Monday Morning Moreno – Up Close and Personal w/ Luke Norris

Well, I’ll tell you there’s nothing like pulling yourself out of your comfort zone.  When you’ve been podcasting for as long as I have, talking movies and TV, you generally want to stab someone for having to hash over the same old shit. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it because I do, it’s just that I want to stab someone after a while.

That’s why starting Binge Media with Jim Law has been such a relief, a breath of fresh air, if you will.  Having the ability to do whatever you want and still maintain an audience is something that we both are eternally grateful for.  It humbles us to this day.  But being able to have a podcast about music or games or our kids or whatever is incredibly freeing.

To that extent, I wanted to level the playing field.  Game of Thrones, new music Tuesdays, the start of the big movie season, it’s all encompassing and overstimulating, and this week I wanted to scale things back and just talk. About anything other than TV, music or movies.

And so I contacted Luke Norris, writer of Binge Sports and Working the Weekend, host of the Binge SportsCast, and creator of The Luke Norris Experience.  But most importantly, a father of two beautiful daughters who light up his life.  Luke made a decision to write for a living and that is the catalyst for this podcast.

What goes on in this episode is two guys, two fathers and writers, talking about life and life experiences, fears and motivations and everything in between.  This is the loosest conversation I’ve ever had on a podcast, if not the most cathartic.  There was no agenda, only that I wanted to talk about Luke’s decision to focus solely on writing.

If you’ve ever had a really good friend that you can sit around and drink with in the garage or basement or deck and talk until the sun comes up, this podcast is definitely for you.

We plan to do a few more of these Up Close and Personal podcasts, so hopefully this sticks with someone and finds an audience.

Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Salud.
