A convergence of an aging car-obsessed generation and a new form of unembodied interaction in the Internet are gradually changing the world of car clubs.
Emails are great, and I'm eager to see what you have to say. The podcast medium is hard for me to get my head around, since I'm not much of a podcast listener. I am beginning to line up my next one, though. It'll probably be an interview/dialogue with a friend, artist, and colleague. I think interaction is inherently more interesting than one person droning on and on. I was quite surprised that the podcast was about 30 minutes long. My script estimated that it would be about 17 minutes or so.
SUCH a great listen, Mark! I loved all that you had to say, and the sound effects were a cracking touch.
(I'm afraid I had to pause your delivery for a moment while I called up the Queen of the Night aria to listen to in its entirety - your clip of it had led to an aural itch requiring immediate scratching - but I soon switched back!)
That aria is a powerful one. And The Magic Flute is one of my favorite operas. I very clearly recall listening to the whole Met performance in the garage. Such a great one and super for the holidays! https://www.metopera.org/season/2022-23-season/the-magic-flute/ -- see the pictures!
I kinda stumbled into the opera background music, simply because of my schedule, though in some ways, it was a reacquaintance, since when I was young, I spent time with my father in our garage with the Met singing in the background.
Thanks, Holly. I listened to it myself, and I guess it's a decent first run at the medium. It's so weird to hear your own voice, you know. I think I'll stick with doing a podcast quarterly if time allows. Right now I don't know what I'll do for the next podcast, but I figure I have a couple months to think about it!
I’d count this a success ... but I have some thoughts I need to send you separately, too much for the comments section

Can't wait for the next one. Bravo!

Ooooh, great link - thanks!
Oooooh! Have saved this to listen to in my lunchbreak - right now I *should* be writing....! 😳 Looking forward to it!
Very professional! Sound effects and all! And I LOVED your comparison of cars and opera!

I envy you for living closer to the Met.
The Met is always magical!
Impressive, Mark! I enjoyed this podcast and look forward to the next installment.
