Barncast 71 — Reality Check

2007/06/17 in Farming, Lifestyles, Podcast, Podcasting, Reality Check by andrew | 4 comments

It’s summer so we’ve basically stopped podcasting from the barn for a bit, it just get’s way to hot up in the hayloft (attic) of the barn when it’s >90f/30c outside and the sun is beating down on the roof all day. Instead we’re out back on our patio, with the birds and the wind that picked up due to thunderstorms close by.

We have a less serious show this week. We blaze through the round up in record time, let us know what you think. The main topic is a reality check. Inspired by the end of the downshiftme podcast we cover what our expectations of work and interests were and then look at the reality of it. While we’ve covered a similar topic about 30 shows ago, we look at our situation more and what we are up to.

In the show:

  • Intro and Welcome
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
  • Tom and sheep milk
  • Peg from Vancouver Island
  • Omly from Boston
  • Round Up
  • Reality check, our goals and reality

    • Picture of the week: (this is why we do it)

    Episode 7

    2006/03/26 in Barn, Indiana, Lifestyles, Podcast, Sheep by andrew | 6 comments

    Even though we’re fiddling around in the barn at night, we managed to make a podcast. This week we look at the big change about to hit Indiana! We’re not sure even we can survive it, but we’ll try.

    We then talk about the new lambs, and then talk about the barn, who’s in it, and what we use it for. In the life section we look at going to movies in the country, and the podcast of the week is Decoder Ring Theatre.

    We need a name for our new ewe lamb that we are keeping. We are asking for names of anyone you might know who’s birthday is on March 25th. Please email them or leave a comment!

    Episode #4

    2006/03/05 in Computers, Goats, Lifestyles, Podcast, Podcasting, travel by misty | 6 comments

    Here is episode 4, our first “double ender.” (That sounds so bad!)

    Andrew is in Edmonton, Misty is minding the homefront in Indiana.

    We talk about Gallery, our new webserver, a broken well pump, goat kids, city vs. country, an auto accident.

    It should be transparent to everyone, but the mp3 files are now being hosted on libsyn, but nothing else. I tried using ourmedia but my files vanished. If anyone has any problems please let us know.

    Hope you enjoy it!
