[Speaker 0] Good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon. Whatever the
[Speaker 0] case may be. This is Mike, and this
[Speaker 0] is Mike Dell's world number four thirty six
[Speaker 0] and also episode thirty of NAPOD promo twenty
[Speaker 0] twenty five. We did it. Well, okay. I
[Speaker 0] did it. But I tell you what, it
[Speaker 0] it has inspired me this year. I don't
[Speaker 0] know what it is about this year versus
[Speaker 0] other years of doing the daily, podcast, and
[Speaker 0] and I have been kind of doing it
[Speaker 0] daily. And what I mean by that is
[Speaker 0] sometimes I record ahead a little bit, but
[Speaker 0] not always. You know, a lot of times
[Speaker 0] it was same day or night before usually,
[Speaker 0] and then I set it to go in
[Speaker 0] the morning. And, yeah, that's, but, you know,
[Speaker 0] I did all thirty, and I did them
[Speaker 0] relatively daily. You know, like I said, I
[Speaker 0] would record a couple of them sometimes ahead
[Speaker 0] a little bit, like this one. I'm actually
[Speaker 0] recording this, on Thanksgiving, so it's a few
[Speaker 0] days ahead of time. But, I I wanna
[Speaker 0] get this out. I've got a, I've got
[Speaker 0] an announcement. I wanted to get this out,
[Speaker 0] and I've just been really anxious about it.
[Speaker 0] And I'm gonna get this queued up so
[Speaker 0] you won't hear it until Sunday, but happy
[Speaker 0] Sunday. Hopefully, the snow hasn't been too bad.
[Speaker 0] Here on Thanksgiving, it's not been too bad.
[Speaker 0] But, again, it's predicted to be snowmageddon, but
[Speaker 0] usually when they predict snowmageddon, it doesn't happen.
[Speaker 0] As they talked about in the blizzard of
[Speaker 0] seventy eight, they they weren't really predicting it
[Speaker 0] to be crazy except for one one of
[Speaker 0] the weatherman, did, but, nobody else expected it
[Speaker 0] to be that bad. But holy crud. Hopefully,
[Speaker 0] we don't have anything like that. But, anyhoo,
[Speaker 0] my big announcement. And, you know, some of
[Speaker 0] you might already heard about it. I've kinda
[Speaker 0] sorta posted it around a little bit, but
[Speaker 0] I'm, starting a new daily show tomorrow, December
[Speaker 0] first. I'm gonna be, doing a new show,
[Speaker 0] new feed, new everything called cup of Traverse
[Speaker 0] City. That sounds like a weird name, but
[Speaker 0] what what this is gonna be is a
[Speaker 0] five minute or so show that I'm gonna
[Speaker 0] do in the morning when I'm drinking my
[Speaker 0] coffee. And who knows what I'm gonna talk
[Speaker 0] about? I'm gonna talk for, you know, four
[Speaker 0] or five minutes and tell you what's going
[Speaker 0] on around here, what's going on in my
[Speaker 0] world. Not not Mike Dell's world, but the
[Speaker 0] world around Traverse City. Just, you know, a
[Speaker 0] daily snippet. I'm only gonna do it Monday
[Speaker 0] through Friday, though. I'm not gonna do it
[Speaker 0] on the weekends. And part of that is
[Speaker 0] that I'll probably have topics as I go
[Speaker 0] through the week that I wanna expand on,
[Speaker 0] and that's what I'll do here on Mike
[Speaker 0] Dell's world. So in theory I know I've
[Speaker 0] said this a hundred times before, so, you
[Speaker 0] know, it is what it is. But in
[Speaker 0] theory, I'll do, Mike Dell's world episode weekly
[Speaker 0] sometime along the week when I have time
[Speaker 0] and the inclination. But I do plan on,
[Speaker 0] you know, most days, do the five minute
[Speaker 0] cup of Traverse City. Now there'll be times
[Speaker 0] when I'm out of town. You know, I've
[Speaker 0] got some, travel on the agenda, and I
[Speaker 0] may or may not publish while I'm on
[Speaker 0] travel. But I will let you guys know
[Speaker 0] ahead of time, those of you that decide
[Speaker 0] to go over and check out Cup of
[Speaker 0] Traverse City. You could get there by going
[Speaker 0] to cup of traverse city dot com, or
[Speaker 0] you can, go directly to the source. I
[Speaker 0] think I did mention this on another episode.
