Why would YOU do a Podcast?

That's the question I think everyone who does or doesn't have a following asks themselves. There are so many podcasts already, who cares? My view on that is, I don't know, that's not my concern, really. Why climb a mountain?

When I started doing stand-up comedy, I remember I didn't care what anyone thought about it. The same thing "there's so many people doing it." "you have no industry connections," "the odds are too long." And all the rest of the typical things. Starting out in stand-up was hard for me. I had to do free labor and whatever else to secure very bad midweek 'spots'. I did not care, it was absolute obscurity but nothing mattered to me other than doing stand-up comedy.

After some time my act got better, I began to make friends, I got better spots and didn't have to trade favors for time, in fact I was being paid. It was amazing, things were looking pretty good. However, I wasn't fully prepared for toxic people, temptations that come along with even moderate success and soon found myself changing directions. Hopefully, we'll get into all of this as the podcast grows.

Writing remarks and doing gala events in NYC was an eye opening of all kinds to how things really work and how thigs actually get done. I learned about the nativity that so many of us have in life at pretty much any age.

So, why a podcast? Because the odds are long, because I want too, because to not care and do it anyway is the art of joy, it's the secret of youth and that's always the thing worth doing. -KK
