Welcome to the New Year! This month at The Rock And Roll Guru, I’ve been covering New Year’s resolutions musically speaking. I talked about my desire to seek out new music and not fall back on the same handful of bands I always listen to. I’ve also discussed which bands I will try to see in concert this year. What I haven’t yet mentioned is my final musical resolution. That was to start a Podcast. And not just any podcast, but a podcast on my favorite band of all time … KISS!
That’s right, I have launched a podcast on KISS. The podcast is called The Psycho Circus: A KISS Album Podcast and it is a retrospective review of every KISS release. I analyze each album the band has put out in depth and provide commentary and opinions for each track on the album. I will also be covering their video releases, movies, and some bonus episodes of certain years in the band.
This is something that I have been working on behind the scenes for quite a while now. I actually started this process last summer by mapping out my vision for the show. Podcasting is something I’ve always wanted to do ever since Rob Rockitt and I did our short-lived podcast for Hard Rock Hideout. Podcasting is one of those bugs that bit me and never left, so I decided that it was time to take it up again.
Through several months of preparation, pain, discipline, and dedication, I was finally able to complete the podcast and have it ready to unveil to the world. I actually thought this was going to be available late last year, but I ran into some unexpected difficulties that cost me time. There was a lot that I had to learn about podcasting on the fly and much of it I got wrong several times before I finally got it right. Now that everything is corrected and posted, it’s full steam ahead!
What does this mean for the blog? Probably nothing to be honest. I don’t anticipate any changes with The Rock And Roll Guru. I still plan to write and post regularly. I may plug new episodes of the podcast from time to time and I will probably set up a link to the show’s web page, but other than that, I expect it will be business as usual here.
If you like KISS, please check out the podcast. Or if you like me, please check out the podcast! Right now, you can find current episodes at: https://psychocircuspodcast.wordpress.comThe podcast should be available on ITunes in a few days and I will be submitting it to other podcast directories as well, so eventually The Psycho Circus Podcast should show up in your favorite podcatcher app.
I am very excited about this new venture and look forward to doing this podcast for a long time. I have over 100 episodes listed that can be recorded, so I imagine this will go on for a long time. If you do listen to the podcast, please send me some feedback! I’d love to know your thoughts on the show!
The carnival has just begun!
