In February of 2016, I tried an experiment. Podcasting was gaining interest, so I thought, why not get into the game myself?
So, I produced my first podcast, an interview with Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, in February of 2016. I have been producing podcasts on a fairly consistent basis ever since.
If you haven’t listened to my podcasts for a while, here’s a reminder of what I have to offer.
First, I try to post regular conversations with local people with something important to say. Recently, there have been LarryInFishers podcasts about the upcoming Spark Fishers Festival, efforts to help businesses and residents when the big State Road 37 construction begins later this summer, and an interview with Sophie Foley, Fishers High School grad who won a second place prize from C-Span for her short documentary film on the Constitution and freedom of speech. I even recorded a conversation with my wife Jane about our recent trip to New York City. I have posted podcasts with political candidates and election officials, as well as others key to what is happening in and around Fishers.
Then there is the long-running podcast series I call the Arts&Fishers podcasts. It consists mostly of film reviews, although I do occasionally review local arts events as well. Lately, I have posted reviews on films such as Late Night and Rocketman,
Finally, there is the film review series with my podcasting partner Adam Aasen, which we call “Hamilton County Goes To The Movies.” We started that podcast series in the summer of 2017, but needed to push the pause button in 2018. I was preparing to travel the state teaching for Indiana University and Adam was about to become a father for the first time. Adam was also a Carmel City Council candidate. Adam’s beautiful daughter was born last December and he is enjoying his first Father’s Day as a dad himself. He won the Republican nomination for the City Council seat in the May primary election.
Adam and I may have paused the podcast last fall but we decided to come back. We may not post every week, but we will as film releases warrant.
So, check out my podcasts. They are available a a variety of platforms where you can find podcasts. I have had tens of thousands of “listens” (times were a person has listened to most or all of a podcast) since February of 2016. I would appreciate you sampling what I have to offer.
Also, if you listen on iTunes, take a moment to rate the podcast and write a brief comment or two. I would appreciate it.
Here are links to a few of the places where you can find my podcast.
