I’m moving this domain to a different registrar, so things may or may not appear wonky over the next few days.  This website may or may not be available.  But it will be back.

P.S. I still haven’t forgotten that I owe you a 5th anniversary show. Been thinking about the music and what else I want to include in it.

Hit me up in the usual social channels if you’d like.

Podcasting for Five Years

72 - 5 Year Birthday...

Five years ago today in the wee hours of the morning, August 22, 2005, I released the very first episode of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast. I still vividly recall the hours that led up to it: downloading and learning Audacity, recording it and editing it and posting it online.

So much has changed in five years: the website, the webhost, the frequency, the music, the tools.

I don’t even really know how to mark such an occasion with this podcast, which only recently was revived.  Ido plan on recording an episode to commemorate this event. I’ve received a few comments from others. You’re more than welcome to submit something if you’d like. E-mail an mp3 file to daniel [at] journeyinsidemymind [dot] com.

Getting back the urge…

Posted in announcements on July 19th, 2010 by Daniel Johnson, Jr. – 4 Comments

I’ve hated how the last episode of the podcast ended. I’ve found myself listening to it a couple of times since it was released late last December.

I’ve got some content that has never been released or produced, and, moreover, I’m getting the urge to just turn on the recorder and talk again. I don’t know if there is an audience – you, gentle reader – still, but I’m getting back the urge to start throwing my thoughts out here again.

I don’t have a timetable or schedule or anything like that, but I expect that, in time for my 5th podcasting anniversary at the end of August, I’ll have put something out. Five years of podcasting! Can you believe it?

As we make the journey of our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves needing to put aside certain things in order to make other things better. In situations like these, it is okay to give up doing that one thing.

I started the Journey Inside My Mind blog in January 2002. I started the podcast in August 2005. This project, like so many others, has been highly experimental and without much more of a purpose except to provide a vehicle for me to be introspective and explore things creatively. I always wanted to be a DJ ever since my Dad showed me how to splice tape together and make mixtapes myself.

When I started the podcast in August 2005, I did it to get some things out as well as to promote some independent music I found myself enjoying. For awhile the show came out weekly. After some time the show came out less frequently as other things began. In 2009 only 9 official episodes – including this one – have come out. I expect the same to be the case in the future. While I have posted several “Another Rest Stop in the Journey” audio posts – which has made it easy to keep in touch, I find myself at a crossroads.

In the past year, you have shared with me as I’ve mentioned New Media Cincinnati and How I Got My Job.  Both of these projects, as well as my ongoing search for employment, are making it difficult to make this show the best it can be. I think it’s time for me to focus my energy and efforts where I think I can make it count.

Through this blog and podcast, I’ve been able to make some great connections with others, and these have carried over into other areas, both online and offline. I’d like to say thanks to the Association of Music Podcasting (AMP) for their support and encouragement. I’d also like to say thanks to the 5 of you who have remained subscribed to the feed, either by email or podcast subscription (*wink, wink*). I’m not going to start naming off names, because I know I will undoubtedly forget someone.

So, let’s consider episode 122 (mp3, 29:43, 27.3 MB) the last official podcast episode over here until further notice. And remember, we’re not saying goodbye here. The journey itself will continue; just not so much on this blog and podcast. So let’s just say, “Good journey.”

Free publicity! Call this number!

Posted in announcements on March 11th, 2009 by Daniel Johnson, Jr. – Be the first to comment

I’m about to record episode 115 of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast, but I’d love to open it up for you to plug your own website. In addition, it gives me a little more content. This next episode will be a Super Mix, meaning that there won’t be much of me talking in between tracks, more like a mixtape.

Daniel Johnson, Jr. from CincinnatiI’m always on the lookout for “shout-outs“, so here’s the opportunity for you to get some free publicity for yourself and your website:

  1. Call +1 -206-339-8030
  2. When prompted, leave a message in the following format:
    “Hi, this is [YOUR NAME HERE] from [YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS], and you’re listening to the Journey Inside My Mind podcast with Cincinnati’s Own, Daniel Johnson, Jr.”

That’s it!  I’ll get an email with the voicemail message in it, and then I’ll play it on the show.  In return, I’ll also provide a link in the shownotes for the next episode, which I will be recording to release this weekend.

Sound like fun? Now, go make that call!

New Voicemail and Fax Number!

Posted in administrivia, announcements on December 8th, 2008 by Daniel Johnson, Jr. – Be the first to comment

Ah, remember those good ol’ K7 days? No? Remember that 206-666-JIMM phone number I used to have, and how you used to call occasionally and leave messages I’d play on the podcast?  Well, something happened to that number, and I haven’t had a voicemail line for some time.

Until today.

Prompted by the Official Commentator of the Journey Inside My Mind, Ed Ovett from Ed’s Mixed Bag, I got a new voicemail/fax line. I’m branding the phone line as the “voicemail line for Daniel Johnson, Jr. and Jazzmania Productions”, so that I can use it for my other new media projects as well.

So, without further ado, the voicemail/fax number for Daniel Johnson, Jr. and Jazzmania Productions is

+1-206-339-8030

Enter that number in your phone and call it regularly. Especially if you have a comment for the Journey Inside My Mind.

Update: This number has also faded. Please use the Contact page to get in touch.

JIMM 16 on the Soundseeing Podcast!

Posted in announcements on January 6th, 2006 by Daniel Johnson, Jr. – 2 Comments

Hey everybody! I recently submitted episode 16 of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast to Dave, who puts out the Soundseeing Podcasts site. He also is one of the main characters of the Audio Collective podcast, which I’ve been subscribed to for some time.

Dave has posted that episode at the Soundseeing Podcasts site, and you can find the link here:

Soundseeing Podcasts >> JIMM 16 – The Cheryl Dawson Memorial Walk-a-thon

As Dave puts it:

This Soundseeing tour depicts The Cheryl Dawson Memorial Walk-a-thon. It is not done as a normal soundseeing tour where the surroundings are described. This one is portrayed through the voices of those that attended. It is an interesting way to do a soundseeing tour and also is a very moving podcast.
-Dave

I’m very happy that many more people are having an opportunity to hear this podcast, to say the least.
