In mid-June, Val and I will celebrate the 4th anniversary of our eco-funny podcast, “More Hip Than Hippie“. It started as most great things do, over a few beers on a warm spring evening. Val’s hubby Rob came up with this avant-garde idea: combine Val’s eco-expertise with my mad broadcasting skillz to create an informative, entertaining show while spreading the good word about green living. Val came up with our handle; I scrawled the lyrics to our infamous theme song, which my friend Tim reluctantly performed. The result was, as we like to call it, “podcast gold”!
Last week I listened to good ol’ Episode 1 for the first time since we released it in 2005. I have to admit, I expected the worst…nervous patter, uncomfortable silences, amateurish editing…but you know what? We weren’t half bad! After I introduced us as “a couple of middle-aged moms” (to Val’s chagrin), we were bold enough to conduct a 2-on-2 interview. All this, without the benefit of beer and chocolate! How did that get started, anyway? Guess I’d better listen to more old shows.
You’re invited to tune in to our 4th anniversary celebration show on June 17th. Ale will be drunk, dark chocolate devoured, high fives slapped. I will prepare one of my dreaded quizzes while Val puts together a generous package of Greenfeet prizes. We might even make cheese. Hey, not bad for a couple of middle aged moms! (Sorry Val.)
