Granny Has A Podcast

The truth about podcasting (and about life): before you go and do something, you gotta do something else first. First, I wanted to get back into focusing on voiceover work. So before I could do that, I had to step into the 21st century and build out a little audio studio, because post-pandemic, that’s not an option. It’s a necessity. And before I could do that, I had to plow into actually, finally, dealing with the junk in the basement that was not quite hoarding, but not quite organized either.

And so it came to pass that I began to invest in my business with intent to commit Excellence. Threw away, donated, repurposed; still in progress. Put the table one way and then other. Replaced & upgraded a few pieces of equipment. And part of this whole thing has been the creation of this fab little podcast, as a sort of yoga practice for my audio chops, and as a current body of work.

Behold, I even consulted such wizards as George Nowik and the legendary “Uncle” Roy Yokelson, in order to achieve actual, legitimate, broadcast quality audio. And there’s a lot to learn. You never stop. But it’s here, it’s happening, the audio I create at Happy Cat Ranch is at last good enough to offer as a professional service. Not just for you, gentle listener, but also for strangers who might become a person’s paying clients.

Because I wasn’t going to go start marketing this podcast, or my general usefulness as a voice actor and audio producer, until I knew I could deliver the goods. I am too damn picky after all those nice radio stations and highfalutin’ production rooms in my past. A gal has to be true to her own damn legend. Even if she is largely making it up as she goes along.

ESPECIALLY if she’s largely making it up as she goes along.

So stay tuned. Season 2 episode 3 is coming. And I have an account on WasTwitter now (“X”), @grannyhasapod, so please feel free to enjoy that.

And slowly but Shirley, she persisted.
