Open Line Friday

Since May? Wow. Crazy. Well, those great memories aside, let's get down to it. What happened to The Reverend Preaches? Why did I stop after having a good amount of people hooked in to listening to me? Two words: Rustic job.

I'm not going to get into what the job was, but I was cut off from the ability to record for 3 months. OK, that explains the summer, what about fall and part of winter? Well, I had a lot of stuff happen, and at one point, I found myself in the tents of Oktoberfest half a world away. So that gets us to just recently.

I tried, believe me, I tried to start it up again. After losing a great start to a computer crash, nothing seemed to work. I started repeating things from old shows, making bad music choices, etc. I wanted to keep doing a podcast, but I just couldn't do it by myself.

The Reverend Preaches is sadly, no more. I wish I didn't have to write that sentence, but what is, is. It's been a wild ride and I've enjoyed the hell out of it. I hope that any that listened did as well.

Wait, hold on. Not by myself...but maybe...

I sent off an e-mail to a friend of mine who I enjoy discussing things with and who was also a regular listener to The Reverend Preaches asking him if he wanted co-host a podcast with me. He accepted, we recored, I did some slight edits, and that brings us to today.

So here's the skinny on the new show (in handy list form!):

• it's called Open Line Friday
• it's recorded late Saturday night/early Sunday morning
• there are no open lines
• the co-host's name is Grau
• there's good ol' ranting
• a guy named Matt was there too
• a new show will be released every week, on Sunday or Monday
• you'll be able to find us on iTunes shortly
  
• the url will stay the same
• no more full song breaks
• the intro is from the Dragon Ash song "Pull Up Roots"
  

So with out further ado, here is the direct link to the first episode:

We talk about cigars, football, Santa, and more!

Expect some changes to this site. For one, http://thereverendpreaches.com will become the main site. We will start to use Word Press, Grau might start to blog, and maybe some other people. I'm looking to set up interviews with various people. Some funs things are in store so stick around. As always, get pissed off, it's good for you.
