What are we going to do today, Brain?

The same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to take over the world!

Yeah, okay, this blog is read by people in at least 17 different countries (though really 5 or 6 are the primaries). So I’ve at least been read internationally. But is that enough? Does that make me known? Does it give me the power I need?

I say no.

But now, in glorious monophonic sound, you can hear my voice, on demand, in your very own ears. Why would I provide such a service to you? It’s simple. I need more people stopping me on the street and saying “how can I serve you?” on my next trip to England or The Netherlands (yes, “first” also qualifies as “next”).

So I decided the best way to do that is to contribute to a podcast. No, I’m not hosting my own podcast. That would require effort. A far better method is to contribute to someone else’s podcast. And remember, it’s got to be internationally hosted so I seem to be a man-of-the-world.

Enter Quit Your Day Job. Hosted in Australia, it’s almost as far from me as physically possible. Pop-culture and sci-fi are the orders of the day (usually) over there, and Lee has started doing weekly podcasts now. He takes contributions. I saw my shot. I started slowly, writing in my contributions. Now he and his listeners are used to that so I’ve moved to the next stage of my plan: submitting audio contributions.

Once people start craving my voice on that podcast, my segments will get longer and longer until finally I take over the entire podcast. Then I will repeat that process with other podcasts until eventually I am the most well known person on the planet. Everyone will listen to me and do what I say and I will be the ruler of the world!!!

So let’s get the movement started. Head over to QYDJ and listen to his latest podcast on the Robocop films. You’ll hear the longest bashing of Robocop 3 on record, and the first ever comparison of the Robocop franchise to Wagnerian opera. But more importantly, you’ll hear me.

Viva la revolution!
