So. I haven’t made a podcast since Russell, Brandon, Ana, Taylor, Cara, and I recorded one on our vacation in The Thousand Islands. That was in July. I’ve been meaning to start recording another one, but seeing that Russell’s living in New York City now, I didn’t see a way of really doing it well. Before, most of the shows were recorded in Russell’s car while we were just driving around. Since Russell’s not here, we obviously can’t do that.
I really, really, really want to start up the old podcast again, though, so I have decided to start it fresh with a change in format. Instead of just having Russell or whoever and I talking for a long period of time (that can get a little boring after a while), I’m going to devote only part of the show to chatting about life and all that stuff. The next part of the show will focus on my own interests and be more of a creative how-to show. I want to have stuff like organizing, cleaning, decorating, little crafts, experimentation with cooking…. Now, I know this all sounds like I am totally trying to rip off Martha Stewart. And that’s only partly true. Certainly, the inspiration to do this came from all the Martha Stewart stuff that I devour on a daily basis, but really, I think that there just isn’t enough. I’m going to try to make a new show every week and feature all sorts of helpful tips for that particular month or season. I think my show will also be a little less Martha-esque because I’d like it to have more of an urban edge.
So…. now that that explanation is over. I need comments. I’ve already outlined the first four shows (two for December and two for after New Year’s) and I’ve written a sort of script for the first one. What I need is ideas for upcoming shows. I really want to get people’s feedback, their questions, problems they have with every day life…. I’d like to try and fix those problems in a creative way. Just keep in mind that these problems should be domestically related, not something that has to do with….. cannibalism or something. Okay, cannibalism is kind of a stretch, but I only have like two more minutes in this period before I have to go to Gym so I don’t have time to think of a better one. Anyway, please just leave some comments on what you’d like to see on the new show.

I think thats a great idea. When Russell does come back though, I think you should do a “classic” version of the maxigumee show. It’d be a nice special to look forward to every once in awhile. I say GO FOR IT!
Well, like I said, the whole decorating stuffness is only going to be *part* of the show. We’re still going to have random conversations (either with speaker phone or ichat or something). I’m also going to be moving to New York soon, so when I do, Russell and I can go crazy with the shows again.
You’re moving to New York! COOL! I say that you should do the screaming-out-of-windows thing. That was hilarious.
I liked when Mary was on the show, she cracked me up. You should interview her…about….herself?
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! your show is awesome…kinda like the dawn and drew show!
FINALLY! It’s about time…
The new idea sounds interesting…look forward to hearing it! I’m going to have to agree with some of the others – Mary and Russell were great on the show and having them back on wouldn’t be a bad idea even if it is only once in a while :)
Uh, well … (I’ve been reading these couple of latest entries of yours and had to stop and comment here), right now I’m hearing door bangs from my 7-year-old brother who is throwing a tantrum because of a little thing his 13-year-old brother said (something about scaring the cat away), and it has been going on forever. The tantrums. Every day of the holidays, in fact.
So, if you could talk about sibling fights and how to solve them or something, it’d be great. Because it looks like my brother won’t ever stop by himself, too much energy.
