Gonna Experiment A Bit With YouTube
It’s something to pass the time and toss a few more ideas into the ether.
I worked at ESPN for years — it’s still my longest single employer — and I’ve also worked at PBS and a few contract gigs, so I’ve dabbled in video production here and there but never been that good at it. I got laid off from a church gig (which seems like a tough thing to accomplish, but lo and behold I did it) on Thursday morning — utterly out of the blue, too — so I have some free time while I figure out what the heck is next, and I wanted to experiment with doing some more video. I’m way too old, IMHO, for TikTok , so I went with YouTube . I used to have a channel here in early 2022 about #addiction and #recovery, and I’ll still discuss those issues, but now the channel is called “Quiet Part Out Loud,” and we’ll spill the tea (ha) on various aspects of adulthood that we don’t discuss enough.
I read once that when you want to do something, you should just start it — as opposed to waiting for it to be perfect. So, that’s what I did here. It’s not perfect, but it’ll get better.
Feel free to check out this video, like it, subscribe to the channel, etc.
Have a blessed weekend.
