Here it is, episode 1 of the podcast. I considered calling this episode zero — because really there’s very little content. Then I realized that if the expectation of real content is established, I might be in trouble somewhere around episode “the next”

Hee! Very Shawn! I loved it. More!
Sound effects would be a lot of fun. Definitely add those.
Thanks for entertaining us.

A few things.
1. Go ahead and do 27 podcasts in one day. You think I have nothing to do all day? (O.K., I’ll listen for 3 or 4.)
2. I suggest you follow television’s example and call this podcast #1.1 and the next one is 1.2. (Season 1, Episode 1).
3 Why yes, I do use post-its™ (keepin it official for the sponsor.)
When I’m working on a movie it’s really necessary to be able to see the schedule at a glance, so I get those monthly planners for the wall. Then I use different colored post-its™ for each of the day.
Yellow = Exterior Day
Pink = Interior Day
Blue = Exterior Night
Green = Interior Night.
Then, it’s really easy to move the post-its™ around when things on the schedule change (which they always do.)
That’s all I got.

Shawn, you are such a dork. But you’re our kind of dork.
I would like to sponsor a future “Brain of Shawn Podcast.” I want it to be called “The Brain of Shawn Podcast. episode x.x, sponsored by Hot Chick Apple Butter.”
You in?

I second Kate. You have a lovely voice to listen to Shawn.
How about doing a dramatic reading of some short fiction? That’s be fun!

Ok — I like it. I will use the x.x method of episode naming. Can we call them Episode 1, Kerfluffle 1 instead of “season” ? Because I’ve always wanted to find a good use for the word kerfluffle…
Or maybe Episode 1, Series 1, because that’s more British sounding.
OR, maybe I just pronounce the dot. ie, “Season one dot one”
I think I’m going to like this…
And thank you immensely for all the compliments. I’d be lying if I said they didn’t make me feel shiny.

I’m quite entertained by listening to you blather on about nothing. Topics are overrated.

Love it, Shawn. Raccons and Brussel Sprouts, cracked me UP!
How about “Era x, UPoT y,” abbrev. Ex.y. (UPoT = Unspecified Period of Time)

So I don’t think I got the point. What’s the podcast going to be called?
Your sound quality was awesome considering this is a first run. Usually new podcasts sound like crap.
It would be cool if you talked a little about writing fiction.

Why not just keep it in the essence of geekiness that is you, and just say it’s version 1.1?
Next podcast would be version 1.2, and so on and so forth.
If you prefer to have kerfuffle in the podcast intro, I’m sure we could arrange that too.

Janiece — the answer was so obviously YES!!!11one1! That I felt replying would cheapen it.

Also, I’ve consulted with Stevie Wonder, and I think my podcasts will be numbered in the traditional y=mx+b fashion.
No, I mean, they’ll be numbered in the mx=y+b fashion.
No no, I mean in the one two three method. Yeah, that’s it. (iTunes is picky, and I’m too lazy to try getting creative and compliant both. I’m a total conformist.)

Ahem. That’s mx=y-b, not +b. Just sayin…

Yeah, thus my one two three method.

I vote for an exponential numbering scheme. The first one is 1, the second is 2, the third is 4, the fourth is 8, …

I’m listening to the podcast right now. You’re rather charming.
I love Post-Its! I use highlighters in a wide variety of colors, and color code my file folders.
Wow, no schedule? 27 podcasts in 1 day? You crazy guy.
