I would be lying if I said I didn’t have high hopes. I did. Was it a failure? I guess that depends on who you ask. But if you’re asking me, The Moose, I would say it was a resounding successful failure. We came. We recorded. We edited. We posted. We Twittered. We failed. We learned. So, I chalk it up as success by way of failure. Also, post-pandemic (I hate that term), Salty and I have had some significant life changes that have impeded our ability to connect, record, edit, and post as often as we should. Of course, had the podcast had any non-success via failure, AKA success, we may have figured a way to keep it going. With that said, the Cerebral Goo! podcast is not dead, it’s just in a state of hibernation that may result in death, or a possible emergence into a sparse spring. We’ll see, I’m still investigating possibilities.
In light of this successful failure, and to save some money, we will be moving/archiving past podcasts to our youtube channel. Mosty so the podcasts have a place to live/hibernate and a relative presence in the decaying entity that is the World Wide Web. This will be done over time and updates will be posted here.
In the meantime, I have made a self-commitment to regularly post on the Cerebral Goo! blog. At least, more regular than once a year. I am going to shoot for once a week, or if and when a fancy strikes. Not that that the blog has or had anymore success than the Podcast did — I think one post got 16 views, but it is a great outlet for me, and serves as a method of self-care. For everyone else, it’s no-care. Nevertheless, I’m going to make the attempt.
Stay tuned. More Goo is on the way. (I was going to say coming, but thought that a tad too punny.)
