S01E51 Podcasting Update & Future Plans

Hello & Welcome to yet another episode of A Talks after a long hiatus and it's sad to resume it with some bad news, but its happening because it had to be done. Rest In Peace Ustaad Zakir Hussain, you will always be in our hearts and we will always be thankful to you for your rhythms and melodies. . Apology: I recorded this episode on a very short notice and without much preperation, so the background noise could come across as a distraction, I sincerely apologise for any compromise in the quality of this presentation. .

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen And welcome to another episode of A Talks where I take you along with me into some scary zone, I know it's the very first episode of the year and yet here I am with something scary and not very pleasant, but hear me out, I recorded this in December last year but just couldn't find the time to edit it and upload it, so now I thought why not start this year with something chilly bcz it also goes very well with the current vibe of chilly winters we are facing currently here in North India. As some or most of you know Stephen King is one of my most favourite authors (barring some of his current work, which is downright boring & draggy), he always manages to grab my attention to his awesome storytelling prowess and I totally feel a part of that surrounding. Someone close to me suggested me to watch The Boogeyman movies but before that I wanted to read the story, so when I did I thoroughly enjoyed it, at that very moment I thought I should share it with you guys as well because great stories and narratives should be told and popularised so more and more people could enjoy them. In that process I recorded the story and decided to make it a part of A Talks so it remains here forever. I play all the characters myself and some of you might know that my love for voiceovers and voice acting is profound, however that being said, I am in no way a "Pro" or full time voiceover person, but I can safely say that this hobby has so far kept me sane & alive, except the impact it has made on my bank account by way of making me spend so much on all sorts of gear (lol). But, nonetheless, if some of you or even one of you enjoys what I create and it brings a smile on your faces, I think the grind is worth it. So without wasting much more of your time, let's dive into today's storytelling episode.

I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I did while reading the book and then talking about it. I hope all of you are doing great and keeping well, I shall see you in the next one Gear Used In This Episode Microphone: Shure SM7B Mixer: Rodecaster Duo Headphones: Sennheiser HD560S Boom Arm: Rode PSA-1+

Today I decided to talk about one of my most favourite characters on TV from one of my most favourite show on TV ever! It’s not a very long episode on purpose, I simply wanted to share some of my views on Dwight and so I just did something quick to get the job done. I hope all of you are doing great, I shall see you in the next one!

Warning! Spoilers ahead for more than one book in here, so please be advised before you proceed Today I decided to record some of my views on a book that I read today, it was a mysteriously romantic book which kind of did not really live up to my expectations,  so while I just wanted to share my views with my discord buddies but then when I sat down to record it kind of came out to be podcast material, so I thought why not share this on the podcast with all of you as well! Now I am not gonna say a lot about it in the show notes but I think this was really fun to do. So without much further ado, let's jump in!

Hello wonderful people, I have been MIA since some time but nothing to worry, I am not going anywhere!

I hope all of you are taking good care of yourself, see you all very soon!

Hello & Welcome to yet another instalment of A Talks and today as promised I have decided to talk about a film that I watched recently and right at the outset I am not one of your critical movie analysts but I am just your regular cinema watching and experiencing guy who like good films and then likes to talk about them, 2 days back I watched a Telegu film titled Sita Ramam on recommendation from a few friends on Twitter & Instagram and then yesterday when I did this podcast's 50th episode, I had announced that from now on there will be movie & book discussions on this show as well, so keeping my promise here is a very first ever movie discussion podcast episode just for you all. I am not gonna make the show notes for these episodes super large and rather I would want you to get all the info right from the episode itself, I hope you will enjoy this one and I shall see you soon in the next one!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen I know it has been some time since there was an episode of A Talks, and it has indeed been a long hiatus but nothing to worry , I am now back! I am back & how! There have been some significant events in my life besides the fact that this Podcast is now 50 episodes old (which might not even be such a huge deal) but some other events have occurred which have led me to record this episode and bring it for all of you, all of you who have been a constant source of motivation, inspiration & guidance. This episode is about you and me, its from my heart to yours, thanking you for everything you have done in the form of your unparalleled support and never fading confidence in whatever I do, without you this was not possible. In this episode I go through what happened over the past few months and years to what I think A Talks would sound or look like (metaphorically, considering it's an audio show) in the near future, it's present form to any future additions that I plan to make, I also talk about the other podcasts I do and what's in store for them. I acknowledge the contributions made by various people in my podcasting and audio journey in general, my microphone obsession and the passion for talking, I haven't touched on voiceovers on purpose coz I wanna talk about that in a separate episode some other day. In the end, you my wonderful listeners have all my heart and it's gratitude, I look forward to interacting with you and contributing to your lives in any which way I can, I have and I will always wish the best for you! I will see you in the next one!! Gear Used In This Episode Microphone: Shure SM-7B Interface: Audient ID4 Mk II Stand: Rode DS-1 DAW: Adobe Audition 2023
