Hello Hivians and Hello Silver Bloggers!
We have closed in on November
The first week of November is almost over! Today as I write this is the sixth of November, and if this is your first time here then thank you for visiting. If you have come back then thank you heaps, that means a lot so thank you!
I have not posted a blog in November from this, my main account! In fact I have only posted two blogs all month anywhere!
So I thought it would be apt to make this post all about a challenge for November.
That challenge is NaPodPoMo
I want to participate in #NaPodPoMo and I have this hairbrained idea to run a few Spaces on X (formerly Twitter) and then somehow with the magic that is the interwebby put them on a podcast.
Yes it seems Matilda has trapped herself in a vat of GIN and has got lost.
Actually I had recorded an introductory Spaces on X (formerly Twitter). I had never spoken or hosted at a Spaces sowascurious to get the stage set and see how it all works.
Of course, Billy NoMates was having a hard time on his own trying to get it to work. So a bight thank you to @alohaed and the wonderful @wongi who stepped up to rescue me in my hour of need at nearly midnight! Big thank you to both of you.
It successfully has been sent to Zealous, but now I am on the hunt for an audio editing app before I can put it somewhere on Hive.
I am sure that I will be coming to see you all in the Creative Work Hour!
National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo
In 2007, 50 podcasters participated in the first ever National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo. Created by Jennifer Navarrete as an answer for an audio version to other 30 day challenges happening in the month of November.
That is taken from NaPodPoMo and we are extremely fortunate in that Jennifer Navarrete is our very own @epodcaster
Last year I created a podcast called It Takes Two To Tengo ...
This is where Matilda made her debut and it was courtesy of a @dreemport challenge, so thank you @dreemsteem for helping to give birth to her.
Well don't you know but Mrs T said she wanted to make a podcast but didn't know how.
I thought she had forgotten about it, but oh no, on the 1st of November I get a text from her at work asking about the podcast.
I presumed she meant Matilda, but no she meant hers...
What the fluff, I had no clue what to do for her lol.
One of my many faults is that I can think on my fault and lie through my teeth.
"Have you sorted my podcast?"
Of course...
"So what is about?"
Wait and see when you come home.
One thing is I know how to read people, as much as Mrs T could chat the hind legs off a donkey in real life, put her behind a camera where there is nobody watching and she gets anxious!
The charming rascal AKA devious bastard at work!
No sooner had Mrs T come home from work, I grabbed her phone, pushed her onto the couch and quickly hit record....
The result ... A spontaneous podcast where I actually helped by giving Mrs T no clue what was happening!
