National Podcast Post Month
National Podcast Post Month (NaPodPoMo) is a challenge to podcasters to post 30 episodes in 30 days. Here are the daily episodes I posted in November 2017. In most of these episodes I share clips from some the old cassette tapes that I’ve been lugging around for years. This project gave me the right level of motivation to start digitizing and logging these tapes.
Orange Chairs and Cows – NaPodPoMo-001
Even though I don’t have the old cassette tapes I recorded with my dad when I was a child, I do have some tapes that capture him just fine. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_001_2017_96.mp3
Blame Elvis – NaPodPoMo-002
By a certain age, we ought to know that it is useless to try to impress someone. Or at least we should know not to do it at the expense of who we are. This episode is part of a series I’m doing for National…
Mount Rushmore – NaPodPoMo-003
Thinking I recorded over an interview with my dad, I hoped to find him on the other side of the tape. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_003_2017_64.mp3
Driving to the Moon – NaPodPoMo-004

Hard Place to Find – NaPodPoMo-005
I still have dreams about driving that car. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_005_2017_96.mp3
This Way to the Pit – NaPodPoMo-006
My dad and I take Kathleen back to Idaho via Butte, MT. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_006_2017_96_Butte.mp3
Her Feet Looked Cold – NaPodPoMo-007
Old cassette tapes prove that a story I’ve told multiple times is wrong. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_007_2017_96_Runaway.mp3
Better than Planned – NaPodPoMo-008
I get an idea for a podcast episode for National Podcast Post Month (30 episodes in 30 days). When I try to get Brian to say something that he has said a zillion times before, it doesn’t go as planned. But we have a good…
How We Met – NaPodPoMo-009
I wanted a better “how we met story” to tell the neighbors. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_009_2017_96_OurStory.mp3
Getting off the Couch – NaPodPoMo-010
Superheroes on a bridge entice me to leave the house. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_010_2017_96_SuperHero.mp3
Reading the Situation – NaPodPoMo-011

To the Bridge – NaPodPoMo-012
Even after the protestors failed to stop the war, they continued to show up at the peace bridge. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_012_2017_96_Bridge.mp3
Meeting Myself – NaPodPoMo-013
I finally have an answer to a question people kept asking me. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/QuOTeD_NPPM_013_2017_96_Affil.mp3
Googling Dennis – NaPodPoMo-014
In 2003 I recorded two people having a political debate. Why do we keep having the same argument? http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_014_2017_64_Dennis.mp3
Electable – NaPodPoMo-015
It’s 2004 at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. Some delegates of Dennis Kucinich think it’s too early to throw their support to John Kerry. But there is a lot of pressure to do exactly that. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_015_2017_96_Convention.mp3
Fragmented – NaPodPoMo-016
Is there a home for Liberals in the Democratic Party? http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_016_2017_96_Listen.mp3
Toilet Paper – NaPodPoMo-017
The kids get together to make some prank phone calls. Do kids still do that in the age of evil teleswindlers? http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_017_2017_96_Prank.mp3
The Studio – NaPodPoMo-018
Using a shared public access television studio wasn’t always convenient. But the space was inviting and the rice krispie bars were a big plus. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_018_2017_96_Personals.mp3
Finding Money – NaPodPoMo-019
About eight years ago, I made a super short movie based on a story a friend told me. I called it Dollar Signs. In this video, the way I used some old interviews about work and school is similar to the audio montage style that…
The Party Planner – NaPodPoMo-020
My sister gets the credit for organizing a family reunion. Every detail has been considered and now the impossible has happened. Most of us will be there for my dad’s birthday. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_020_2017_96_Phone.mp3
Windy Moon – NaPodPoMo-021
Craters of the Moon was really beautiful. And windy. It was really windy. I can’t think of a better reminder of the time the three of us climbed up these endless hills. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_021_2017_96_Moon.mp3
Our House – NaPodPoMo-022
Even though it was a buyer’s market, it took us forever to find our house. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_022_2017_64_House.mp3
Aha Moments – NaPodPoMo-023
Brian and I continue a conversation about podcasting. I mention one of many aha moments where I realize that podcasting feels like the right track. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_023_2017_64_Aha.mp3
The Machine – NaPodPoMo-024
The reason my voicemail is often full isn’t because I’m a super busy person in high demand. It’s because I don’t like to delete my messages until I’ve had a chance to archive them. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_024_2017_64_Machine.mp3
Roommates – NaPodPoMo-025
Listening to these old voice messages brought me back to an old fourplex in Minneapolis. Good times. Good times. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_025_2017_64_Roommate.mp3
Canyon Lake – NaPodPoMo-026
We gathered at the Canyon Lake Reunion Lodge in Rapid City, South Dakota for my dad’s 80th birthday. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_026_2017_64_Birthday.mp3
Bus Ride – NaPodPoMo-027
A Greyhound bus crashes into a semi truck just outside of Macon, Georgia. This is my mom’s story, which she retells when her grandson asks her about the shoe. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_027_2017_96_Bus.mp3
Moving According to Voicemail – NaPodPoMo-028
A continuation of episode #NaPodPoMo-25 where we listen to more phone messages. While my friend Dan makes arrangements to dramatically downsize, George W. Bush is elected president. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_028_2017_64_Moving.mp3
Your Messages – NaPodPoMo-029
I share a few messages from listeners. Plus, an invitation to produce a QuOTeD episode. Also, the vacation report. The Badlands get high marks. Wow! Beautiful! Go! http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_029_2017_64_Mail.mp3
Stowaways – NaPodPoMo-030
My sister and I recall hiding in the back of the family car. http://media.blubrry.com/quoted/content.blubrry.com/quoted/Q_NPPM_030_2017_96_Behind.mp3
