=====================================================================
Today isn’t
a usual Podcast Vault post, as I am not proposing a new take or a filler
YouTube clip. I will refer you back to what I provided as
commentary when I originally issued the montage.
What I will
do instead is use this opportunity to do my “Year in Review”.
We will all
agree that 2020 is a forgettable year, dominated by the pandemic, the
public health emergency and the socio-economic impacts that followed. Speaking
for myself, I was fortunate that I could work from home, and that my immediate
family has (so far) avoided contracting the ‘Rona.
As far as
our activities are concerned, I kept going in the hope that my posts and shares
could serve as a momentary distraction to our daily concerns. In 2020, we
completed our Project 366 and launched with another daily podcast
series, this time focused on our Friday Blogs ad Podcasts. We are now nearly a
third of the way through that series, and are on track to publishing our 350th
montage next week (as we traditionally do for milestones, it will be an
extended montage that blows past our self-imposed 90-minute limit).
The series
will conclude on Tuesday August 31st with Montage #365, a “Fifth
Tuesday” quarterly release which will introduce our “anniversary series” for
the Tuesday Blog. Look for more on that when we get close!
The pace at
which we have been publishing new podcasts has been somewhat unpredictable ; we
have 16 montages planned between now and late August, which maps out to about 2
a month, though the timing is interweaved with our greater calendar. Please
consult the calendar (or subscribe to our podcasts) so you don’t miss anything!
As for the
Tuesday Blog, we will continue to publish them fortnightly with both YouTube
and Pod-O-Matic shares. As this year will be our 10th
anniversary of the Tuesday Blog, I plan to resurrect “classic” music
link/YouTube playlist shares and will interleave them with our Vinyl’s
Revenge and Cover 2 Cover series.
In the
Fall, we resumed providing some content on OperaLively – mostly in the form of
“Short Stories” that are coupled to already planned Daily Podcasts. I plan to
keep to that formula until the Fall, where we may provide more Opera
programming – as our collaboration with Luiz and his forum are also nearing the
10 year mark.
Before
sharing our “video favourites” (a running playlist of most of the single clips
we used throughout the year), I wanted to again thank our friends and followers
for their continued support and (too few) comments against our material. I’d
love to see more of you subscribe to our Podcasting channel, though I’m always
pleased to see you subscribe to our YouTube channel…
Happy Holidays to all
