Should I Start a Podcast in My Downtime?
19 March 2022
I think we all know that the correct answer is no, but let's just entertain the idea for a minute.
I will have some free time on my hands over the next couple of days/weeks/hopefully-not-too-many months, as I have left my job of the past six and a half years.
So yesterday, on what was my last day, I wrote a goodbye e-mail full of jokes and less-serious material to cover up for the fact that I was leaving because I was burned out, and that being left to cover the work of three people took its toll on me after more than a year and a half of trying.
After hitting send and disabling my notifications so that I couldn't see whether anyone replied to it, the idea then came to me that I could share this technique, and similar stories of people who got through bad situations by making jokes about it, through a podcast--and the podcast would be called:
Resillyence
Yes, it's a uniquely terrible idea, but maybe there's something to it.
