Several things I like about Amreitha.

Amreitha has a great speaking voice.

Amreitha likes clipart and the show “Friends”

Amreitha is a talker and I like it.

Amreitha grew up eating midwestern Kansas food. When we got married, she learned how to make my dad’s famous chicken curry.

Amreitha is a classically trained vocalist.

Every March I do a 30 day challenge. This year, right before our 10 year anniversary, I’m going to write 30 things I like about my wife Amreitha.

Using a bunch of royalty free stock footage and music + a fiverr voice over artist, I created an intro for my podcast. The emphasis is definitely on audio, but I wanted to create a retro future vibe for the youtube vodcast intro as well.

“Deep Learning” is what I decided to call the podcast!

I downloaded a hacked patch to give my D7000 a clean HDMI output. Then, I linked an ipad to computer to make a zoom call.

I setup my Shure MV7 and my Nikon D7000 to my computer for a zoom call!

I got my microphone! Here’s my first recording test!

Since I’m doing interviews for the podcast and we’re living in a pandemic, I’m going to record zoom conversations with people. This also helps me interact with people all over the world.

Microphone, interphase, stands, and software.

I need to make decision on what to purchase for this.

Where am I going to host this podcast?

Anchor? Squarespace? Buzzsprout? Captivate? Podbean? Soundcloud? Simplecast?

I need ideas! What could my gimmick be?

So that my podcast remains interesting to me and is separated from the pack, I want to incorporate some sort of a “gimmick” into it (maybe).

After hearing from you all, I’m going to stick with recording once a month. It just works better with my schedule, but I’m going to shoot for hour long interviews. With all the effort it takes to book a guest, I don’t want to be cut off at 30 minutes.

I have a lot of titles for my podcast. I’ve bounced many ideas off of my friends in private—literally hundreds!

Thank you friends for the patience and kindness to act interested in all of them!

How long will each episode last and when will I upload new episodes?

I’d really like your feedback on this!

As of now, I’m deciding between two formats for the podcast:

1. One on One Interview with occasional solo episodes

2. A Group of People interviewing people with occasional solo episodes

This is the working description for the podcast:

My name is Pradeepan Jeeva and I’m a brown pastor in Seattle learning to navigate the tension between future technology and timeless theology. Help me learn by feeding me questions to interview experts with.

This year, I’m starting a podcast! I like talking about technology, futurology, crytptocurrency, leadership and theology. I want to create a podcast as an excuse to talk to experts in these fields.

The fruit of my 2020 Blogrimage—a rap song dealing with the pain of navigating Autism.

Well, the 2020 Blogrimage is over! Coronavirus took over my mental bandwidth these last two weeks. I’m a pastor and I’ve had to work with my team to essentially relaunch Kalos Church as an Online Church. So, I have done minimal work on my rap song.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Between my daughter turning one, and changing our entire church service to be online (I’m a pastor) due to Coronavirus, I haven’t had a lot of time to blog

Andrew Jennings helped me record the vocals for my song! He setup a home studio with amazing equipment and even provided his Blogrimage drawing for inspiration.

My hope for this song is that it helps parents who are dealing with frustrations of Autism.

I was taught that the key to good writing is re-writing. I was also taught to “write drunk and edit sober.”

The lyrics for my song came really fast. I wrote 95% of them in one night.
