Episode 105 is Live!

Yup, it’s true, Episode 105 is Live! Ever want to know how I got my tagline? Well, this is the episode to listen to. Also, we talk A LOT about gender, new terms, and the politics involved. Identity is very important, and we at Cerebral Goo believe every individual has a right to their identity. Always will. But, there’s an awful lot of talk about it, so we thought we’d talk about too; it’s in this episode.

I myself am having a touch of an identity crisis and wondering why I am dreaming about spiders. Particularly a black widow spider guarding her purple glowing nest of eggs. Make it worse, it was in Salty’s house. And, I did nothing about it except worry. WTF?

I used to dream about spiders a shit ton when I was a kid. Still a lot now, comparatively, but I never really delved into why. Me thinks a podcast about this is coming. And that scares me too. I bet we come up with some answers. Want to chime in? You know how: Twitter (@CerebralGoo), here in the comments (↓), or contact us!

Hmm…

🤔. This is how I feel today. Not up, not down, just thinking. Wondering. Is the Cerebral Goo podcast everything I expected? Is it entertaining? Do those that have listened to it enjoy it? More importantly, do listeners want to come back, and share it with their friends and family? Hard to say really, considering that the only people listening to it at this point ARE friends and family.

I knew that trying to get people listen to the CG podcast wasn’t going to be easy. I knew that we’d be lucky to get more than friends and family to listen. Though, I think I hoped that friends and family would share it; nay, promote it! I mean, after all, isn’t that their job?!? Of course, some still haven’t listened, something about being busy with their lives and whatnot. Geez, can’t just drop it all and listen to our podcast, really? Kidding aside, the first major hurdle is behind us. Of course, it’s laying on the ground in pieces, but it is behind us.

So far, we’ve had a bit of (friends and family) listenership and good feedback and I expect those that did listen to it were honest about what they thought. So, now on to how to get more to listen and engage…this seems to be the million dollar question. No, billion dollar question. I’m on it. I’ll figure it out. And, as I would expect Mr. Musk to say, “In three months, no three weeks, it’ll all be solved.” I’ll be sure to check back in a year, if we’re still working on this, and laugh, or cry. If not; well, at least we tried.

Thanks to those of you that have listened, and here’s to the next baby step! We’ll be sure to try to not leave that one in a burning heap on the front porch.

A Listener?!? Woohoo

Well, it’s official folks. We have a real, actual, living, non-related listener. If that’s all we ever have, it was — and is, worth it. Welcome jellybean, and thank you for being part of Cerebral Goo! You’ll always be our first, but hopefully not the last 😌.

POSTED!

It’s done 🤯. The first four Cerebral Goo podcasts have been posted to the site; well, the first three and the introduction. These are the first of the culmination of months of tireless work and sibling banter. They are the fruit of our labor and there’s a lot more fruit to hang too.

The anxiety that came with getting to this point has now morphed into an anxiety tsunami regarding so many questions with zero answers. Or at least anxiety caused by the fear of what the answers may be. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little scared, a lot anxious, and laying awake while I should be sleeping. Cerebral Goo! Shock 2 Of course, the latter is not because of CG, but other issues we won’t go into here. I may throw up (figuratively) those questions on the Cerebral Goo blog later, but right now I’m not keen on publicly sharing how truly insecure I am. I hope we get some traction.

I am very thankful to Salty for her participation in CG. Without her, it would not have ever come to fruition, and would be a thought stuck somewhere in the Goo void. Thanks, Salty!

Well, Damn.

Yes, we were on the way to having the first podcasts posted. We were excited and hopeful. Six were — are, ready to go.  And then? We listened to them…and we didn’t like them. Well, not all of them at least. Some of them are good, but the first few most definitely aren’t. Thes audio basically sucks. Our attitudes aren’t the best. The editing isn’t great.

So, now what? Well, that’s a great question, thank you for asking. We’re going to put the first few Cerebral Goo episodes in the vault, to be retrieved after we’ve got an average weekly listener base of over a million. Then, we’ll open the vault, take out the first episodes and…burn them. Of course, we’d be burning comedy gold, so maybe we’ll wait on that thought.

We’ve recorded 15 Cerebral Goo podcast episodes as of today. Of those, seven need to be edited and reviewed. Time has been short recently, and I am working hard to get the first six posted ASAP. Once that happens, the rest *should* flow on the weekly basis that we intended.

Lastly, I think part of my hesitation of getting this done has been the fact that during the pandemic, everybody and their mother started a podcast. I was shaken. How the hell did everybody have the same great idea I had? Worse part is that some of them are pretty good. But, they’re not Cerebral Goo. They don’t touch on the hard-hitting topics and  semi-backed up opinions that we do. And, most importantly. they don’t have us; Salty and Moose, the greatest sibling duo since, well, us.

Thank all of you who’ve helped us get this far. The meat will be up soon. Hrm. That didn’t come out right. What I mean to say is that the first  podcasts will be up and live ASAP.

Exciting Times?

These are exciting times, I think. Gearing up to launch the first three plus one of the Cerebral Goo Podcasts. What I can say is that I am a little scared and a lot terrified. I’ve been talking myself into this for many months, and now that it’s here, I am shaking.

Salty and I have busted our asses to make this thing a reality, but  the “what ifs” are killing me. Not literally of course, but jeez….

What if:

  • Nobody listens?
  • Only our family, ie. parents listen?
  • A few people listen and berate us on social media?
  • More than a few people listen and berate us on social media.
  • No one listens, including our parents, and this thing flops?
  • Plus many more negatives?
  • Or, some people listen, enjoy it and take something positive away? – That’d be awesome.

So, Cerebral Goo Podcast launch day is imminent. I’m shaking, and all will be well, I think.
