Hello Blindfoldistas.
First of all, if you’ve been with me from the start, you may have noticed that I’ve switched from MailChimp to Substack. I needed a website and a mailing list. It made sense to kill two birds with one stone.
If you signed-up since my last update - welcome. Thanks very much for coming along for the ride.
Second, I may still be a few weeks away from having an actual, published, something-people-can-actually-download-and-listen-to podcast, but I do now have a logo. Well, I do if I can resist the temptation to keep fiddling with it. Assuming I manage that, what you see at the head of this newsletter is that logo. It seems only fair you guys see it first.
And finally, I have been busy learning how to record a trailer for Invisible Chess this week? Did I mention before I’ve not the faintest clue what I’m doing?
It’s been somewhat of a tortuous week, to be honest. Bigger respect than ever to Ben Johnson, The Chess Pit, Chess Feels and all the other podcasters who make it sound so easy when, as it turns out, it’s no such thing.
The good news is that I’m starting to feel like I’m getting the hang of it. My intention is to publish the trailer, for good or ill, on Monday next week (19th September).
Whatever ends up out there on the interwebs, you’ll be the first to hear about it.
Well, it’s time to head back to the Digital Audio Workstation. Thanks again for your interest in The Invisible Chess Podcast.
See you next week.
