#64 What's In A Name? | A Music Junkies Podcast as Guest on New Cleveland Radio.Net With Karen
Karen was amazed by the MUSIC JUNKIES' name. "Why that name?", Karen asked me. Where could I start? I love music like a junkie and it just popped into my mind. I didn't even know it would ever be a Podcast! There are others out there named the same, however, they were nothing like what I was doing. Gamers and such. Mine was going to be all about music.
Interesting that Karen thought that Canada was not about music like the US. I have to disagree kindly. We have many amazing musicians and Canadians love music. However, I can respect that some people in different countries don't know that.
The whole Podcast, where did it start? A friend, a daughter, interested, yet not sure. I put out an ad on Kijiji looking for extraordinary stories, and they were depressing. I already work in an industry that was already emotionally exhausting at times. I wanted something FUN! So my husband, Tyler, and I discussed playlists and how they affect our lives. Music - connecting with memories. And that is how it began, and I include some crazy questions too.
It is so refreshing to get "yes" instead of "no", and my creativity has been so excited about coming out. It's such a nice balance when you are so number, black and white focus on the financial industry, and just having fun with guests and learning about the fun, and sometimes an emotional attachment to their music. However, the emotional part is also so important and others out there can relate.
I explained to Karen that I don't believe that artists don't understand the impact their songs have on those listening. YOU, my junkies, DO KNOW.
Asked Karen, "if you don't like the songs sent to you by your guest, how do you deal with it?" Karen said she was a snob. I am not. However, I understand about "catching my attention". With me, it helps me design my questions for the guest and build fun in their environment.
What is your playlist? Write it out. And then write another a month later, or 6 months later, or a year later. You would be surprised how they change. Yes, your favorites will stay. However, the subs will change, even if with only 10. What is happening in your life will quite often reflect your top 10 music choices. Try it out...
