Promos

IN BETWEEN the “I don’t give a damn” of Friday afternoon and the “We’re gonna take this hill, boys!” of Monday morning, there’s a special place. That place is called Pausing For Breath. Does it involve navel-gazing, ambient music and improbable physical contortions? Hell no! This is where you sit back and let someone else do the talking for a change.

PFB (as we like to call it) alternates between a talk format and a storytelling series. In Tales From PFB we’re currently serialising Fence People – yarns from the Dingo Fence. In vanilla PFB this week, your host talks about home renovations, Australian conscience-vote political craziness, how hot the world is, and more. It’s 30 minutes of… stuff!

For your convenience, the promo is in two formats – shorter and longer… although even the short one is surprisingly long:

• the long one – 2 min 2 secs
• the short one – 1 min 18 secs

Whether it’s ‘the silent treatment’ from a loved one, a neighbour not responding to a hello, or even a kids game of musical chairs, it hurts to be excluded and it’s something we can all relate to.

On Mr. Nice Guy Show #261, we hear from an internationally prominent psychologist, researcher, author and professor on the subject of ostracism. He tells us about why people do it, the serious effects, and how to react.

Here’s the 50-second promo

Thanks!!

In this together,
-M!

I’ve recently been invited to be a part of the Podcaster News network. Here are links to two promos about the new five-minute safety show available there.

I am also the producer and host of the Miami Valley Musicast and Home Safe 411.

I posted this earlier and removed it once I’d realized the sound file was wrong. This file is what I meant to have you check out.

This special promo announces a mid-February 2006 contest on the Journey Inside My Mind podcast. The picture shows a package that I’ll be opening live on this week’s show. Subscribe to the feed (see links below) so that you can catch the juicy details:

Background music is from Derek K. Miller’s “Had a Plan, Had to Change It”. Find more of Derek’s music on the Podsafe Music Network and via the Penmachine podcast.