[Speaker 0] Oh, well. But this is my big announcement.
[Speaker 0] I am gonna do it. I'm committed to
[Speaker 0] it. We're gonna do it. You can also
[Speaker 0] go to podcast dot show slash c o
[Speaker 0] t c, you know, cup of Traverse City.
[Speaker 0] And it's gonna be a hyper local show.
[Speaker 0] It's gonna be a show mostly about Traverse
[Speaker 0] City and what's going on here. You know,
[Speaker 0] probably talk about the weather a fair amount
[Speaker 0] depending on what's going on in the weather.
[Speaker 0] You know, sometimes it's boring, but sometimes it's
[Speaker 0] not. You know? So it's gonna evolve, you
[Speaker 0] know, what topics I talk about, all that.
[Speaker 0] But, it's gonna be a little five minute
[Speaker 0] update every day, you know, something of hopefully
[Speaker 0] use. If not anything else entertaining and kinda
[Speaker 0] Twitter sized snippets. But, I've got it down
[Speaker 0] to, you know, my production down to a
[Speaker 0] science. I mean, literally, it's gonna be flip
[Speaker 0] the mic on, talk for five minutes, stop
[Speaker 0] it, publish it, be done with it, and,
[Speaker 0] you know, I can get that going, you
[Speaker 0] know, within ten, fifteen minutes. And that's that's
[Speaker 0] gonna be the key to the success. You
[Speaker 0] know, if it's hard to do, you know,
[Speaker 0] people don't tend to do stuff that's hard
[Speaker 0] all the time. So this won't be particularly
[Speaker 0] hard for me. Hopefully, it won't be particularly
[Speaker 0] hard for you. Actually, I did yeah. When
[Speaker 0] I mentioned the ads, right, I do have
[Speaker 0] a couple of test episodes over there, and
[Speaker 0] I did I I do have one there
[Speaker 0] where I talk about how to subscribe, and
[Speaker 0] or follow the podcast and probably, you know,
[Speaker 0] some other ways than just a normal podcast
[Speaker 0] app. Yeah. It works. Of course, it's gonna
[Speaker 0] work in all the podcast apps as well,
[Speaker 0] but, you know, there there's a couple of
[Speaker 0] apps that might get it there quicker so
[Speaker 0] you can listen to it in not quite
[Speaker 0] real time. I'm not gonna go live. Although,
[Speaker 0] I do have the capability. I don't think
[Speaker 0] you don't get enough people doing that. Listen
[Speaker 0] live, and you don't wanna have to be
[Speaker 0] somewhere at a certain time, but, hopefully, it'll
[Speaker 0] be published somewhere around eight AM. Again, you
[Speaker 0] know, it could be a little later, could
[Speaker 0] be a little earlier, could you know, if
[Speaker 0] I have to prerecord one, I might record
[Speaker 0] one the night before, and it'll go real
[Speaker 0] early. But for the most part, it's gonna
[Speaker 0] be same day, around eight o'clock in the
[Speaker 0] morning eastern time, Traverse City time. And, yeah.
[Speaker 0] Go over there and check that out at
[Speaker 0] cup of traverse city dot com and, get
[Speaker 0] signed up. There's, you know, there's links there
[Speaker 0] to Apple and Spotify and podcast index and
[Speaker 0] email and Android and all the other places.
[Speaker 0] And then if you scroll all the way
[Speaker 0] to the bottom of that page that comes
[Speaker 0] up, you'll see a thing that, says modern
[Speaker 0] podcast apps. If you use one of those
[Speaker 0] apps, it's gonna update fairly instantly after I
[Speaker 0] publish. Now, you know, technology being what technology
[Speaker 0] is, it might not always work. But, anyway,
[Speaker 0] something interesting for those of you around Traverse
[Speaker 0] City or those interested in around Traverse City.
[Speaker 0] This is my attempt at a hyperlocal daily
[Speaker 0] podcast. So check it out over at cup
[Speaker 0] of Traverse City dot com and or, podcast
[Speaker 0] dot show slash c o t c. And
[Speaker 0] I will catch you tomorrow on Cup of
[Speaker 0] Traverse City and probably next weekend on Mike
