It’s about time that I let you know what I have planned for podcasting coming soon from me.  It’s been a while since I’ve done the podcasting thing and I’m more than ready to get back into it full force.  Hope that you can join me on Thursday January 20th at 9pm Eastern at http://www.coreycharette.com/live and hear about it. I will take any questions or comments (via Skype or the chat room) at that time if you have any. If you can’t make it there and still have questions just leave a comment here and I will answer it personally and talk about it Thursday night with anyone else who might have the same question.

Hope to see you there,
Corey

Every year most of us sit down and write (or mentally take note) on what our resolutions are for the forthcoming year, and most of us will break them within the first few days (or weeks) of the year starting.

I’m just as guilty of doing this as anyone else.  So, this year I’m going to take on my resolutions with a different look.

What I mean by that is that I’m not going to make major life-altering resolutions that are over-the-top and hard to keep in line.  My resolutions are going to be small steps for my personal being so that when 2011 ends I will be changed for the better.

Here is the short list of my resolutions:

1. Get back into podcasting

If any of you know me well enough with my online presence I am the creator and co-host of the Average Joe Show and for a couple of years, on and off, we did 80 episodes.  Then in May 2010, I decided to take a break from the show.  Weeks became months.  I disappeared from the web, for the most part.  Did very little posting on Facebook and Twitter.  My plan was to pop back online in January, but something happened that made me want to get back online earlier than that.  (If you want to know what it is, let me know and I will put a post up about it.)  For the last seven months I have been sitting here taking notes about what I want to do in terms of podcasting.

I’ve only showed my notes to one person, my girlfriend, Erika.  She was hooked.  She isn’t deep into listening/watching podcasts, but is so behind me into doing this project that I won’t back down.

I can promise you one thing: I will be back into podcasting in early 2011.  Average Joe Show will be back!

2. Be Healthier

Most people say, “I want to lose weight.”, and they starve themselves to death and by the third of January call it quits.  That’s not what I’m saying.  What I want to do is to take baby steps to being healthier.  This means that I will cut back on eating junk food, drinking soda, eating more balanced meals, etc.  Not going to do major changes to my diet overnight, just want to make gradual changes so my body doesn’t go into “shock” from it.  Hopefully, I will keep you posted on these changes here.

3. Be a Better Me

I know this sounds like one of those self-help gurus saying it, but I want to make myself a better person on the inside.

I’m not one of those “half glass full” type of people, but more like “how come I don’t have a glass” type of people.  Everything I look at is always in a negative light.  I need to stop doing that and looking at the positive side of things.  I need to be happier about everything and more confident in the decisions I make.

So, there are my resolutions for you to ponder on.  They might not be the most shocking or ground-breaking ones, but these are the ones that I’m going to try my damndest to follow.  So, what are your resolutions for the New Year?

And on that note, I want to wish everyone out there a wonderful New Year and wish the best for you and your families.

Well, between time off from the show and ‘comings-and-goings’ on the show things have been put on hold.

We hope to make 2010 a year of changes for the podcast.

The first change that you will notice on the show is comments and emails being read on the show.  We want to have more audience participation on the show and this is the first step into doing that.

The next thing we want to bring to the show is link suggestions.  If you listened to episode 60 of the show you will have noticed that it’s the first time that we had stories given to us to mention on the show.  There are a lot of great stories out there that we don’t get a chance to get to and with your help we can bring some of them to the show.  (If you have any stories that you want us to consider for the show send them in an email to talk@averagejoeshow.com.)

The last thing that we want to have happen to the show is to have it stream live on the web.  Hopefully, you will have caught our live show (December 23 @ 9pm Eastern).  Unfortunately, with the resources we have it might be a long time before we can do this again.  This show is done on a shoe string budget and if you would like us to be able to stream weekly please help out by donating to the show.    By streaming the show we can real time interaction from out fans.  We hope that we can have this implemented on a regular basis by the end of the year.

We want 2010 to be a new year for the podcast.  With your help we know that we can get it to where everyone wants it to be.

This week Ward and I talk about the Obama reoath, Vatican on YouTube, urine filled batteries, sea kittens and so much more.  So drop by the site and check out this episode and catch up on any of the previous shows you haven’t heard.

Every episode of our podcast is full of 28 essential vitamins and minerals including Uranium 238!

So, it made me wonder – is there anyone else out there that still use the Hitler name? So, I went to SuperPages and discovered that there are 7 people in the United States that have Hitler as their last name!  Fortunately, none of them have Adolf as their first name.

Now, my question to you, is why would someone still have Hitler as their last name?  Granted he’s been dead for more than 60 years, but his legacy still lives on.  People aren’t going to forget who Hitler is for a long while.

Even, if their last name has been that for centuries, you would still think that they would change it anyways.  It doesn’t cost that much to change your name, so I don’t know why anyone would keep it.  Hopefully, these 7 people are very old and don’t want to hassle with changing their name and if they have any children they had already changed it.

Just a little ‘food for thought’ for you today.

This week’s show had a lot of similar stories, from guilty celebrities to boobs!  So go to www.averagejoeshow.com and take a listen.  We got a little crazy on this one this week.

I apologize for the ‘weirdness’ of my side of the audio.  Sounded like I left the room about half way through the show.

Take a listen and leave a comment.  We want to make this a better show and your help will make it that way!
