So many people I talk to think that podcasting is easy.
I promise you it is not. Anyone can sit down and record yourself talking for an hour, that is the easiest part of the process. After that you need to edit it into a cohesive program, you need to add music or credits, and you need to post it online and then promote it. Did you realize there was so much work involved? My friends never do, they get wrecked on cannabis and then pitch me ideas on why they would make an awesome podcast host. None of them ever follow through, because no one wants to put in the work, they just want to smoke marijuana and idly speculate. The strangest part of this is how cannabis seems to make the people around me act goofy and lazy, while it has quite the opposite effect on me. I spend 20 or 30 hours a week working on my podcast, and I smoke cannabis through the entire process. For me cannabis brings clarity of thought, so I can block out the entire rest of the world and focus on the project at hand. Cannabis makes other people want to sit on the couch and watch TV, but it makes me want to go into the studio and record an episode. Cannabis fuels my creativity, and makes me feel that I am just around the corner from major success. I get so many benefits from smoking cannabis, it makes me sad that other people don’t experience it the same way.
