The REAL David and Michael, Interstate 76, and the intro...
Is this fair to say regarding the controversial Episode 28?
Getting a taste of the "real" David and Michael: good.
That it was done in a podcast: BAD.
Well, that seems to be the general consensus from our feedback. Which is great. I guess that's why I want to do this blog. So I can voice my thoughts and such, but not hamper a podcast with that nonsense. Maybe David will even post here some time (or read it...?)
So, regular listeners will note that a major difference in this episode was that "music, editing, and other production considerations" were provided by me in a bunch of different locations. I know I've done this before. In fact, the astute amongst you will have noticed it usually takes place during holidays. But this time, it's for real. It is possible that there will be one more episode produced in Chicago when I go back next month to tie up some loose ends, but from here on out, I've moved. I'm in the Washington D.C. area for the summer, designing a show at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre, and then off to New York for the forseeable future. Not sure what I'll do there exactly, but I'm sure it will be fun. I've lived there before, even in some of those "rough neighborhoods" David mentions in Episode 29, though I never got mugged.
I'll miss Chicago, but am looking forward to new things.
Lastly, I wanted to ask what people thought of the intro. Frankly, it was an idea of my father's from several months ago. He thinks we should brand our show, give it a little more cohesiveness from episode to episode. I agreed, but never had the time to do it. So e-mail us or comment on this posting to let me know what you think. It's a work in progress.
