This was all a long time ago, well a lot has happened in my life that is for sure since this story began.
I remember the buzz word on the internet was Blogs and to be honest it was something that had largely passed me by as I am not a great reader, well that isn’t quite true. I read all the time, nearly all day every day and maybe that is why I have never quite taken to being a bookworm, I guess my eyes need a rest 
I had heard the word podcasting and it seemed to be popping up more often, then I read a news article on some prominent news site, maybe the BBC as that is where I got a lot of my news back then and I was determined not to miss out this time around. Now when I say back then it must have been 2004/2005ish, who can remember the exact date, someone will work it out form this posting no doubt Feel free to let me know.
I heard Adam Curry’s name mentioned and found the Daily Source Code and tuned in, I also must have been searching for the words podcast and gay on the Googles and found someone called Wanda Wisdom with a show called Lucky Bitch Radio.
I had tuned into Wanda’s 3rd or 4th show, as I write she is on show 947! WOW, told you it had been a while
Anyway, I fell immediately in love with this mad creature as she was just like me in so many ways. I too have that kind of crazy sense of humour that Wanda does and to be honest it’s not that easy to find people, certainly here in the UK, that share that, maybe there is a little American in me somewhere (oooh! LOL) that makes me kind of cookie in a fun way
I used to love those early shows, Morning Reflections where she put on a feux British accent tickled me for obvious reasons. Those meaningful stoop chats were so intimate and warm, just like two friends chatting. I miss those days as you can tell.
I almost died when Puffy Blubber Cunt (Yes podcasting is a place on no limits on language) appeared on her show, the two were like matches and kindling and the resulting fire almost consumed me I was laughing so much.
I started to expand my podcasting horizons and found people like Madge Weinstein, who were at times maybe even a bit too much for me to handle, so I floated in and out of subscribing.
I had a new job and was travelling a lot, this afforded me plently of time in the car to indulge in my podcast listening, so I listened to a lot of podcasts, though some did pass me by until much later.
I will leave my story there for the moment dear reader, this is just the start of my podcast listening and my involvement in podcasting. Lots more to come!
Do you want to hear more?
Contact me and let me know, leave a comment, it’s nice to know someone is out there. I am thinking of maybe returning to podcasting in the new year and would welcome the encouragement.
Oh and by the way, if you have a favourite podcast, send them an email, call their listener line, ask a crazy question or just share the love. Don’t let them slip away because they feel unwanted and unloved. Too much of that going on and it has to stop, so do your bit….lecture over
Hope to hear from you, part two of my tale sooon…
