose you're technically correct. But I'm still treating this as good news because I think I've figured out a way where I can still have a tiny amount of content posted regularly, at least enough that I can justify still bothering with this blog. Here's the deal: I'm at college right now, and while I'm definitely not an incredibly busy person, most of my free time is consumed by either schoolwork or doing things with my boyfriend. If I felt extremely motivated, I could pretty easily find the time to upload a new post probably like 4-6 times per week for The Casualty Report, but I feel like that's just not enough for me to do everything justice (especially considering fall TV season is heating up). However, I still want to be able to contribute something to the blog. So, I polled the best and brightest minds in science and, after an in-depth review of their responses, I've determined that TCR will now be taking the form of a (roughly once or twice a week) podcast.

This doesn't mean I won't occasionally write some good old-fashioned words for whatever nerds out there that still "read" things, but I won't be writing much. I'll probably have a good deal of time over the holidays to write, so I'll probably do some best-of-the-year lists and midseason check-ins on the TV shows I've been following. In the meantime, however, check back every now and then for some poorly-made and mind-numbingly boring podcasts!
