Today's topic is Declined versus Reject. Doing these podcasts over an extended period of time has led me to reflect on how I deal with my own sense of progression. Day to day when things are really good. I find coming and doing these podcasts are fine. I can pick a word that I want to reflect on, and I can wax lyrical about that word. When I get busy. I tend to find that my mind is distracted. And as I only do one of these pieces of constant media, there's a there's a component of it that makes me think that I should be telling people what's going on and sharing what it is that I'm doing, because those things that I'm doing, if people know about them, they can either attend or if they know what I do, or get a sense of what I do that maybe they'll want me to come and do that for them. And that's even better. COVID was quite liberating for me because I was able to be the best that I could be because the skills that I had in a world which meant that I didn't have to go out and put the attention into the physical and the effort of putting myself into a place where I can be sociable, happy, not too loud and annoying. And this is where the gregarious introvert phrase which thank you so much Hallidonto for giving me that phrase ... And that brings me to where I am now. This is episode 32 - Decline vs Reject.

I spend the whole of the swim, contemplating, what this episode would be, and there's a lot of talk at the moment about ChatGTP and artificial intelligence. And I really wanted to talk about that, however, terribly sorry if you were thinking, Oh, the title hasn't given that bit away. That will be next week or I might make another one but on my way out of the pool, I received a phone call from the East Midlands regional organiser in base of equity.

The new Equity branch in the East Midlands is an important development for the union and its members in the region. It will provide local representation and support for members, who will have access to branch officers and regional representatives who can assist them with issues such as contracts, health and safety, and employment rights.

This is episode 20 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. Greetings, Social Media and Metaverse Wombles. Today I hadn't decided as I started recording whether this episode would be Change or Death. Contemplating the two throughout the 29 mins and my situation right now Death or Change as the title won out. Do you all hear the same 'All Change' bell?

Welcome Social Media and Metaverse Wombles. This is episode 19. Growing up I was told, as we all are, to live your dreams. What do you want to do? What do you want to be and coming from a working class background from a market town? Were actually on the edge of the council estate so you were, I was always made aware that I, was lucky not to live on the council estate. My parents had moved out of there and into their own home. But I was also aware that I needed to better myself. So in some ways and this is something that going through this in my head as made me realised and I would be interested to have this conversation and perhaps with equities class network because there is a class network with equity and I will put the link to that in this podcast.

Welcome to episode 17... Again, the topic the title today is All or Nothing... the focus is 'compromise' and the interesting balance between the two. All or Nothing? It's sometimes necessary to have everything right. And if you don't have everything right, then the entire thing falls or the entire thing fails. Sometimes that ALL that extra bit is the thing that makes the rest of it possible or probable or its purpose for existing. This podcast series is a reflection of my personal philosophies and by sharing this internal dialogue it opens conversations with you, my audience should we cross paths. In one of the earlier episodes, I did talk about the polarity of digital and in this modern age of digital, we have zeros and ones on and off left and right, positive and negative out or in a poor down yes or no. And if you're going to make those polarised decisions there has to be... Compromise. This is episode 17 - All or Nothing | Compromise.

Welcome to Episode 16 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. Following on from last week, which was 'All or Nothing, connectivity' this week is 'All or Nothing, Audio'. No matter how good your visuals are, if you are doing an event that has poor audio, it can spoil the entire thing. Now, when you're in a physical space, that's amplification, you might have a balance of your microphone on stage that's just lifting the audio of the room and public address PA systems. Going into COVID and pre COVID When I was doing live streams, the audio that you would pick up to amplify into the room actually doesn't get amplified into the room. We managed to get audio from the audience, amplified a little bit in the room through the speakers. And we also got the audio from the room into a zoom call, which was then running on another machine which was connecting into alt space, the VR platform, which was then taking audio into there. We didn't actually have audio from alt space. So that's going to be the next challenge. Can we complete the loop? This is episode 16 - All or Nothing | Audio.

Welcome to Episode 15 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. And it's getting decidedly autumnal when I started this series 15 episodes ago, the fact that the seasonal changes would bring a season to a close or a series to a close hadn't dawned on me. Episode 15 All or Nothing there's gonna be a few of these all on the things. This all or nothing is internet connectivity. This week I have started to shift into doing some live streaming from the venue. ... there's a definition of vocabulary going on around the experience industry, the event industry, theatrical experiences, immersive experiences, and there's this word that comes up quite a lot and that's 'in-person'. And then we come on to the next vocabulary word that I think we need to talk about and that's hybrid. I hope you enjoy this weeks episode. This is episode 15 - All or Nothing | Connectivity.

Come on BeReal. Come on, be real! Welcome to Episode 14 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. Now that I'm talking to the correct end of my phone! the one with the mic spoffle, wind shield on it. I shall begin. BeReal was an app that I found at the end of last year. And it did feature in my 12 apps of Christmas for 2021. I'm really pleased that the notion of being real authentically knowing who you are, protecting your mental health, looking after your social and mental and physical well being are conversations that are being had and do get had. That's gonna look interesting on the transcript! This week I talk about the reality of event fatigue and zoom fatigue its very intimate sibling.

