I don't know how old y'all were when I launched my TG podcast in 2014 (50 Shades of Shadi); I released only 5 episodes at the time and it was more of a general chat than an actual structured conversation. Yet, it was still a hit with the listeners.
So, I have decided to restart my podcast, with the below guidelines:
1. It will be more structured; I am going into each podcast knowing what I am going to talk about and allocating a time for each section to make it smoother.
2. I will only host people who have something to say; whether it's an issue they want to discuss, a season to promote, someone to call out, or a bone to pick with me; an interview needs to preferably have a thesis statement.
3. To make it more enticing to the listeners, I am definitely bringing up people from TG whether in word associations, random conversations, or in giving examples or anecdotes. So, you never know if you're gonna hear your name; especially if you know the person I am having the chat with.
4. I am not responsible for the opinion of my guest; I am merely hosting him. When I have an opinion on something, I will make sure to add it.
5. This is for fun, obviously, and because I like to talk. :D
6. Each episode will last between 30 - 60 minutes and will be released periodically. I am aiming for once a week, but this will not always be the case. To ensure continuity, I am doing them at my own pace.
7. If you would like to be a guest on my podcast, either send me a tg mail here or a skype message (id: shadi.chastain ) and we will discuss it. If you've been around long enough and have something to say, I'll be happy to host you.
And for my first guest, it is the ever-so-kind BigBen1996, a good friend / sparring partner who candidly discusses his issues during the last few times he played in Suitman13's games, as well as discussing any issues he has with other people; reviewing his previous season, which I competed in, Suriname, doing some fun word associations and discussing group game topics / memories. It was a pleasure having him and I would love to have him again sometime.
I taught Shadi would no better then to try and get attention from me! Please refrain from giving me updates for future podcasts. I am here to pop in and get rocked out of a shawn game once or twice a year then run back to my safe hole of skype games! Thank you for your future kindness in going back to pretending i don't exist, I really appericate it.
