This must be International Collaboration Month. I’ve recorded an interview for Rob @ Podcast411 (it was with Kelli & Jason from the Nobodies) and man, that was a blast. It’s planned to go up on his feed next month, two or three thousand listeners, that’s ten times what I’ve ever had for this show! As my kids say, “Wicked!”
The other collaboration has been Sage kindly agreeing to take up my offer by interviewing her Mom for my show. It was weird having someone else do the editing. I would really love to hear what you think of the finished product. Being a little protective of the vision of this podcast, I was initially dissapointed thinking that the interview came across as negative and maybe even bitter. That’s fine as it’s only my interpretation of the story and what I’m hearing isn’t what’s being said. Even if it is true then what’s wrong if it’s honest? Nothing, but my vision of Celebrating the Uncelebrated has so far meant steering away from negativity as a whole. I hope I’m not censoring people’s stories to make them all sugar-coated, but I do want people to be inspired and encouraged.
Oh well, that’s the price of opening up the show to more editors.
Again, what did you think? I’m sure I take this all too seriously. You’d probably chuckle if you knew how I wrestle about whether to include a song, whether to edit out a bit of an interview, whether a comedy bit is “right” for the show.

Hi! I came here via Sage.
I thought it was well put together. I like the transistions, knowing that a bit was ending and another was coming up. I love Kite’s stories, having heard them before and didn’t think that came across as bitter, more as “what were these people thinking??” And now you’ve got me anxiously awaiting part two.
I especially liked the Brit perspective, as my grandparents emmigrated here to Canada in 1956. And my father too, I guess but I always forget, given he was something like 8 at the time, and I mostly hear about it from my grandparents.
The comedian you featured has the same sort of accent as my grandparents, and the same kind of humour I heard often growing up - and still do, when that side of the family is together.
So for me, it was extra special.
Thanks.
And now I really want to try and get a digital recording of the cassettes my grandfather made for me, where he reminisces about growing up in England (Ipswich) and The War (number 2). They’d be very interesting in a podcast like this.
