Uma's Podcast!


Well, guess what.

My daughter, who lives in Tucson, AZ, has decided to have a Podcast.  The easiest way to do this is to set it up in our Archie's Archives Blog, and provide links to the mp3 files which contain her blog.

Uma's genius is telling stories.  So she's going to tell her stories over the phone, and the first few podcasts will be joint exercises with me, after which she will probably get into her groove, and run with it.

I have no idea what the topic is going to be, so I'll have to fill that in later!

 

Here's a brief introduction to Uma.

Uma is---theoretically---a graphic designer by trade; that means that she can design a web-page, or a poster, or a book, or a piece of mail advertising, or a custom business card; that sort of thing.  In actual fact, she has been doing all sorts of computer-related things for years and years.

She also used to play tennis pretty well, and all sorts of games, including touch football, where the guys loved her so much, they would affectionately slam her into the furniture.  One time, she had a tennis match right after a touch football game, and she was slammed so hard that she bruised a rib, and lost her tennis match, and was in tears.  (Maybe I was not supposed to let that particular cat out of the bag.)

Mostly, Uma is a vocalist and a keyboardist of an alternate rock band, which has gone on hiatus since Covid.  (If she insists, I will come back and put that in ALL CAPS, but I think it's time we put the disease in its place, and relegated it into a more appropriate non-caps position.)

The occupation Graphic Designer suggests that all her activities have to do with computer-generated images.  In fact, though, she loves to draw and paint, and given the chance, she would much rather drop everything and take up drawing and painting.  The only thing she likes better than drawing and painting is telling stories, so look out; these podcasts are likely to bend your ear, and fill it with lots of stories.
