Play It Forward Episode 16

Listen to "Play It Forward Episode 16 Sally Greenberg Bad CBD Oils" on Spreaker. Hey it’s Arroe. Welcome to my new podcast series Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus. The goal is to feature two different types of episodes. The individual conversations as well as a collected array of the entire picture. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 16: CBD… Ok man, we gotta get real. The last thing anybody needs during this time of uncertainty is a bad dose of something we assumed was the glorious mix and perfect fix. As loved as CBD is only one source of it has been approved by the FDA. Here’s the situation. There are people across the country claiming their CBD will boost your protection from the Coronavirus. I’m not saying but the experts are…this is a false claim. In fact there are ingredients in some CBD’s that can actually harm you when combined with other things during this pandemic. I’m not gonna sound bite this conversation with Sally Greenberg from The National Consumer League. If we’re all in this boat to figure out how to play it forward let’s do it without selling meds and liquids off Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show wagon.

Pod-Crashing Episode 50

Listen to "Pod-Crashing Episode 50 Be Heard Your Word" on Spreaker. Pod-Crashing Episode 50 I once had an Operations Manager that got very upset with the on-air terrestrial radio staff because they wouldn’t take advantage of the wide open space provided by the radio stations webpage. There it was! In plain public view! Do what you do! Create an army of followers with your point of view! Outside of cutting and pasting the personality of the station website laid there nearly silent. That’s how I was first introduced to Blogging. 2006. Man I hit it hard! Every subject known to man. I wanted to know where people were and how I could get into their circle of conversation. It still wasn’t enough room for what I wanted to say. I mean they were letting us bring things forward whatever it took to drive listeners and followers deeper into our site. It gave us the ultimate permission to generate conversation beyond the image of the radio station. Why not invest a ton of creative energy into the sport of it? A couple of years into it I got bored. I needed a new layer of where people were at. I know! Vlogging! Yeah ok for about five minutes. Ok, what’s all this about? You know what gets old? People that think they have a voice or a reason to bring volume to their beliefs but refuse to build their own podcast and platform. If they governments got you all wrapped up in a larger than life conspiracy that resembles a national takeover don’t get pissed off at the podcasters that don’t want to give you time. Build your own layout and play the game! I’ve never been a fan of radio listeners becoming a part of the on-air performance. I’m all about the one on one relationship. A listener pops up and can easily steer the entire day in different direction. All of that show prep just went out the door. For many podcasters who aren’t hooked up to that instant connection to listeners, the voices they get to hear come after the episode. Usually through a text or email. God forbid you take it to Facebook because that’s where enemy lines have already gathered and their waiting for any type of response to pounce on a moment that’s pretty much long gone and forgotten. First… I love listeners. Don’t get me wrong. Where the host gets off the path is when an unexpected twist is tossed into a machine that’s been locked on forward motion. I’ve really enjoyed doing these conversations and interviews with all walks of life that have been affected but not infected by the Coronavirus. One problem. The conspiracy tribes are loaded for bear and want to be heard. Anyone watching news whether it’s globally or local, the headlines are doing their job. They’ve painted this picture of how the United States could easily fall into its darkest days ever. The Stock Market still can’t fully recover and the Unemployment rate is 6 million Americans without jobs. A 3000% increase. My reasons for wanting to podcast are not linked to politics. I may talk with those making laws but it’s never at the level of trying to chop down their cherry tree. Here’s where I get worried. I know a lot of starter shows begging for any type of attention. The power of saying yes to any guest is more vibrant today than any other time. We cannot turn the pandemic into Area 51 or a 9-11 planes being controlled by the government. If this is what you believe create a podcast. Make your voice present. Do the work. Promote it. Put it out there and exercise your freedom of speech. A podcast to study is the most recent season of Slow Burn where we learn the whole east west Hip Hop battle was media generated. He said she said and a lot of it didn’t need to find its story being published. Choosing how you podcast is part of the growing process. I’m absolutely inspired by the biggest names in the newspaper industry have located their new age paths of putting their investigative reporting to work for them in a podcast. Journalism today is reaching unheard of respect because they weren’t just another voice on a talk radio show or podcast. They made it their own. Ronan Farrow is a brilliant talent to grow toward because he knew he had a story. The television network wouldn’t air it. He kept pushing the envelope which led to multiple connections he wouldn’t have had if someone didn’t say no. Coronavirus is an uncomfortable place to hang an uneducated hat. Every new day is a place we can compare our notes to. What we knew four weeks ago is nothing to what’s unfolding today. The information and education continues to gain strength because the most brilliant minds on the planet have united like no other time in history. That’s not an opinion. That’s fact. A Buddhist priest named Thich Nhat Hahn chose to visit the United States during the center of the Vietnam War. Protesters were angry that he wasn’t raising banners and shouting. His view was completely coming from a different shape of the situation. If he was in the states to bring attention to the war why not do it by exercising the peace living in your soul? What’s the moral of the story? Be heard on a podcast or YouTube video. Use your words when blogging. Be you. But be aware. Are you trying to create a movement or win a popularity contest? At no time in man’s history on this planet has there been so many different ways to communicate. Why waste your time being just a listener when you can own the stage? Podcasting is still an infant just as much as Twitter was a baby during the exchange of government change in Libya. Believe it or not Irish Limericks were once used to get the wartime conditions across country lines to outsiders. In Central America poetry was used in the 1980s to help tell the tales which invited new hope and supplies. Country music before it became. You ready. It was the local newspaper. They put the bad times in songs so people would remember the events. There are a billion podcast books available today to learn new tricks of the trade. If you’ve got a conspiracy driven message that needs to reach out there and be heard make sure you don’t try to make a profit from the potential of generating a large audience. Do it for free. It’ll make you look like a better rebel. May the force be with you!

