Now You Made It Awkward Podcast

Shoky here:

I didn't post much while out at Frankenboltzzzz Brewing Co. Saturday for their Franktoberfest. But I had a good time! Just hung out, ate great food, drank 1 too many beers.... Talked with new people and regulars alike.

And its funny that my presence has become so connected to this Podcast that more people than expected asked if I was going to be doing this show out there that day. Like if it's an event at Boltzzzz, NYMIA will be there.

That being said, I purposely didn't. It did cross my mind. However Franktoberfest is generally an extremely busy event, and frankly I didn't want to work. I wanted to hang out.

The podcast is fun. But make no mistake, especially for on location recordings, it is a TON of work. And the last 9 months have been most amount of work I've ever put into a project. And the most amount of money I've sunk into something that didn't have a heartbeat or tires.

And if I'm honest, its been super difficult keeping the show going the last 3 months. It was a very stressful, and brain breaking summer.

But I soldiered on.

And I want to thank the loyal fans and friends, new and old, who have been along for the ride. Having people outside of immediate friend group ask about the show, and even have expectations of it gave me a little boost in confidence that it all hasn't been for nothing.

Happy birthday to one of our founding members and my best pal Shaun Love

Well, so long Teespring. Years of lost merch and other headaches gone.

Though now I need a new online merch store. I'm not going to trust whatever the crap that replaced Spring is. Too bad I can't get in on Bunker, they do great work.

We are way too small as a channel.

And you can see our conversation with Honey Bear Roaster this Friday! Chdck out the website to order his coffee directly!

From the first sip to the conversations that last for hours, coffee has always been about more than what’s in the cup. It’s the laughter shared around the table, the memories made, and the people who make every moment a little sweeter.
