[BLANK] IS EMOTIONAL

Blank is Emotional is on a hiatus, but not in any real dramatic way.  I need to take stock of what I’ve made so far and come up with something more streamlined the next round of episodes.  Editing has been hard for me, because I get stuck in a weird hole I can’t get out of.  Sometimes an hour of work editing equaled 5 minutes of a show, and it was always for a lightweight, fairly (quasi-intentionally) stupid podcast that would never reach many people.

Whenever it comes back, it will be different, because I need it to be.  It’ll still be goofy and weird and dumb, as that is who I am as a person, but it’ll be tighter.  A permanent guest host or two would help, consistent segments, etc.  Typical comedy podcast stuff, but I know I can make it funny.

I like what I’ve made so far.  Blank is Emotional has always been a practice run, something I can selfishly use to find my comedic voice, and it will continue to be.  Comedy is where I’m heading, even if it’s in small little clubs at open mics until I’m 40.  It’s what interests me the most.  There’s been some Blank stuff I’m lukewarm on, but I’ve also made a few episodes that I’m really proud of (”Small Talk on Scone Island” is my favorite, but I also really enjoy “Escapism” and “Shark Mating Season”).

There’s still one episode left that I’ll put up sometime during the hiatus that is a definite extension of what the previous episodes were about, one I recorded with Ashley Rice (from “Performance,” and it’s a super cute one about childhood crushes and etcetera).  So there’s something, I guess.

YOU PEOPLE LIKE ACTING OR WHAT?????  conversation with Ashley Rice this week. cool

hey buddies,

ep #9 is gonna be a bit late this week.  i’m going through a mental health moment in my life that happens to span the exact same time i’d usually be editing.  it’ll be up thursday at the latest, and is about “performance.”

in other news, still somehow on pittsburgh public radio -- weird stuff, man.  “cozy town” by juan fernandez is every tuesday night on WRCT from 9:30 PM to midnight, and my cool, incredibly popular podcast closes that show.  this week will be ep #8.

Episode Eight.

Cool dude Max and increasingly anxious Matthew talk about -- among other things -- how terrible scones are, and:

Can only small people like Matthew effectively do small talk? If you're tall, is it tall talk? What is Loverboy's great(est) hit? I forget!! Why is it so hard to traverse the Coffee Ocean? If you smoke pot drugs under water, is it CORAL REEFer?????

recording with ashley rice this morning.  this upcoming week is an episode with max, and it’s probs my favorite episode by far.  we talk about how terrible scones are and if there was an ocean made out of coffee (spoiler: the fish would be jacked up and it would be very difficult to navigate because of that)
