What The Hell Happened? | MRP BONUS
The Metal Robot Podcast (2023-06-18) Where was I? … It’s good to be back! Let me tell you, I've been itching to reconnect with all of you, and boy, do I have a story to share.
Now, picture this: a hiatus I never planned, a podcast episode stuck in limbo, and a whirlwind of excuses and challenges keeping me from hitting that publish button. But fear not, because in this bonus episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the chaos that ensued.
From battling my own perfectionism to juggling multiple hats as a one-man show, I dive deep into the trials and tribulations of advanced podcast production, or as I like to call it: “why the fuck are there so many bells and whistles?” Trust me, it's a rollercoaster ride of adrenaline-fueled deadlines, creative roadblocks, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
But wait, there's more! I'm not just here to spill the tea on my struggles—I'm also dishing out some major changes to the Metal Robot Podcast format. Say goodbye to the Metal Robot Newsroom and video podcasts (for now), and get ready for a fresh spin on reviews that puts the spotlight on up-and-coming bands you won't want to miss.
So, why should you hit play on this episode? Simple. It's raw, it's real, and it's a testament to the passion and dedication driving this podcast forward. Whether you're a die-hard metal enthusiast or just curious about the inner workings of podcasting, this episode has something for everyone.
