Starting a Podcast

Wow, where has the time gone?

An update to begin, starting a PODCAST folks. My co-host and I are calling it "Light of Day Reviews" and the premise is to spring bad, cult, and generally odd movies on people and interview them. I felt that I should blog the thought process behind the IDEA so here you go!

First of all the seeds for the podcast during An Evening with Kevin Smith at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2015. I've been a long time fan and admirer of Mr. Smith and so even though I was very ill with one of the worst colds I've had in recent memory, I forced myself to attend the performance. Boy can that man talk and talk, Silent Bob my ass. One of the major topics he went over was taking an idea and turning it into a podcast. That planted the seed in the back of my mind and I didn't think much of it for a while.

Now jump ahead a few months to the beginning of October 2015. I was attending the local Ren Faire with one of my best friends (and future co-host Chris Clay) and as we were leaving we were discussing some really bad movies and how we really enjoyed introducing new people to them. <Light Bulb!>  I now had an idea for the podcast I've wanted to do. Immediately I brought up the IDEA to Chris who also agreed that it would be a good. Now real life got in the way for the next year and once again it got pushed to the back burner. Granted we brought it up every now and then and the idea still felt like a good IDEA.

A year goes by and as well as a large number number of bad movies being watched. My friend Kim and her boyfriend, John moved from Brooklyn, NY to Las Vegas. We met up at Pizza Rock in Green Valley Ranch (I swear I don't go to casinos that much!) and discovered that John was just as big of a non-mainstream movie man as myself! We started talking about the movie Black Sheep (2006) and I am not talking about the Chris Farley/David Spade classic, and Kim says that she hasn't seen it yet. OMG that's the whole premise of my IDEA!!!!

A week later, I was finishing up a Savage Rifts game session and brought it up to Chris again and he was still all for it. Yay! I suggested Black Sheep and again he was all for it. I messaged Kim and John and they agreed to be the first guests and want to be regulars. The IDEA was starting to become reality!

Now I've started the Facebook page and soon to have a website. Please keep in mind both are under construction as I teach myself basic website design and gather the equipment to begin starting the podcast. Once I have the equipment, I will schedule the first recording which should be in Jan 2017. After that I will do the post production and get it on iTunes and Google Play for everyone to enjoy.

Wish me luck, I am learning a lot as I go and having a lot of fun.

I will keep everyone updated
