Over the past few days I have given you the reason why I podcast. I gave a little background to myself and that we are very green to this whole process. With this being said I am now going to try to show examples of our podcasting style over the duration of this blog. Hopefully I can flush out my own thoughts and ideas with this blog as a tool, b/c in no way shape or form am I a writer. Like the title says....
I'm just spitballing here but, the education institutions do not teach enough truths about the history of the world. Case in point today which is Columbus day here in the states. Now what I was taught was that Christopher Columbus sailed here by mistake. Which is true, he was trying to find a new way to India for spices or so I was taught. I was also taught he was the first to land on American soil. Not true, there were many before him the Vikings is just one example. The second part of him landing on American soil is also false. He never even stepped foot on North America. What he did do was locate the Bahamas, Cuba and Central America. Which that alone is a great feat considering people were afraid to sail past the horizon which they believed would have them fall off the edge of the Earth. So, my question is why not just tell us the exact truth to what he and his crew did? It obviously was no small accomplishment to discover this new land and new resources. I feel a little robbed as to my education when I was a child and being a father of 3 I hope they just get the truth.
This would be a small outline of how we would go about getting the podcast flowing. Chris(co-host) and myself would then add in what we find amusing to go along with this topic and branch off of the original topic to include similar ideas and possibly add in something that has nothing to do with it to further the conversation. Going forward with this blog I will be posting ideas and maybe some rants that may be included in the podcast.