Ryan Jay Reviews

Listen to "Just Another Day With Ryan Jay Episode 040320" on Spreaker. Hats off to movie makers and television creators for endlessly working through every bad review and reason not to air of release because all things ever made are available for us to watch during this Coronavirus stoppage. This week Ryan Jay Reviews Vivarium available on demand. He says it's about a house, no television, no internet, no outside connections. Are you're complaining about being quarantined? Up next is The Other Lamb. Good or bad should we still put it on our list? And yes you can judge a book by its cover when it comes to the poster connected to Netflix's Coffee and Kareem.

The New Texture

Listen to "The New Texture" on Spreaker. I heard the term the other day. Part of living in the new norm is learning how to adjust our lives to the new texture. We're seeing it on local and national television news. They're broadcasting from their homes. Howard Stern is totally not like what it used to be, Bob and Sheri the same. They're still showing up like real Broadcasters but the new texture is getting used to what life really sounds like. Whoa. That's a tough pill to swallow. What does life really sound like? Movies? Dinner? Stealing music from the internet and now the makers of all that sound are truly in a place far worse then what Napster introduced? In my recording studio I live a new texture. I'm used to a totally empty home with the occasional snoring dog in the background. It's all changed. My wife is teaching first graders how to read, do math, to be in peace, to become leaders in all this change. She's having Zoom meetings with other educators and helping to bring forward a world that could easily be forgotten. The new texture. So many people and families are having to readjust their circumstances in order to keep focused and in favor of where we presently stand without having to find reason to raise our war flags and verbal weapons. The new texture. We talk about it on this podcast episode. What it's like to take a 4 in the morning walk and the only thing you have as a guide is starlight and not the sound of airplanes and cars on a distant highway. Sipping on coffee in the morning is completely different. My new texture sees me writing all the time. I'm putting my writing instrument aside around midnight. Then get up to do it again. Not to be a buzz kill but I do bring up a question as to how you're going to be able to handle the reality of all that is when the starlight becomes clouded by what science has been predicting? I really liked it more when people were horrified of a Zombie invasion.

Play It Forward

Listen to "Play It Forward Episode 15 The Medium, One Time Lonely And The History Maker" on Spreaker. Hey it’s Arroe. Welcome to my new podcast series Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus. The goal is to feature two different types of episodes. The individual conversations as well as a collected array of the entire picture. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 15: The Medium, The One Time Lonely and The History Maker The one thing missing from social media conversations are the footprints of a long lost friend or family in the way of the paranormal reaching toward us to lend a helpful blast of been here done it before. I recently spent some time with world renowned medium Kim Russo who believes those before us are restless and on the move. One thing that stands out is the animal kingdom. While the humans seem trapped and out of control the rest of the planet is still moving forward. Val Walker’s new book is titled 400 Friends With No One To Call. We’ve all been there and have been reintroduced. A quick fix is to get locked in on creativity. All those connections floating around your Facebook and people are starting to feel a little lonely. Reconnecting with bitter old enemies or lost family members is something Covid-19 gets credit for. I’ve been known to say creative people have truly been silent the first three weeks of the Coronavirus attack on the planet. Famed model, writer and wife of Mic Fleetwood Jenny Boyd isn’t so quick to say we’re stumbling in the art department. She traveled with the Beatles to meet with the Maharishi. The experience is something we can learn from today as we continue to travel deeper into the virus.
