Spoiler: I Hate the Music
It's not that I hate it exactly, it's just that I can't stand listening to it anymore. My usual bit of swirling around on what this podcast is, isn't, and how I want to use it.

Night Brain Dreams Blog Reading
I'm experimenting again with this podcast: this time with a reading of a blog post I published earlier this week that was about some night brain dream and thoughts I had.
Recording note: Just tried going straight into Logic Pro without using any clean up or levelling process on the audio. I think I trail off too much at the end of sentences and would benefit from some levelling, but this way I can compare.

A Flaw in the Podcast's Design
Another meta episode where I discuss that the interesting and fun idea for this podcast is also potentially it's biggest flaw: sharing personal issues we're struggling with on the internet for anyone to hear isn't always a good idea.
Recording note: I'm still trying to find a good way to record and EQ my own voice. This episode suffers from #morningvoice where I realized after I recorded that I hadn't done much talking this morning so there's even more of a low rumble to my voice in your eardrums. Apologies in advance and I'll be taking it up with my editor (https://www.lemonproductions.ca).

ChatGPT Writes My Marketing Pitch
What if ChatGPT wrote the marketing pitch for Conversation with My Night Brain? With a little bit of prompting, I tried it out and the results kind of shocked me. I feel like it's probably a copy / paste from a different podcast or show's marketing materials, so I guess the only way to find out is to put it out on the internet and see what comes back!?

Having Energy to Do Something About It
This thought happens to be about some local church struggles, but is more generally about having energy to actually do something about it, rather than just talking about it - whatever it may be.
