Here is some insight into how I create each podcast episode for I Might Die Tomorrow, But That's Okay!---

1. Come up with an idea for the episode. It takes me a couple of days to come up with an interesting enough topic that I want to cover. I do have a list of podcast episode ideas that I have spent the past few weeks carefully developing, but for some reason, the idea of using any of those seems way more daunting then using something that I had spontaneously invented.

2. Spend three to four days working on a script. I start out by writing bullet points, and then I expand on them to make coherent paragraphs, and then an entire script.

3. TRASH the script because suddenly the topic is so boring to me, and if I don't move on, I am sure that I will die of boredom. I don't know why this happens, but it does, and when it inevitably does, I end up right back at square one.

4. Spend another three to four days doing absolutely nothing to contribute to my podcast. During this time, I'm usually watching TV. I love watching TV. It's so much better than podcasting.

5. Come up with another new idea, except this one is infinitely better. (Usually this new idea is just a mild revision of the old new idea.)

6. I am obligated to publish an episode every other week (it's not official, but that's my goal). During this point in my podcasting process, I have five days left until I'm obligated to publish an episode. So three of those days are dedicated to writing the script, one of those days is dedicated to polishing it, one of those days is spent recording, and one of those days is spent editing. You may notice that the math does not add up! I usually end up having to push the publication date of my podcast episode by a day or two. Again, the biweekly publishing schedule is not official.

7. The episode is published! Hooray!

8. Repeat all of these steps again for as long as necessary, preferably until I am dead.

In case you couldn't tell, podcasting is a very fun and rewarding experience.
