After multiple failed reboots of something attempting to identify as the podcast formerly known as GrokTALK!, we are at it again. Previous failures to launch were plagued (mostly) by my opinion that the product was crap.
See how I think I look out for you?
The remote thing was not great. If you are a climate stooge, remote feels like it might be great for The Environment™ (no travel time), but several remote iterations failed, in my opinion, to produce anything even I would sit through, with a few exceptions. I’m a tough room. I like seamless crosstalk, an unmistakable sense of ensemble engagement (good banter), and adequate levels of snark. But if the post-production takes longer than recording the actual podcast, I’m not doing that. I don’t have the time.
And then, I discovered Riverside, which had incredible potential. However, we still had some issues with post-production burdens and the final product, which meant that when life intruded (even just a tiny bit), it was easy to look for something else to do. And Look, I did! But Riverside has made some changes this year, and I liked them so much that here we are.
Topics
Skip, and I talked about how Chris Sununu isn’t running for President yet, but he’s been a bit more open about the circumstances in which he would and when he would announce if he does.
That transitioned to other interested candidates as well as a stop by the Biden Camp, which just announced a re-election run, RFK Jr., Dems rigging primaries, a nod to a post yesterday about F-Bombs in New Boston, after which Skip alludes to something similar coming soon out of Rochester, NH, and the banter in between.
Nothing fancy, no format, just me and Skip chatting about this and that edited down.
