Doin' The New Thing & Nate Soundz

 With a show that has been around as long as From Radioland, things have to change a bit. To do this correctly, one should tread carefully into new areas unlike Ric who moves with reckless abandon. This is the "new" show and it's re-tooled format (whatever that means) and as such along comes an interview with a new artist from California, Nate Soundz plus you will hear one of his tracks. 

Also in this episode, Ric gets into some news from Radio Memphis in how the pandemic may have been a kick in the pants at the station, things are starting to return to some sort of "normal" (also, whatever that means) as the original shows begin to return to the air.

Change is Like the Wind. Sometimes, It Blows

 It's come to this. At least for this moment. After a lot of behind the scenes wrangling, organization, scheduling and copious amounts of adult language, the latest chapter in the tale that is the show of From Radioland, Ric is ready to unveil all the new changes. 

As with any show such as this, you have to make some adjustments. Some of those adjustments aren't that easy. In the end, we hope it's worth it for you in the audience. Not that there were any real secrets here, From Radioland is evolving to it's newest format with the added bonus of one other act of defiance. What is that, you ask? Well, take a listen.

It Ain't The Same

 As production of From Radioland begins to shift from it's current format over to a different type of show, Ric takes some time here to talk about what the podcast experience has been like for him this far. There is a notion for anyone getting into this form of entertainment of what they think they will expect. 

For a former broadcaster (presumably from the world of corporate radio), it is a vastly different experience. How so? Mainly, the audience. Yes, you people. This is not a bad thing at all. It's just that so many people who go from one world to the podcasting world will have their preconceived notions shattered. For something that seems so easy and straightforward has now become rather complicated. 

In a couple of words, audience apathy.

Disorganization Skills

As work is underway in re-tooling From Radioland, Ric takes a few moments to talk about one of the facets involved in the production of this show. It should be noted that what he mentions here can (and should be) applied to any endeavor you may partake in should it be your own podcast or your everyday work at hand. 

In the past, Ric has always had issues with dealing with a calendar. Sure, there are some handy digital applications out there which make the whole process easier, except Ric seems to have to make an appointment in his calendar to update his calendar. The frustration can run him and you in circles.
