I’ve been pod-casted!

My grandma, Afton James Rex, directing a podcast in the olden days, about 1967, on the set in Silver City, NM.

Well, here goes nothing.  I mean, I don’t know what I’m doing on this blog yet, technology-wise.  My son Nik helped me a lot, but I had to pay him to do so.  Technology is expensive.  So, I’m trying to link my many readers to a podcast that my husband David and I did recently.  When I say “did”, I mean we were interviewed for it, and audio-recorded, so that’s the new word, podcast.  In the olden days, only a few people got to be interviewed and audio-recorded and then broadcast widely.  I once interviewed and audio-recorded my Grandma Rex.  It wasn’t broadcast widely, as my brother Judson unrolled the cassette tape and, well, it was thenceforth only a written interview, because, thankfully, Mrs. Busk, the english teach who gave us the assignment to interview someone, made us transcribe the recording, and I did so very soon after the interview.  So, I have the written version, which I’m going to broadcast right here, right now.  Meanwhile, if you know how to listen to a podcast, here is the link (I hope this blog allows linking, like linking, blinking, and nod, that was a nursery rhyme).

Well, it looks like the linking worked.  If you have Apple Itunes, it’s also available there, just search for “Gay Fathers Podcast”

And, for the finale:  Here’s My grandma, Afton James Rex, being “podcasted” the old fashioned way.  Well, darnitall, I can’t find the written PDF copy I know I have on one of the NINE, that’s right 9, thumb drives that have my entire life recorded on them.  I’ll get back to you on this issue, meanwhile, enjoy the modern podcast of me and David.  And, the picture of Grandma Rex directing, until I find the written transcript of my interview of her.
