nostal-jia you!*
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009I came in tonight and had an email that someone had linked to a show I did called ‘pilot’. Now, if you know anything about me, I’ve produced more ‘pilots’ than I care to admit. Mainly because only about 5 of them ever ended up going farther than their initial offering. That being said, this was one I was proud of. Not for the video production, or the hosting - but for the simple fact that this was the first thing I had ever produced outside of the old ChinesePod shows.

I would hate to think my speaking my mind would compromise the Jedi/Padawan relationship I have with Ken, but that’s all. It’s just had me thinking about the past few years…
Anyway, yes. This was a scary thing to put out there. I had walked from CPod and was on my own - with the small few who followed me. I liked this for that reason and for the fact that this was before I had really soured on Shanghai. Kind of like looking at photos of you and your ex a year or so after the breakup.**
