Redoing Media – the podcast, anyway – is no more

by Betsy Richter on September 12, 2011

in Flotsam

As usual, Twitter is *the* new ‘breaking news’ source for those in the know. And my co-host Robert Wagner showed no mercy (or did he?) just mere minutes ago:

(The truth of the matter? I egged him into canceling the show.)

Why? It’s a labor of love for me – and a huge time/resource/cost suck for him.

Because he’s a friend, he’s indulged me for far far too long.

And because I can be a complete stone cold bitch, I will HEAR NOT ONE WORD of negativity aimed at Robert for canceling the show.

(See above: forced him into doing so. Because I have that power, yo.)

For those of you who listened… commented… were guests… sent me email/Twitter DMs, etc: THANK YOU. I love each and every one of you, and appreciate you giving us your time, energy and attention. (Yes, even when you disagreed, or thought our topics sucked.)

And to Robert: Words can’t possibly express the depth of admiration I have for you, nor can they adequately convey the appreciation I owe you.

(I know, I know: you’d have preferred admiration expressed in Cold Hard Cash. Sorry, fresh out. I blame those teens of mine…)

      Yep, ’tis true. Haven’t seen the last of me, tho…

    Well, that was fun! Nice work, y’all. Look forward to your next experiments. I was hoping we’d get to follow up on some of the conversations we started on the air. I guess we’ll have to do it in person!

      Thanks, Jon & Abraham. Nice to know that I had the RWW crew (some, anyway) in our corner!

    I enjoyed this show, especially in the last few months. It was always informative, and it definitely opened my mind to the possibilities of a lot of things.  It was like saying that the old days of taking the high and low roads are foolish, especially when it has always been possible to take different avenues, it was just about actually making the first step to new paths/directions.  Anyone who chooses to explore the archives will find it to be of value as I did.  To you Betsy and of course to Robert, thank you.

    Well, this sucks and not in a good way. I looked forward to this show every week and always learned something. Meh!

    Thanks to you both, rangi-chan and John Book. I’m glad you enjoyed the show, and please to know we’ll be missed. (that last bit sounds weird, but you both know what I mean, right?)

    Betsy,

       It has been great to listen to you on the air. I am certain that you will be back with a new media project in the near future. You have been a dedicated Internet media voice, with 61 episodes of goodness, on Cascadia.FM.

       I am sure I will see you around this weekend.

    You’ll be missed! If I can be of any assistance helping RD (or its successor) live on in another form or platform, don’t hesitate to write/call/tweet.
