Only two little months after I said I'd produce the podcast, I actually got things together enough to produce something.
I am still concerned about the direction of the show, as in, more production? bumpers? sound fx? more frivolity? a perkier host? And what about content? Snarkier? More information for non-officials?
Well, any and all input is welcome. Please let me know, refereepov@gmail.com.
Thanks.

Stalled and getting stallier
Two months after what should have been the release of the first podcast, I am still hoping to start recording the first episode. Oh, hope. What have you done to me?
My thoughts have turned on the format of the podcast once again from attempting to get a co-host or a revolving door of co-hosts, to simply releasing a show of my stupid self and if I can drag someone kicking and screaming along with me on occasion, well, all the better.
Another couple of thoughts have entered the arena surrounding the show so I have managed a healthy distraction contemplating how to make my first million with them (instead of actually producing the show so I can have a springboard...the logic defeats me). But I am committing myself (and shall never be heard from again), to record show number one, take care of hosting the beast, get listed on iTunes and other outlets by the end of the month. A realistic goal, I fear (as I can accomplish all of the above tasks in an afternoon). I suppose what I am getting at is I will have a show available in the next couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way that if your first podcast isn't impressive, most won't check out another. As a result, I've been fretting about not just segments, but actual format, bumpers, theme music, length and have made no firm decisions on any of the above.
As I plan on spending the majority of the day at the soccer park here in Bellingham this Saturday with a gaggle of other refs, I will be actively seeking inspiration and ideas from the masses. I may also be able to finally finish photoshopping the album artwork for the show (something I have had in my head for months but have yet to complete).
I do have a couple amusing stories regarding the high school season and the middle school season so far but as I should have a bit of content for show 1, I will save it for that forum.
Thanks for your patience. I can't imagine it will be worth the wait.