Welcome to Episode 13 of the West Park park bench podcast. Last week's episode was titled Everything's Changed or everything changes within a week the psyche of the British public has shifted in a way that is curious, fascinating. And in equal parts unknown and scary. Queen Elizabeth the Second the Queen of England passed away last Friday. And that short nursery rhyme at the opening of this podcast was the line that immediately came to my mind going to visit the Queen and I wasn't sure whether it was a nursery rhyme or a children's story. Pussycat Pussycat, Where have you been? I've been to London to visit the Queen. Pussycat Pussycat, What did you there? I frightened a little mouse under the chair.

Everything's change. Railway set sessions change timetables change at this time of year. The bus times change the clocks go back. We've got a new prime minister we were in when a moment when nothing, nothing is stable. And those routines that people have in their life are part of the routine that keeps them stable. And today my dismay and my disappointment and my fears for the world. I feel like I'm living in a melodrama script. Welcome to Episode 12 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. I'm contemplating change. One function of these podcasts is to be my audio blog. As a dyslexic, I find it very hard to turn the thoughts in my head into words that go onto paper. The more frustrated or the more impassioned that I get about what I want to say the harder it is for me to actually put it down on a piece of paper in a timely fashion. So if you've listened to my other episodes, I'm wanting to get that rhythm of making media and creating something that has a workflow. The result being that I can share my thoughts with other people and that if people want to make podcasts I'm in a flow so that I can bring people into my flow and help them voice their concerns or promote their work or share their thoughts. And then there comes the point where things are happening in my world, that I really want to shout about. But I don't want to be a ranter. And I don't want to put myself in a position where I will get trolled. There are things that put me into despair. This is episode 12 - Everything's Changed.

Beyond the Fringe So the Edinburgh Fringe is over for another year. We've got another... 11 months. I had think about it then! until the Edinburgh Fringe comes back round again. And things do come round cyclically in any industry in any business and the Edinburgh Fringe is no different. There are lots of marker points that you can pick to give you targets in your year that aren't necessarily your deliverables. You can choose to put a deliverable in it but I really like having those markers in. Edinburgh this year has been one of those for me.

Greetings, social media and metaverse, Wombles - It's Park Bench Tuesdays. People have been saying to me, so who's your audience? So if you're listening to this, (reading this!) you my friend, are my audience. I explain to people that you've got to make media and have a regular output to be able to target an audience. And to say that your audience is just anybody isn't helpful. You've got to make some media and if there's an ambient audience there, then cool but if you're doing stuff, which means that you're not tagging and you're not using keywords, which I rarely do, because the stuff that I'm doing is not necessarily specific to a topic, it's about me is about practice rather than presence. That is why I'm doing these in a regular slot. I would really like to have guests. So, West Park Park Bench Podcast recorded in West Park on Tuesdays at around about 11.50am. Want to join me?

So here we are. Episode 6. It's June the 21st which is the longest day of the year. It is audience hybrid versus extended. Before COVID reared its ugly head and made physical event people pivot to digital in what a lot saw as a very scary unknown front. There were some people who had been doing hybrid extended mashup events for some time whether it was the speakers not being able to travel to the venue and being put on Skype calls on the big screen, or whether it was having an extended capacity to your audience to accommodate those who couldn't be there in person. So what's the difference between hybrid and extended? And this is something that I need to write about, but in my dyslexic capacity, I don't really have the words to go on paper at the moment for what that article will be. So this is that podcast...

Welcome to episode five of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. I do apologise for the roughly roughly at the beginning of this, but for those that don't know this is an extension of my podcast, Audio Blog, concept of Note to self note standing for No Opportunity To Edit. That is me putting the 'spoffle' which is a black foam sock on the bottom of my mobile phone so that you don't get the wind noises throughout the podcasts. Hustings are about audience. Hustings are an opportunity for a group of like minded audience members to come together. And for people who are seeking election to visit them and for the people in the audience to ask questions specifically of those candidates that directly affect them.

Today's episode is fit for purpose. I do like phrases which have multiple interpretations something I can think about something that I can live with it's not too taxing on my brain is not too clever. It's not too esoteric. It's just something to keep nudging my brain when I'm putting the kettle on or when I'm making dinner, or when I'm brushing my teeth.

Greetings, Social Media and Metaverse Wombles. This is episode two of West Park Park bench Podcast. I'm Caron and I am intending to try and make a series that's longer than six. And that actually gets published. Hopefully you listened to episode one because at least that one is done.

I'm no influencer. I'm really I'm quite extraordinarily ordinary which probably is going to be the thread of this podcast. This is episode 2 - ORDINARY I record these using Otter which has the added benefit of generating a transcript. Its far from perfect but if you'd like the rough text here is the link.…

Bit of a ramble from Caron as she starts to document the Cromford Mills digital visitors experience packages PCM is delivering. TechBox, AR/QR/Wi-Fi and PiScreens.
Mental Health is as much about maintenance as management. Every storm, a calm. I’m whole and well right now. I did not want to be in perpetual preparation for the next crisis.
Many a time I talk to friends, collaborators and colleagues about doing podcasts. Here is the first in a series with Alison Rouse who is The House of Rouse with episode 1.
