Salutations™!!

On Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast tonight, the Kousins made their own fantasy list of what a KISS MY A$$ II (Again, Once More, etc.) would look like. Actually, two of the Kousins got one entry (both artist and song) the same. They must be related. They actually got two matches but one was only an honorable mention so you choose to count that or not. For those of you not familiar with what I’m talking about, KISS My A$$ was a KISS tribute album that was actually put together by KISS, at least who got to do what on the album. So, if there was another one made this is how we’d want it to look. If you’re a KISS fan, who would you want to see or hear do KISS songs? Gimme about 10-15 entries. And… GO!

Listen to that episode here. And today’s BWVD here.

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray and I discuss a “hidden” dress code for a local restaurant and why people are losing their minds. Or, better yet, WHY ARE people losing their minds over this? This and other restaurant/food news. Listen to the episode here.

You have food news? Let me know so I can let my listeners know.

Salutations™!!

Tonight on The Less Desirables, Jax returns to bring us a good smackerling of booze! We tried Bowman Brothers and one of their sister labels Isaac Bowman bourbons. We also had a lot of Pink Whitney (which came from a podcast no less!!!). In the studio with Jax, Tracy and myself (Bethany was out becoming a B-Ma again), were two young men who are wanting to get into podcasting and asked if they could observe. One is the son of a very good friend of mine and the other is the son of someone that I’ve been friends with for a long time and didn’t even know that he was his son until after they had left.

So, I said yes and they came and watched the three “adults” behave like children and they had a great time. I hope they learned something and I will be working with them to get their podcast going.

Listen to the episode here.

No Network or: The Long, Easy, Hard of it

Salutations™!!

My regular network group that meets on Friday mornings took the week off since it is the holiday weekend. I didn’t know what to do with myself. Well, I kind of did. I had a session yesterday morning and before that, I tried to “get ahead” by working on the Beeswax Vinyl Daily for Monday. I think I told you that it takes upwards of three hours to do one episode?

The reason that is, is because I have to aggregate the content. I have to make sure that what I’m reading is true and correct. I have to voice it. I have to find music to place as beds and I want to make sure that the appropriate music goes with what I’m talking about in the episode. It’s harder than it sounds. Timing while keeping “fair use” models in check, it’s like putting a puzzle together.

So, the “longest” part is the aggregation. The “easy” part is the voice over. The “hardest” part is placing the music. How are you enjoying the episodes so far, being as we’re only two days in? I’m a bit biased but I have listened to each and if I were an outsider, I think I’d find it informative and entertaining. When I talk to my podcast clients, I stress one word (a portmanteau, of course), “infotainment.” I hope you’re infotained.

In case you need a refresher, you can listen to today’s here.

Salutations™!!

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, I flew solo. Ray had something he needed to take care of and I didn’t ask anyone else to come in to help. I talked about Peach Brothers’ peaches and the dishes I made with those peaches. Alma Mexicana, places closed for the week (as is a usual thing for this holiday week), and much more. You can hear that here.

We didn’t do The Beer Dads this week.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, the Kousins talked about their Top 10 KISS album opening tracks. The stipulation was that it could only be from studio albums and the four 1978 solo albums. No live albums. No compilation albums. Our regular listeners, Eugene B. Sims (sorry, the AWARD-WINNING Eugene B. Sims), Nick Provenzano, and of course, our main-most-man, Roadie Ray, actually left their lists with me and we discussed theirs, as well. I had fun with this assignment. You can listen to this episode here.

Sorry about all the piggybacking lately. Well, mostly I am. I hope in the next week to introduce a new podcast to you. If things go well, it will be a daily podcast. It may eventually be a weekly one, but I want to shoot high. If you read this blog often, the name of the podcast will be quite familiar to you. But, I’ll talk more about that later.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Bethany, me, Beaker

Tonight on The Less Desirables podcast, we talked with Beaker (real name Courtney) about being a makeup artist breaking into theatre, film, opera, television, and more. We also talk about her being a student at UNCSA, music, life, and a bunch of other stuff. She was fun. A sweet, funny, human indeed. You can hear that episode here.

Salutations™!!

On The Less Desirables this evening, we had Beth Blair and Jay McNulty of the new Honu Global. As explained on their website:

Bethany, Jay, me, Beth

After many years in various careers, we decided to share our creativity and experience. Our passion for creating beautiful things is unbounded and we express them in our work and offer them in our gallery or at selected partners. If you want to reimagine your business, we can empower your team by working side by side to curate, stage and design for maximum impact and sales.

The cool thing, too, is that Jay is a beer maker, so we got to try both the Elderberry Ale and the English Nut Brown Ale that he made. We enjoyed those beers a lot!

You should give the show a listen, which you can do here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Today, February 3, 2021, is 11 years, to the day, since the very first episode of The Less Desirables was recorded. I’ve told the story before and if you look back on this blog for this date, I’m sure you’ll find it. But, I am proud of what it has been. I appreciate where it is and I love where I plan to take it. It is the longest, continuously running “pop culture” podcast in NC. Every Wednesday (minus one) since February 3, 2010. Today we recorded #573. It was cool to have my cousins, sorry… “kousins” from Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries. It was a good show!

So for today, I’m going to repost the very first episode. Give it a listen and then listen to the one recorded today. You will marvel at how much it has changed, even beyond different hosts.

Until tomorrow, happy anniversary TLD!!!
