You know, "2019" seems to roll off the tongue pretty well. My wife was trying to get our Alexato play the podcast and she discovered that it's hard to find this "Ericast" but there's at least one other "Eric Cast" out there. But I'm pretty sure I'm the original. I know at least one other person listens to the Dweeb Thoughts feed, so in 2019 I might try to be more regular about that.
But the real thing I'm focusing on is getting rid of saying "ummmm" because I'm realizing it's really distracting! Maybe I'll make that an official 2019 goal, or at least a quartly one. (Mark Mason mentioned "The 12 Week Year" in his Late Night Internet Marketing podcast, episode 159: Keys to Achieving Your Goals in 2019)
Also, I'll do fewer personal details (I think, maybe?) because I noticed when going through the back-catalog that it's hard to get to the meat of a podcast topic while slogging through the basics of my life. That won't change for the nearly 14 years of back-catalog on the podcast, but maybe it'll be better in the next 14 years.
Listener feedback will still be key to the Ericast. It's one of the best features of Seth Godin's "Akimbo" podcast so I'd like to keep that up here.
Closing with the life updates rather than opening with them (because you didn't think they'd disappear entirely, would you?) I have a weird problem where something is syncing old photo collections into my Photos directory, which causes my fairly small SSD drive to fill up, which causes Windows 10 to turn on automatic compression so it can function. Very odd. So I'm declaring auto-syncing bankruptcy right now and am uninstalling Google Drive (that was easy) and iCloud (which is taking forever... leading me to wonder if that's what was causing the syncing problem). Stay tuned to find out more.
As always, share your thoughts. Next week I think I might talk about what's on my podcast roster for 2019 -- I did that before but it's been a few years now, and tastes change. Questions? Problems? Worries? Call 701-645-3742, email me (eric) at ericast.com, or reach out on social media.
