Podcast Ping's 13 Days of Halloween-Day 7

This show about headless ghosts marks the half way point.

Although this show uses a song I've used in past Halloween episodes, it's just too good a Halloween song to leave out. And I figured there's going to be those who haven't listened to the past Halloween episodes. (Just search through the Halloween labelled shows to find the past Halloween episodes.)

I'm glad I did these up ahead of time, although it still takes a little time to upload and post. But it gives me a good idea of what I'll need to do for Christmas. As with these specials, I'll probably post the night before since it makes it easier and it gives me more time should I forget to post. The slow part now is writing the poems but the recording and editing should go fairly quickly, provided I don't have a cold.

I've been selecting the music for the Christmas episodes today. Some of the music I've used before but I like it enough to use it again. I felt it better to use good music that I've played before rather than newer songs that aren't as good. The big job now is writing the poems; I'm about a quarter of the way there.

Today's show deals with ghosts.

The downloads so far have been a little slow, but it's still early. I suspect it should pick up more next week as more people get excited about Halloween.

I've been considering some changes for Podcast Ping next year but nothing is finalized yet. I consider the feed a literary channel, just as I consider Blue Hot Gossip a comedy channel. It's easier than creating new feeds. I was considering doing a classic epic poem, much like Beowulf (only a little more modern) but that would depend upon how much interest it got. I also would like to do one of my novels, but likely not The Unstoppable Ride since I'm having a hard time finishing it. It would be one I've already finished. But that won't be until next year. For this year there's just the Halloween and Christmas episodes, with hopefully a New Year's episode.

Podcast Ping's 13 Days of Halloween-Day 2

Here's the second of Podcast Ping's 13 Days of Halloween. I had to re-record this episode a few times to get the voice right, although most of the episodes were re-recorded to improve the voice.

I've decided to try and get these up the night before since it gives me more time should something go wrong like a server being down. And it allows listeners to get the episodes early enough, especially when the final day is Oct. 31st.

Podcast Ping's 13 Days of Halloween-Day 1

This is the first of the 13 Days of Halloween. The Count Cordova character comes from The Blue Hot Gossip Comedy Show, although I think I've only used him on one episode. It's a voice that I've had to work on and that I still don't have quite right; I was trying to avoid slipping into a hard Lugosi's Dracula impersonation.

I thought I'd get this up a little early. I'm in the EST timezone so I'm basically counting the days by that. I will try to get them up by noon provided all the servers are working okay. I may post the night before since it's a little easier than trying to do it in the morning. The episodes are finished so it's just a matter of posting them.

I've still a fair number of poems to write for Christmas, although it's hard to write Christmas stuff before Halloween. But I'll have a month plus whatever time before the episodes get posted so it shouldn't be a problem. I am reusing a few that I've written before but the majority will be new poems. The format still isn't finalized; I might have two songs per episode but I will have at least one. And while I would like to have a host like the Halloween episodes it might be too much work. I'll have to see how it goes.
