Julian, I rarely watch podcasts as I prefer to read as it's how my mind functions, therefore, I do hope you will provide, in the future, the transcripts of your podcasts. Many thanks.
The self interview would be good, many decades ago there was a show on the Australian ABC called the Norman Gunston Show, the lead was played by Gary Mcdonald, Norman was a reporter, skinny, balding with a combover and ever present pieces of tissue stuck to his cheek where he cut himself shaving, just to set the picture.
The first time I saw the show at the end I looked at my friend and we both said WTF, but hooked watched it the following week, Warren Beattie had just landed to promote the film and was addressing a press gathering, camera pans to the back of the room and Norman asked "and what brand of shampoo do you use?" the dumbfounded look on Beattie was priceless. I think it was Tina Turner who twigged and played him with a straight bat.
So cutting to the chase, the epitome was Norman Gunston interviewing Gary Mcdonald at Playing the Norman Gunston role, it was absolutely brilliant, if you can match that it would be great 😉😊
Do do an interview with Ichi and Chappi! The sound quality of the podcast doesn't match the "sound quality" of your written word. Personally I prefer to read things but that may be because I can bookmark the page so I can attend to a request from one of my guys. I'm also the chef, heating pad, cleaner, toilet person and we have long conversations about everything! I am old but I don't feel old even if the technology doesn't work the way it should, its only a tool but a very useful one. Where would we be without the internet! I had an uncle who wrote a book in 1938 called Propaganda boom - about "mass persuasion.... its use as a systematic political weapon is a discovery of the present century"! Haven't read it yet, it just arrived. His name was Alec, he was killed in Germany in April 1945 fighting the nazi regime which had taken over Germany. I wrote to Carney about Canada's support for Ukraine, told him about Alec, and questioned his, Carney's, knowledge and understanding of history - I haven't heard back, not yet anyway.
Just curious - "killed in Germany in April 1945 fighting the nazi regime which had taken over Germany." - essentially, the war was already over - officially in May - I was there! www.crushlimbraw.com
Are you sure about your dates? By April 1945 Germany was bombed to smithereens and there was no German nazis fighting to speak of......friendly fire?
April 7, 1945, that was the tragedy - it was so close to the end of the war. My grandmother never recovered from it! Alec was an aide to a general, the car/jeep backed over a landmine - the driver survived, the general lost his legs, and Alec was killed. That was the story I heard - I was a very small child. I am sure of the date.
That is the tragedy of mines left behind in the ground. I understand that the German POWs were employed to remove the landmines in Europe after WW2. There are still unexploded bombs found from time to time which have to be either defused or exploded somewhere safe.
Well, it's good you had your own transcription in any case, machine subtitles sometimes can get a little confused, especially when the speaker has anything other than a plain American accent
(a couple of years ago a particular video on Youtube from the British Museum became unexpectedly famous because of the automatic subtitles: the speaker had a British accent and was describing "Horus, the falcon god of the river". AI transcribed that as "Horace, the fuckin' god of the river")
Your opinions voiced rather than written would go down as well. Just make sure that I can download them so that I can listen to them at home - I do my internetting at my local library (saves the expense of an internet connection).
One is never too old to learn...
And i like subtitles

Ooppss left out the name of the Beattie film, it was Shampoo hence Gunston's question 🙄
Well, AI is wild. How about Ichi and Chappy interviewing you?

That makes sense - thanks!
BTW - DaUS left millions of as yet unexploded mines in Vietnam, Iraq and other places......still killing......mostly children!

Captions? YES! I approve .
Use AI to have your cat as a close companion interview you. !
