Swithpod is down for now

Did you ever plan on doing something, something fun, exciting and new, with one of your friends. You get together and you create a podcast. It almost feels like you just recorded one your conversations and tried to send it out for all the world to hear. Then something happens, the key to your podcast getting out there in our case, Switchpod.com crashes. Now it should be up soon, so hopefully our dream of having people listen in on our geeky comic/tv/sci-fi/cardboard cut out star trek comercials converstaions will still come true. It just feels like you did something big, like you taped the finally of your favorite show and you went home to watch it and the power went out. You know in your mind it was good but you still need to see it, and hope that all your friends that watch it thought it was good, and the blogs and message boards you read on the net thought it was good.

I hope that by the time our next show is recorded which will be Wednesday night, after Dave gets his haircut switchpod will be back up. I know, I have to explain to Dave that our podcast is an audio show and no one can see him, but if it makes him feel better who am I to argue. This delay though has given me time to try to make some new friends on podcast pickle and get some good advice too. First off, we should not "advertise" our show till after episode 5 by Steve from The Wickedly Good Podcast. At first that seemed a bit odd to me, but then it was suggested that we ask other podcasters to listen to and look over our show and give us their thoughts. These guys have been in the "business" longer then we have obviously so they could definetly help out and I will look into that. Next in the same forum thread Random from the Sturgeon's Law podcast and he suggested to listed to your own podcast. Now I will admit Dave and I had both been listening to it but I am not sure if we have been all that critical of ourselves. For us its hard since its coming out almost exactly how we thought it would. Just us talking about things we like.

For once something stopping a dream, even though it was a small one compared to others has helped me find ways to improve on it once we get rolling again. Podcasting is a fun and exciting thing to be involved in and I hope it never stops being like that.
