I am working to get the hardware up and running for the actual podcast. I can record audio into audition from a rodes podcaster Pro. But the multitrack function is giving me fits. Eventually, I will ask for help. The drunk in me resists asking for help. Wonder where that comes from? I am forty-seven years sober and straight. But in some ways, I am the same. Something about getting the channels into Audition is giving me fits. I will simplify and see if I can get an episode out on just one channel.
So you know where I might be going let me share my thoughts. Any suggestions leave comments and leave contact info on the website at lazarusrecovery.org. I am hoping the first episode will be in mid-January. Please be patient it will be epic.
I will try as I get better to bring guests in to talk about their stories. But I want to start on familiar ground for me. I have taught and run recovery meetings with a spiritual bent off and on for years. So I think I will try to make the episodes like a meeting. But I want to make this accessible to both recovery and faith-based folks. An impossible task maybe.
You need to help me! As I roll out episodes you need to feedback to me. Understand I am an opinionated person. You need to call me on my stuff. But I do punch back. I want conversation from all sides. I will bait you! I will infuriate you. Don’t take it personally. This is serious business. That is why I am not surprised by the difficulty.
Now I will close with a few words.
For the faith folks! You know the stakes of conversations about Faith in recovery circles. But I will call you to task about the stakes in your church for people who labor in silence with issues you know are not addressed well in a traditional church environment. I need you engaged. And I need you open-minded. Don’t run away because I get on your case. Recovery people need to know they are heard. And they need to know you listen to them. They are no fools.
For the Recovery Folks, I say hang in there with me. I will make your voice heard. But you will have to tolerate the Jesus stuff. I will not humor you. You are me. I will tell you stuff you know and think is a secret. I know you. Scary isn’t it.
Both of you all need each other. You need each other more than you know. With God’s Grace, I will put out Episode one in mid-January. Forgive the quality It will get better.
I have not settled on a title for the podcast. Suggestions? Faith and Recovery Junction?
