There was a summation from Cat after she watched the video last night and it was precise and sufficient. She brought it up this morning as then we could talk rather than firing text messages at each other. This time she went deeper in a cogent analysis and went directly to what I regarded as problems in it as well plus this gave her perspective on why they are problems. Miss Mona had also given her thoughts on it previously so all of this combines to what makes a better programme next time.
It's easy to find people to stroke you, finding people who will talk to you straight-up is much more difficult and a much better find. I don't need someone to tell me if I did something well as I probably already know that. It's where things are questionable that I may not and this is why straight-up talk of such things is important, invaluable, in fact.
A brief summary is too long, too wandery, not funny enough, etc. Those seem like vague criticisms but the actual conversation was more incisive and was definitely useful.
The biggest emphasis was don't worry about pissing some people off. Reverend Sasquatch v1 didn't care about pissing off anyone but Reverend Sasquatch v2 had a purpose not to offend anyone ... which is completely impossible.
Best to let it congeal for few more days before trying another one. That will get thoughts focused and then go for it. There's no big deal with technology this time as all buttons are identified, etc so the only requirement is willingness to do it.
One specific suggestion from Cat was regarding mention I have made of a conservative friend who is quite bright and is devoutly but not obsessively religious. His knowledge of history in a world and also a specifically religious context is excellent and it was he who apprised me of the fact Adam was a sleazy divorcee who was taking advantage of the naive and innocent Eve. This wanton behavior explains why men have had a second-place position in society throughout history.
That type of discussion is mildly blasphemous but I'm sure my friend could have fun in sparring with it because there's no interest in blood, it's simply one of mankind's favorite fairy tales and we like screwing with it. The serious content behind that is I do believe the Garden of Eden story is a significant component of the secondary position of women in Western culture. Given my friend's right wing sympathies and his knowledge of history, this could be a fascinating conversation.
The idea has not been proposed and he may say it's a rubbish idea but that type of dynamic is what I hope can come from the call-in capability.
Note: in acquiring Wirecast, do it through YouTube or it will cost you $500 to license the software to stop it from writing a watermark on the video and adding a brief voiceover about licensing every so often. It's intelligent software so it probably would not work to get the software through YouTube to use it with some other video service.
