I‘ve got in my head, yet again, the notion of doing a podcast. A few people have brought it up over the years, and one of those people brought it up this week. They didn’t have a great idea of what it oughta be, mostly they thought of it as a networking tool. And I think that’d be right. I don’t have a burning desire to communicate anything to anyone, apart from love and mostly in the direction of the two women currently sleeping upstairs. 

I reckon a networking podcast that’s just me talking with people across Vermont about what they do and how they do it, that’d be interesting to me, and that’s the only audience I think anyone ought to much care about. 

So what do I call it? Eli’s incredibly selfish networking podcast? Vermont on a wire? Friends of These Green Hills? Why is this thus and what is the reason for this thusness, or the WITTAWITRFTT podcast? I suppose that sounds nice. It’d be cool to do with my buddy Shawn, he knows loads of people and I like talking with him. He thinks he has a bad voice, and I think I have ab ad voice, we’re a match made in heaven, no doubt about that. 

We could talk to some Burton people, the pizzeria ida guy, Paul, Michael, Giovanna & Mia, Tyler over at Filabot, Ikuzi at Romulus, Fiona because she’s my friend, Gabe too for the same reason. And I bet they’d all know people that we could talk to, too, and on and on it’d go. Is it interesting enough to simply talk about Vermont and their time in this place? Is that worth listening to? I think if it’s done in earnestness with love it might be. 

There’s that old show “stuck in Vermont,” and I have hated that title since I first heard it as a kid. It won’t be like that.
