Welcome to ANI, In the Air, Under the Tent, and Around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons and the rounds, our 10th day of Sudbury School.
0:07
Today was a hot day. Today was the last Monday of the school year.
0:11
We had our last Monday announcements, in which the yearbooks were announced, and we had our missions clerk speeches and election.
0:28
Ashley and I are the new missions clerks. Caroline was stepping down from that role, so she can focus on some other matters of the school.
0:39
Which, you know, admissions just takes a lot of time and energy.
0:46
So I'm excited to see how it goes with Ashley. I have been doing it with Caroline for a couple of years now.
0:52
And, you know, I think Ashley and I will make a good team. So we'll just have to see how that goes.
1:01
Mostly it'll be starting in September, because we've got quite a number of good, strong start of the new school year.
1:10
So we're not too anxious to have a whole bunch of other people lined up right at the beginning.
1:16
So we're okay with having some September interviews that then lead into either late September or early October visiting weeks and enrollment.
1:26
We'll see. We always need to kind of make sure that our, you know, community still stays strong as we take in new people.
1:37
We always need a little bit of time to adjust, figure out what's going on, you know, go through our JC process if necessary and all that good stuff.
1:46
So it looks like we're going to have a nice, good, strong start of the year. And I guess we'll see what happens.
1:54
What else happened in this today? Well, there was some snowball goings ons.
2:01
There wasn't too much activity. It was pretty hot, but there was a bunch of people sitting out underneath the tree shade for a while.
2:10
Pretty big group of teens. So that was nice to see. And people are starting to practice for the end of year show.
2:20
Get that kind of vibe going on. I mean, we talked about things we might need to do for that in our last staff meeting of the year.
2:32
So it's exciting to have a last staff meeting and we'll have them over the summer. But, you know, school year ends in five days.
2:42
That's the end of it. My podcast ends in five days. So in connection to that, today is Millions Monday.
2:52
And so I thought I'd try to just give a guesstimate of just how much time I've done on the podcast.
3:03
So basically, so this is kind of like, well, day 180 something or other.
3:16
But we had during the when we were online, I basically stopped doing it.
3:24
And so that might have been, I don't know, 40 days, 50 days, let's say.
3:29
So maybe 130 days, let's say 150 days. Why not?
3:35
So 150 days. And in general, well, I definitely also.
3:44
So I did the daily podcast every day and then I would do the talk about Tuesdays and the Wondrous Wednesdays.
3:51
Each of those is generally five to 10 minutes, along with the daily podcast being generally five, well, five, 10 minutes, I guess somewhere shorter, somewhere longer.
4:04
So I don't know. Let's go with seven minutes. Well, let's say five minutes for the daily podcast and 10 minutes for the other two things.
4:18
So underestimate on one overestimate on the other and maybe it comes out.
4:21
Now, there was approximately 40 some talk about Tuesdays and Wondrous Wednesdays, about 20 some each.
4:32
So I'm going to go with 50. And so 50 times 10 is 500 minutes or let's say 480 minutes and divide that by 60.
4:47
Hello, big old Chuck. And I guess that would be eight hours.
4:55
So eight hours of talk about Tuesday and Wondrous Wednesday, about four hours each.
5:00
All right. And for the daily podcast, five minutes for that, which is I just passed that mark on this particular one.
5:10
But so five minutes a day and I said 150. So that's about 750, which is.
5:27
I guess I'm going to want to say. Say 780, divide that by 60, and I believe that's 13.
5:41
13 hours. So I've been talking on this thing for 20 some hours this year.
5:48
20 hours doesn't sound like too much a lot, but I also do listen to it sometimes. I used to do that a lot more.
5:57
I do check that, you know, and there's another like so checking, uploading, modifying the thing on the Web site and Discord and fixing any mistakes.
6:11
So I kind of have my apple then. So I think it's kind of like another five five minutes, let's say.
6:19
So then that's another 13 hours. So that's almost 40 hours of time spent on this podcast.
6:25
There's also some podcast that I've had to redo. In fact, I had to do one today because for some reason I stopped it and started it.
6:32
Maybe I was just doodling on the trackpad. I don't know what happened. But anyway, so sometimes I actually do a second one.
6:40
So but, you know, 40 hours. So a full a full work week of just talking straight into a microphone.
6:46
That's what I've done this year. So if you've listened to all of that.
6:52
Well, kudos. You've learned a lot.
6:58
And. Yeah, I guess that's all I really have to say about that.
7:09
Yeah, I hope you I guess if you did it to XP, you listen to all of them.
7:16
You might have done 10 hours of listening to me drone on. So that's cool.
7:22
In any event, you all have a good one and I will see you when I see you.
7:28
Basically, I will continue this meta about the podcast tomorrow. I'll talk about its dramatic impact on the arts and ideas and the Greater Sudbury community.
7:42
Spoiler tip.
7:45
It kind of.
7:48
Well, the spelling of the word that I'm thinking of right now is N O T H I N G.
7:53
But we'll see what comes of it when I get to it.
7:57
You all have a good one, and see you when I see you.
