Before we started Retro Dreamer, we used to work with Antair, essentially doing the same thing as we do now, but without the Retro Dreamer tag and the business stuff to take care of. We used to get to leave that kind of thing up to Andrey Butov, head doer of stuff at Antair. Even though we parted ways almost 3 years ago now, it was on very good terms, and I kept in touch with Andrey.
At some point, Andrey suggested starting a podcast, and a few weeks ago I said “Cool. Let’s do it.”
And here it is. What Now? Podcast
It’s completely informal, unrehearsed, often unprepared, but we’re taking about the mobile app business in as candid and interesting a way as we can manage, so hopefully some of you guys will enjoy it. So far I’ve managed to avoid getting drunk and weeping into the microphone too, so you can enjoy that tension as we post each episode.
We’re aiming for about an hour long show, basically just a conversation, I’m approaching each chat as a (very small) group therapy session. I like to think we’d have the same calls even if we weren’t recording.
We’re both pretty good at following through with stuff once we decide to do it, so you can be pretty confident that we’ll keep posting these for a while. I’ve got to give massive credit to Andrey here though, he’s responsible for the thing being edited, having a website, intro music, a name etc. Maybe he’ll end up putting it on iTunes too. If that stuff was left up to me I’d be posting a link to a shared dropbox file with 10x as many awkward pauses.
We just posted the third episode, but the first two should still be pretty topical, we were recording the shows once a week to check we had the time and learn the ropes.
So go check it out, let us know what you think! What Now? Podcast
Update: The podcast is now available on iTunes.
