Step one: push play on the video below
Step two: read blog post while song is playing
I loved podcasting. It was like monologuing without having to perform live or in person…it allowed me to write a script and yet speak as if I were in a conversation. But the best part about podcasting was that I was able to put music to a story.
For me, music always enhances life. Whether it is melancholy or cheerful, it has the ability to make life feel like a movie. And the thing with movies is, they aren’t real.When I walk down the street with my headphones in and “Daylight” by Matt and Kim (the song you are currently listening to) is playing, the world just seems to work. Everything works in harmony with the music.
Step three: press pause on the video.
Listen to your surroundings void of the music. 
It’s as if reality suddenly hits you, and nothing is as worked out as it may seem. In a song, in a story, and in a podcast, everything is written. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end. But when the music stops, and you realize life’s not a movie, it’s not already worked out, and it’s not written, it’s scary.
So I love podcasting. Because podcasting is a fake reality. You pretend you are having a conversation, and yet there is music, and there is a storyline, a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Step four: push play.
