So today I had the pleasure of recording a podcast with Chantel and Lisa from the Guts & Glory podcast. This podcast is all about Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). I was lucky enough to go out and chat about my diagnosis, the Athletics for Life website, my journey with disease, participating in sports, diet, and a lot more. So before we go any further, I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to them for hosting me! It was a blast. So, if you are sitting around in silence, or just looking for a wicked podcast to listen to, give theirs a listen. It's entertaining, and in a little bit, the podcast featuring yours truly will be released (don't worry, I will definitely let you know when it comes out exactly). Yet, with being able to go out there and record, it gave me an idea to a bit of a problem I've been encountering lately.
So last week I had announced the start of the Science Series, Video Blogs, and the Gaming Against Disease streaming project. The good news is that two of those things are going exactly as planned. I continue to gather information for our first Science Series episode, in fact, so much information I might be good for the first two episodes!! Gaming Against Disease continues strong as we had another joint stream with Brian from Sarcastic Owls Production last night, where we finished the campaign of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Next up, we start Gears of War 2, and maybe, just maybe, we will open up a lobby and play with some viewers on multiplayer... who knows, maybe a sneak peak at Gears of War 4?? You will have to tune in and see May 20th, at 7pm, for the 4th installment of Gear Up Against Disease.
But what about the third big thing?? You know, the video blogs..... Well, anyone who has been following this site for a while has known that I've tried to launch video blogs a few times. Truth of the matter is, when I sat down for the Science Series and started looking into Gaming Against Disease, my soccer season schedule, and all the other things I'm currently working on (can't tell you guys everything), I just didn't have the time to do it any justice. BUT, enter a solution. Rather than video blogs, I am announcing the start of the Athletics for Life podcast!! You read that right. Rather than write these articles weekly, I will be launching a Podcast series with the same format as these articles. Now, that's not to say that these articles are going to stop. To be honest, I love writing these articles. But I want to bring you guys a new and efficient way for content and I believe that is through the use of a podcast. Now, you can take these little thoughts, ideas, and rants with you anywhere. I do not have an initial release date just yet, but that will be announced soon. I can't wait to get started on it!
Now, with that in mind, I think I've given a lot of cool things to look forward to. Not only am I guest starring on a really cool podcast, but it has given me the inspiration of launching my own. So here goes nothing!! That's it for me for today! Well, for now. Later today I will be streaming the Esports league I play in just in case anyone was curious about it! You can find the stream at: https://www.twitch.tv/gaming_against_disease . Unfortunately, I won't be taking any questions as I will be talking with my team, but still come take a look! Until the first podcast, or next written article (which ever comes first), I will see ya all soon!
