Made at Home

Hello everyone

As promised, here’s episode one of my podcast!

Before I let you listen to this, I’m going to need you to promise you’ll listen to it with a generous ear. It’s basically like the Samuel Johnson quote about women preaching being like dogs walking on hind legs: it’s not that they do it well, it’s that you’re surprised they manage to do it at all. That’s me and podcasting. And you’d also be astonished how difficult it is to talk clearly, concisely, on topic, and not with any verbal tics for half an hour: which is why I absolutely haven’t managed it. But the major plus is, we all know now what my verbal tics are and I’ll be able, like, to, you know, work on avoiding them in the future, you know. So please bear with me.

My podcast is called Made at Home: and I’m confident that that will cover anything I’m ever going to talk about. For example, in this one we range from how I never got the good fuzzy felts to a woman I once witnessed on facebook having a virtual strop about salad dressing; so next time I may write more detailed notes and rein myself in a bit.

Also I hope you like my jingle. That was also Made at Home by my husband and we may have more discussion of that at a later date. But in the meantime I hope you enjoy my podcast a bit, I hope you don’t find my accent too flat and sarcastic: and in the next one I’m going to interview my mother, who, I think it’s fair to say, is gearing up and metaphorically drawing herself up to her full height of 5 foot 1 in preparation.

Have a lovely Sunday!
