Long time no see! I apologize for the sudden break of content on this blog. Last semester was incredibly chaotic when it came to being able to set aside time to blog and as a result I was not able to fully commit to keeping up with new content. But with a new season of Big Brother coming this summer on June 28th, I want to get back into this, but first I want to explain the new direction that I will be heading in which is based on one assumption:
Writing is not the best medium for what I’m trying to do.
Those who know me know that I love to debate and more
importantly I love to talk. I could talk for hours about reality t.v. and I
really enjoy that. I had a decent response to the blog, but found that the most
productive and entertaining way for me to share my thoughts is in a different manner.
So I’m going to be podcasting!
Yes, you read that correctly. I’m going to be starting a Big Brother
podcast. Podcasting really is the best medium for me for many reasons:
1.
Jokes and sarcasm don’t always come across
obviously in writing. Hearing someone share their opinions makes it all the
more clear when they are joking or if they are serious. I’m a sarcastic person,
and you guys should get to hear that.
2.
Podcasting doesn’t require a listener’s full
attention like reading a blog does. You can put me in the background while you
are doing something else. I won't be offended.
3.
Podcasts are convenient. You can listen to it
whenever you choose or have time to. If
you stop it, you can easily pick back up where you left off.
The tentative plan for the podcast is that they will be
posted after every Big Brother episode on the Soundcloud app and eventually, if
enough support generates for them, on iTunes. For those who prefer not to use
smart phones to listen to them, I will also be embedding the podcasts into new
posts on my website so you can always check back here and see if a new one has
been posted.
I hope that everyone who enjoyed my blog will continue on
with me as I try out podcasting to further dissect the hobby that I love.
Spilt Tea over BB: A Big Brother Podcast is launching June
28th after the season 19 premiere of Big Brother. A special preview
episode will be available before the premiere where I will be ironing out the
kinks that go a long with being a novice podcaster and asking for your feedback
on the direction you’d want the podcast to go. It will be an interesting episode
where I talk about what I value in a Big Brother player with a little
background information on how I came to be obsessed with reality television.
You won’t want to miss it and I hope to hear from you soon!
