A Podcast Memoir
I started this podcast memoir back in 2019. Needless to say, much has changed in the years to follow. I stopped at episode 15 in 2013. I didn’t know who my audience would be since most of the Oscar coverage industry hates me with the heat of a thousand suns, but all the same, I’d like to get it down on record.
I am determined to finish it. Most of you couldn't care less about the Oscars. I know that. I’m only posting it here if you’re curious.
The Oscars, like the Pulitzer, the Tony awards, the Nobel Peace Prize, and even a PhD, once measured excellence. Now I’m not sure what they measure. I haven’t watched pro sports or been to a theater (movie or stage) in over 20 years. I see no reason to pay for garbage, produced by people who have no respect for me and mine. Better to stay home where I can screen out the preaching and the trash.
Sasha, I started from the beginning and listened to six eposodes on my 3+hour round trip commute. (Moving next week) You are an amazing writer, with penetrating insight, detailed self awareness and brutal honesty. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s commute. Thank you.
