It has been one of those weeks where I sit down to write and spend a lot of time writing titles and then deleting them when I realize I don’t really want to write that post. I have fragments of ideas floating around in my head, but I can’t seem to get the words out.
Sometimes I have a blog post in my head as I’m walking or driving, but can’t get it right when I try to write it.
In therapy this week I was asked if I ever consider podcasting. I mentioned the attempt at podcasting I did on Anchor connected to the blog and how I didn’t like the sound of my voice. I talked about how I think I would be better in a situation where the podcast was something like me arguing with my brother about stuff. I don’t think I could convince him to do it.
We talked about video. I also don’t like the way I look in pictures or videos. But, I think there are some things that would work better on video. Short book reviews on Tik Tok, rants, etc. It was suggested I do a few videos knowing I never have to share them anywhere to see how it feels. I should have done that yesterday when I was home alone.
There are many ways to express yourself. I have generally done it through writing, but I think maybe I should consider branching out to see how it goes.

Me too. I just don’t like the idea of seeing myself.

Yeah. No reason not to record and then choose to not publish if I don’t like it

A fellow blogger of mine and I joined forces once to do something sports-related for his site’s podcast. I enjoyed it a lot – it was a good experience. I wouldn’t have an issue doing a video, but for me I like the freedom of being able to just focus in on what I am saying and how I am using my voice, and not having to worry about the additional piece of how I appear at any given time. You should definitely work with both audio and video on your own, and then decide what you like more.

I’ve been on a friend’s podcast a couple of times and enjoyed it. I will play around with some stuff and see what I like.

I think you should try videos. But I’m with you. I don’t like the sound of my own voice or how I look on video.

I will attempt at some point I will probably wait until I am home alone again.

Is there anybody else you could do a podcast with, if you don’t think you can convince your brother to do it with you? Like you, I find my voice not something I want to hear. I’m too self-conscious to try video myself, but you should give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained (to be trite).

I can’t think of anyone else. I might play around with it the next time I’m home alone
