A long time ago, in a lifetime that seems far, far away…<\/p>\n

Somewhere in the mid-2000s, I was flying back and forth to England for work.\u00a0 At some stage I got it into my head that I wanted to read all of William Shakespeare’s plays… and in chronological order.\u00a0 There’s more than a little controversy over dating the works, but the two-volume set I bought used off of eBay back then claimed a chronological order so that’s what I went with.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, my brother insisted that I do a faux-primordial “garage band” podcast on my then new MacBook.<\/p>\n

I thought these files had been lost in the transfer of data from various computers over the years but I recently found them on an old portable hard drive I used from around that time.<\/p>\n

This then is a throwback to a simpler time, a time before the age of podcast overloads and an explosion of media choices.\u00a0 I recall when we first got cable in the mid-1980s it seemed overwhelming to have 30+ channels of entertainment, news, home shopping, and the like.\u00a0 Then there was 500 channels.\u00a0 Then there was youtube and streaming services and downloads and whatever else is a means of consumption.\u00a0 Bruce Springsteen was right when he sang into the void that there were 57 channels and nothin’s on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All that is prelude to say, this may be nothing… but it was something I did way back when.<\/p>\n
