Podcasting

I've been wondering all day...  Should I be Podcasting?  

I mean a lot of people do it.  Maybe too many.  So who cares if I do one?  Isn't there enough crap out there.  But then again you could say the same about this blog.  There are tons of inconsequential people right here on Blogger yapping about shit that really doesn't matter. At least I've got some interesting things to talk about.

My thinking was that Jay Leno, David Letterman, and all the late night greats do a monologue, and isn't that just a Podcast on TV?  What about serious journalists like Andy Rooney (60 Minutes) who does a televised "podcast" every week about shit no one in the world could possibly care about.  Thank god they don't give him the whole 60 minutes.

I think the time is right for the world's fist ever relevant and interesting podcast.  The "Levinecast," or the the "PodcOtis."  I'll work on the name.  

People invent things like Podcasts but no one knows what to do with them until one day someone finds a great use for it.  Like the lightbulb.  For years people had filament, but it wasn't until 2 Canadians invented the lightbulb (look it up!) and sold their patent to Edison that the invention of filament made any sense.

And that's precisely what I do - make sense.

New Beginnings

Well it's that time of year where we all make New Year's resolutions.  So here mine.  To make it big in '08!

I've always dreamed of being on TV.  So I'm going to do it.  I know it can be hard, but I figure you've got to smart small even if you're dreaming big.

I've been told I need a demo so what I plan to do is make demos that showcase me and my on-air abilities and writing skills.

Look for me on Youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/OtisLevine

Oh, and have a great '08!
