This is not the podcast I was planning to do, but it will have to do until I do what I intended.I used to do a podcast called Schnauzer Logic back when people would say, &#34;What&#39;s a podcast?&#34; Then I had an idea for a new podcast but got stuck and decided to try a different podcast and that fell apart too and now I&#39;m doing another podcast. But this was not the podcast I was planning to do.And people no longer ask, &#34;What&#39;s a podcast?&#34; but instead ask, &#34;What&#39;s it about?&#34;, and the answer to that question is much easier:This podcast is about me.Enjoy!

I had a plan to mark the 10th episode anniversary of my podcast with a special discussion that I actually planned in advance and just as I was heading into the studio there was a knock on my front door and my friend Kirsten was there for a surprise visit. So I invited her into the studio and she asked if we could record together and I said, Let&#39;s Try, and quickly set up a second mic and headphones and pressed Record. This is a bit rambling, but Kirsten is a vessel of positive energy masquerading as a human being, so take a listen. We&#39;ll be back to our regular monologue of complaints real soon now!

Episode 10 (where my friend Kirsten shows up unexpectedly)

Feels like every 5 months is a good time to record another episode of my weekly podcast. (Ewww...Ehhh...Ahhh...Insert Rodney Dangerfield Tugging At His Collar Emoji Here). But seriously folks, this feels like a good one. Fair amount of rambling (you love it!), and also talk about my guitar teacher calling me a &#34;Hobbyist&#34; (which is still bothering me) and a screenwriting coach saying I should have a one-woman-show. So swings and roundabouts. It&#39;s just under 30 minutes and better than listening to the jerk siting next to you on the train yell at his wife. Enjoy!

Episode 9 (Home of the Hobbyist)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/3/2/18/e16d4e7d-6933-44ab-891d-5d580ec1d8c0_episode_8__where_i_get_my_first__5_tip_.mp3

Three weeks in a row! (Great, kid! Don&#39;t get cocky.) This is all about my first time out as an Uber driver and a little about the anti-trans sh*tshow wrapped around Spitfire Audio and getting booted from a music composers FB group simply for saying I no longer felt welcome (thereby proving my point!). Also we have beautiful 3&#34; die cut stickers. Just drop me a note with your mailing address.

Episode 8 (where I get my first $5 tip)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/2/23/22/2d419d46-8d3b-4e0a-bc93-13f969d361ef_re_i_smack_my_lips_and_say__umm__way_too_much_.mp3

Full Disclosure: I&#39;d give myself a B- (grading on a curve) for this episode. Not only do I say uhh and umm and swallow and smack my lips an annoying amount, but I ramble for the first half and then don&#39;t even have the details on the shows I want to recommend in the second half. I&#39;ll do better because I want to do better, and if you decide to drop off early I&#39;ll understand. But don&#39;t worry... pretty soon there will be &#39;another one!&#39;

Episode 7 (where I smack my lips and say 'umm' way too much)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/2/16/20/df9508be-f294-4eed-8e24-bfcf85060aec_episode_6__where_we_realize_it_s_all_about_me_.mp3

It&#39;s a new episode. Lots of angst. Lots of insight. Some complaining about The White Lotus. If you like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing you&#39;ll like.

Episode 6 (where we realize it's all about me)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/11/12/0/2789e952-4283-4c58-8ccd-7178591805dc_not_the_podcast_-_episode_5_-_111122.mp3

I don&#39;t know how time passes so quickly (while that eggplant parmesan sandwich I had last weekend seems to still be hanging around), but here&#39;s a new episode. I thought I might talk about the sh*tshow that is Twitter or the amazing song parody I wrote of Sweet Child O&#39; Mine, which I transformed into Sweet Biodesign (I&#39;m the Weird Al of Academia!), but none of that happened and I still managed to talk for more than 30 minutes straight!New episodes coming soon(er). Promise!

Episode 5 (where I'm verified but still a fraud)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/10/26/20/3b046eb6-1b87-4c7e-b64f-2ff0f3b15d8e_not_the_podcast_-_episode_4_-_102622.mp3

Mental health issues... they&#39;re not just for breakfast! After a 2 month break (it&#39;s not you, it&#39;s me), an energetic if somewhat &#39;rough&#39; return to form. I talk a bit about cycling (no bike required) and triggers (no Lone Ranger required) and the parallels between mania and doing a podcast. I know this may sound heavy, but there&#39;s a lot of giggling (some even in appropriate places!).Oh, and Grain Churner is not a thing (yet...)

Episode 4 (where, much like the Jedi, I return)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/20/20/324ad2b7-9455-42c9-a92b-45f27ecb7549_not_the_podcast_-_episode_2_-_082022.mp3

Every day and in every way I&#39;m getting better and better... or at least a little less bad. We (and by &#39;we&#39; I mean &#39;me&#39;) flex a bit about doing some home electrical (and not getting electrocuted or starting a fire), and about why I decided to delete the Clubhouse app from my phone.

Episode 2 (where I'm in control and still run out of time)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/14/4/0f3559bd-b75c-4c7b-8ce2-b7e7ee1b5713_not_the_podcast_-_episode_1_-_081322.mp3

First actual episode, except for the last episode which was kind of an actual episode too. I talk about critical thinking vs empathy, needing to be able to root for fictional characters, and how to solve PI to 284 places using some toothpicks, a piece of fishing line, and some unsalted cocktail peanuts.

Episode 1 (where I realize I chose a poor naming convention)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/14/4/69c8b7c8-c60e-4c1c-b3ce-9e32aae671ec_not_the_podcast_episode_-_080322_-_episode_0.mp3

First time behind a mic in over 10 years. Be kind. This is not your father&#39;s Schnauzer Logic

Episode 0 (or what happened before the Big Bang?)

This was not the podcast I was planning...

I used to do a podcast back when people would say, "What's a podcast?" Then I had an idea for a new podcast and got stuck and decided to try a different podcast and that fell apart and now I'm doing another podcast, but this was not the podcast I was planning to do. Enjoy!
