Day 274: Podcasts and YouTube?

I think this is my preferred style if you check out the first minute and a half or so. It's a football pod, but that's irrelevant. You have the host for like 25 seconds, a toss-over to the guest/co-host for another 25 seconds, a fifteen second intro song, and you're off.

These guys aren't even my favorites, but I really like their intro song with some naked drums before a few bars of vamp-y music comes in. The whole song doesn't need to be longer than 12 seconds or so:

Not a bad setup. Gives people the rundown and they can decide if they want to stay or not. Fair chance of them noping out if it's not interesting to them, but high probability of them sticking around if even one thing mentioned was of interest.

Obviously the content has to not suck.

There are literal millions of people subscribing to writing based content. At cursory glance, it appears as the writing channels get more action than the sports channels, which makes sense because sports already have a visual broadcasting element inherent to the subject. Guitar pods seem to get more subscribers, but I think there's a broader appeal there. Especially for guys like Rick Beato and a few others that have famous musicians as guests that non-guitar players would still be interested in.

A flat fifth forms a tritone to the root. Like the G flat to the C. A diminished triad has to two minor thirds inside that tritone. Like the C to an E-flat to a G-flat.

You're as bad as he is, albeit more concise. After I joined collegium musicum in college, I learned to read music. However, listening to formally trained musicians toss about technical language affects me the same way as hearing bikers or shooters toss around the appropriate numbers, letters, and technical terms attached to those endeavors. I wish such knowledge would lodge in my brain, but- it doesn't. The Dark Side flows through me unattached to numbers and key signatures. Play me the song, and I'll repeat it. Show me the bike, and I will ride it. Hand me the firearm and I will hit what I aim at.

I write by ear, too. You want to see me clock out of a literary conversation, start talking about auxiliary verbs, nominative cases, and cataphoric phrases.
