This series is all about showcasing Libsyn podcasters. Its sole purpose is to introduce these awesome podcasts to the world as well as share their podcasting insight to empower the community!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It will be a year on February 27, 2016.<\/p>\n It\u2019s funny. In public I say it was to bring people to my food writing. To drive traffic to my blog.<\/p>\n The reality?<\/p>\n I podcast because I have to. I\u2019ve suffered from depression my entire life. But two years ago I had a particularly bad episode.<\/p>\n I felt like I\u2019d dug a subbasement beneath the basement of my soul. I was a 47-year-old woman without joy.<\/p>\n A writer who didn\u2019t write.<\/p>\n My therapist didn\u2019t know how to help me, and I certainly didn\u2019t know what the hell to do with myself other than watch movies and play video games.<\/p>\n At least in simulated life, I could control my actions. Control that world. It got so bad when my therapist let me go I wanted to walk into traffic.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a rabid fan of Marc Maron and used to play \u201cradio station\u201d when I was a kid, so when he talked for the umpteenth time about how podcasting saved him I figured why the hell not?<\/p>\n I took an online course, developed a website, and took that leap of faith. Filled to the brim with fear, anxiety, and panic. Certain I\u2019d fail. Twenty-four episodes in I\u2019m still scared shitless every time I record.<\/p>\n But I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got a purpose. I\u2019m putting it out there and folks are responding. To date, I\u2019ve met every deadline.<\/p>\n That\u2019s huge.<\/p>\n My podcast has informed my writing. It got me writing again. It\u2019s given me dreams and goals, but more than anything it has taught me the hardest part is just showing up.<\/p>\n edacious<\/a> (e\u00b7da\u00b7cious \u2013 \/i?d?SH?s\/ \u2013 adjective. Of, relating to, or given to eating. From the Latin edere, to eat. Synonyms: voracious \u2013 gluttonous \u2013 ravenous \u2013 greedy \u2013 piggish.)<\/p>\n Charlottesville, Virginia, like many other communities has hyperactive social media when it comes to food.<\/p>\n Too often this results in folks talking ABOUT rather than talking WITH one another. Edacious attempts to bridge that gap to create connection.<\/p>\n This is a podcast for anyone ravenous about food. Every other Friday writer I will present a topic then bring in someone with food passion to talk, laugh, and commiserate. By fostering connection, we celebrate our bounty and create community.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a writer of food, fiction, travel, and essay.<\/p>\n I\u2019m obsessed with vintage cookbooks and diners, adore brunch with cocktails, prefer barefoot picnics to fine dining, and believe biscuits with honey to be a cure-all.<\/p>\n My spirit animals are Larry Bly and Laban Johnson from the legendary show, \u201cCookin\u2019 Cheap\u201d.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not a chef or a foodie, just someone who loves to cook, eat, travel, and write about it all.<\/p>\n Hopefully, I won\u2019t piss off too many people. But then that wouldn\u2019t be any fun, would it?<\/p>\n I record with a Roland R05, no mixer, usually onsite somewhere whether it\u2019s a restaurant or my \u201crented\u201d space in an engraving shop.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve only had to use mics once due to echo, two ATR2100\u2019s. I edit with Audition and host my podcasts through LibSyn.<\/p>\n Feed is through Feedburner. I also use the Blubrry plugin on my WordPress.org site that has the Maron Appendipity theme. Got my intro music from Music Bakery.<\/p>\n What have you got? \ud83d\ude09 I Tweet, Instagram, write blog posts for the website and purchase a small amount of promoted ads through Facebook.<\/p>\n I ask and answer questions on numerous Facebook podcast groups and mention the Edacious to everyone I know, passing out business cards along the way at food events, festivals, and gatherings.<\/p>\n The Always Listening podcast also reviewed me which was fun, and I interviewed KathEats, a nationally-recognized blogger which really helped with download numbers.<\/p>\n There you have it peeps! Foodies, communicators, community lovers, food obsessed, y\u2019all must subscribe<\/a> to Edacious!
