Getcha Some Productions Podcast Episode 13

https://reverb.grsm.io/GetchaSome

A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between.

Not your typical “how-to” podcast: For a new listeners, each episode is a live business meeting. We are figuring out how to build a music production company (a media empire) as we go and listeners come along for the ride.

Every podcast is a business meeting, every business meeting is a podcast. This podcast is (always) candid and unrehearsed.

In this episode we discuss:

Lucky 13!

Word to the mutha!!

How the hell are we gonna come up with something to talk about every week on this podcast?

What is the format of this podcast?

This is just a huge list of things that we can talk about each week so we don’t run out of ideas!

First we restate what the purpose of the podcast is again! This is our audience’s opportunity to tune in and listen while we build a media empire from the ground up. This is episode 13 so we are just getting started and really don’t know what we’re doing yet.

We spend a little bit of time talking about how I (Keith) want to write a song called Cannonball Adderall. My idea was to have a song or maybe an entire band where I’m playing a fusion style guitar but with that fluid melodicism that Cannonball Adderley has. I compare Cannonball Adderley to a robotic hummingbird or a laser beam hummingbird or something. Because he’s very dodgy. He’s in and out.

While I was thinking about this song a few weeks ago, Dan and I had a conversation and Dan brought up Adderall. And that reminded me about wanting to write that song called Cannonball Adderall. So then of course we agreed that we had to write this song. This is pretty much the point of the podcast. Its purpose is to bring us together and make us be more creative.

Then we talked a little bit about the process of composing a song with Cannonball Adderley in mind. So I was saying that, since he’s more in the R&B jazz (Post Bop or Hard Bop) sort of thing (which is very steeped in the blues) I decided that it was gonna be based on mixolydian.

Don’t forget, the second part of it is Adderall so we have to add The Adderall component in. So I was saying that it should be up-tempo and perhaps slightly frenetic in its energy.

This is just the beginning. But the wheels are turning. And, to restate it, again, this is what this podcast is about it’s about creating content. It’s about writing music.

I think Dan is getting exhausted by my list at this point! LOL!

Go big or go home, right?

Stay tuned for the incoherent ramblings of a madman.

Of course Dan is the voice of reason (and a comic relief) and he rightfully points out that my list is a very wide range of topics it would probably be a good idea to narrow it down a little bit.

He points out that, probably, any one of those things could be grown into a successful Podcast let alone all them. So we should take into account our work life balance and how we choose to pursue the material that we covering the podcast. Which is very wise! I’m not trying to be wise at this point so that’s probably clear.

Dan, very wisely, says that we should choose one or two of the items on the list and decide which one would make us feel the best. Which few of them will make us feel the best and then go hard on those. Then we’ll have the most amount of fun and will be more likely to produce the highest quality content.

The interview idea also got Dan very interested because he likes the idea of putting the focus on someone else and getting out of himself and also meeting and learning about other musicians. Which is great. Of course that’s the whole point.

This is a business so we should be focused on and creating tangible value but not just for our listeners and customers but for ourselves as well. That’s the only way this will be sustainable.

Besides, if we do interviews we could lay back a little bit be back in the cut.

Thanks, as always to Colin Gray of the The Podcast Host, for his instruction.
