A Podcast? Oh, you flatterer, you!

Sort of a nice thing happened this week…I got invited to be interviewed by the Baltimore Sun for a podcast – can you imagine? With all that’s happening in the world, they’re out of ideas – they must be to want to talk to me! Exchanged some emails with a very congenial and witty fellow who wanted to talk to me about the blog and why I write and what I write and blah, blah, blah. I was pleased they found the blog interesting enough to want to feature it on their not-yet-activated podcast, but I’d rather not talk about me…

Which is probably a lie – I’m probably far and away my favorite subject in a subconscious sort of way. But if I had to define the blog I’d be stumped, since I spend almost as much time writing utter nonsense as I do trying to be serious. Lately, I also spend an awful lot of blog-time getting my head shoved into the toilet by the Christians and Catholics to whom I am supposed to be appealing, and quite often by members of the Conservative movement of which I am supposed to be a part. They seem to hate it when I step outta line, and I’m a bit of a wanderer!

Wanderer though I may be, I suspect that, like a cheap wine, I don’t travel well – venturing into podcast territory would probably expose me as a stammering fool or a shrill harpy, depending on the moon, and no one needs to have that inflicted upon them.

Anyway…I was sort of flattered. And horrified. All at the same time!

Siggy has asked me to do a podcast with him, and I’m considering it. But only because it’s Siggy!

Which leads me to ask: are podcasts things you guys actually listen to? Do you like them? When I send you over to listen to one, do you? Is this something you’d like to see from this blog? Perhaps an Anchoress/Buster podcast, sometime? Egad, does that mean I’m going to have to deal with technology and stuff? You know I’m useless in that regard. And in plenty of other regards, too, come to think of it…

I’d appreciate your input on the podcasting idea. I suspect, as I said, that I’d stink at it…but I admit to being a little intrigued.
