This is the first feedback episode. Thanks to @tyronehawk, @getoffmyplanet, @trojanscooter, @up4dsn, @bigrob029, @angrypodcast, @nemesisprime117, @nicju and @mrmoodyshood for the voicemails and emails.
This show began as a feedback show, but also became a bit of an introspective look at myself and at the world as a whole. Please enjoy.

All music done on this show was written and performed by me.
Feedback to your feedback show? Feedback Inception!!!
To start off, TITmouse is funny as hell to say. What threw me off as a kid reading the word in Alice In Wonderland and giggling about it was finding a photo of said tit mouse and realizing that no, the mouse wasn’t as breastfully endowed as the name suggests. Good one, God!
Re: your podcaster’s manifesto, I am living and seeing both sides of the feedback cycle. I am a listener and a fan, not just of your show but maaaaaaany shows now. I can say SingleSimulcast is one of my favorites, but similar to certain friends and family members in real life, communication isn’t always frequent. It is mostly a one-way street when listening to podcasts and radio shows– you hear the host(s) go on and on about topics and sometimes you feel like sending back your thoughts but don’t. I feel a sense of personal reward in providing honest constructive feedback to any show or other product that I enjoy. But that doesn’t mean I appreciate the shows I don’t give feedback to any less.
As a podcaster and show host now (thanks again, Rashanii), I do now live the other side of that life now, putting up shows and product and seeking feedback from listeners. What I try to do, taking a page from you and others in the game, is reward feedback by reading it on the air and corresponding with those who reach out to us. Aside from e-mail, twitter is a great source for that, as is facebook and google plus. I stick with the old adage that beggars can’t be choosers, but I understand how certain avenues are more preferred than others. That’s where the reward comes in, assign priorities to certain types of feedback. In that way, without insulting your audience, you’re encouraging them to leave you feedback in the methods that will get them read first or responded to sooner.
I hope never to be in a situation where I have to sing that “Conjugal Visit” song out loud. Sounds like something James Brown’s wayward nephew would be singing on a collect call to a local hoochie-mama, but I dye gress!
Well, old friend, I’ll keep listening to this show and hopefully we’ll get to hang out again soon, podcast circles or otherwise. Be well, my dude!
Til All Are One!
