Can’t Win Them All
Since I started American Cliche, I have never made any excuses for it. It is what it is. If you like it, great. If it’s not your cup o’ tea, then move on. Either way, I have always been proud of the work that I do. This week I do feel compelled to say something about episode #37. As I was prepping it, I had a feeling that it was going to be a trainwreck. I thought “I’m gonna forget to hit record, or the system is going to crash, or I’m going to mis-cue an audio bit”....something. Well, the technical side came through fine. However, after listening to the show after it was posted, I can’t help but feel that I was off this week. Some would argue that I’m “off” EVERY week, but that’s another story altogether. Anyway, I can’t put my finger on what was going on, I can just hope that next week I’m on surer footing.
I started doing this show in July and with the exception of one week in October where I was too sick to talk, I have not missed a week. Sometimes I have bad days. Sometimes I’m not as succint or as eloquent as I’d like to be. Sometimes the material for a particular show isn’t as strong or as engaging as I’d like it to be. Then there are the weird weeks where I think a show is going to be mediocre and it ends up being one of my better shows. This week the stars just didn’t align.
Maybe this posting is unecessary. I just feel that you guys deserve my very best effort and the very best results. I gave my best effort this week, but the results were lacking. I will try and do better next week.

Hey Scott your shows are always top notch compared to 99% of podcasts around you have nothing to apologise about.

Brian,
Thanks for the comments. I’m really OK, I just thought that my last show wasn’t my best and wanted to acknowledge that. One thing you guys (and gals) can alway expect from me is honesty.
I’m feeling good this week, so expect a better show
