Chet Wild here... welcome to the future home of my new podcast, "The Chet Wild Show" - yeah!  Since entering the 'real world' after college graduation 2 years ago, I've been searching for creative outlets to release the shitstorm of ideas that are always floundering in my head.  I've spent much of my time the past 2 years as a college administrator by day and wanna-be rockstar by night.  Unfortunately, many of those music projects quickly became defunct - as there tends to be a mean case of douchebaginitis around these parts (nothing like spending 30 minutes of rehearsal time listening to your singer and guitar player fight over which Pearl Jam cover better defines us... asses).  Even better is when you reply to a CraigsList post seeking 'professional-minded musicians' who... wait, I'll save my rant on CraigsList 'musicians' for an actual show...

Anyway, it's not all bad.  Being able to teach a college class in 1980s music and pop culture was a blast!  I've decided I need to stop relying on other guitar players who only screw me over in the long run, so I've started studying guitar with Miche' Fambro (www.miche.com).  Check him out, he's awesome (and will hopefully be a guest on the show once it's up and running). 

After recently starting graduate work in Creative Studies, I've come to realize that I'm not doing enough to express myself creatively (instead, I bottle it all up and bitch about how 'i wish i could...').  Anyway, after a little encouragement from my sweetsauce classmates with CPS group diverging and converging (special thanks to Rob for facilitating and Ryan for generating podcast suggestions), I've decided to go ahead and start my own podcast (which will hopefully be picked up by a few college radio stations as well).  I've spent the past few weeks reading books such as "How to Do Everything with Podcasting," "The Complete Guide to Audio and Video Podcasting," and "The Radio Producers Handbook."  This should give me enough information to not totally suck ass. 

Right now I'm working with a few friends on writing material for the show such as parodies, comedy bits, and some weekly features.  I'm also starting to line up interviews with musicians and celebrities from the Buffalo and Rochester area to conduct interviews with for the show.  If you have any suggestions, please send them my way!

Long-story-short, you can expect a weekly half-hour podcast of "The Chet Wild Show" starting sometime in September (if not sooner)....

In the meanwhile, I'll be working on writing and recording for the show as well as building this site. 

Much love all,

Chet
