Petite Pod #004: Original Poetry

Podcast #003: Memories of Childhood Anger

My apologies. I actually did record this podcast a week ago, but I forgot to post it! Here I mostly ramble about my week and recount times in my childhood when I was really angry. I close off the podcast with a "lullaby" my mother used to sing to my sister and me.

Petite Pod #002: Childhood Songs

Today's podcast feature's songs and patty-cake cames from my childhood.

1. Miss Sue
2. Miss Mary Mack [After I recorded I realized I forgot the middle stanza for this song, which is "She asked her mother for 50 cents to watch the elephant jump over the fence"]
3. Miss Susie
4. Concentrate
5. Boom Boom Ain't It Great to be Crazy
6. Greensleeves - I decided not to edit my recording of this piece and to do each part in one go. This helps recreate the spontaneous sound of my cousins and I singing together.

Petite Pod #001: Childhood Home

Hi, this is Tuesday, your petite virago.

I'm not going to pretend that this podcast will be interesting or entertaining for you. I'm not podcasting for the benefit of my peers. I am not seeking fame. I'm using this podcast as a journal. I've been keeping my paper journal updated since 4th grade. Despite all this, I will never be able to capture all of the memories I have stored up, especially not on paper. Podcasting seems like the natural next step.

Why work so hard to preserve these memories? I dunno. Perhaps an obsession with my own mortality compels me, or perhaps I would like to preserve these memories for the benefit of my unborn grandchildren.

Either way, this journal is going to be personal. You know those nights when you first meet someone you feel an affinity for? You talk about intimate things, share stories from your past.... After sharing, you feel so close to one another, I think because we don’t share these stories with just anyone. In this podcast, I’m not pretending to be anyone but myself. I hope you don't mind.
