Toledo, the Glass City, the 419...
Our beloved metropolis is packed with flavor and history which deserves a platform. I'd like to provide that platform by developing a podcast dedicated to revealing the characters, personalities, and gems of Toledo; an adventure in mining the depths of our fair city for the stories of its inhabitants.
I hope to capture this through great interviewing techniques as well as competent high quality sound processing and editing. These recordings would then be digitally archived and fully accessible on the internet, including the iTunes and android market places. The goal is high internet, social media visibility while ensuring that 419tales is free to anyone who desires to listen. In order to get started, I need to establish a very modest home studio as well as develop the ability to be mobile to capture recordings in the field... aka have mic will travel... to festivals, events, or even dinner and discussion. This is the nuts and bolts of my GOFUNDME site... I'm looking to purchase equipment (start with good quality microphones for in-house recording as well as portable digital recording devices... Additionally, a sound mixing program for bumper music to enhance the listening experience which would also assist in editing/mixing down the stories themselves.) A solid long term goal is to upgrade this website so that I can house these recordings safely in the Cloud or perhaps Dropbox.
Essentially, by using this podcast as a mirror of Toledo, I hope to further the burgeoning movement of pride in this place we call home. Documenting and archiving these stories will help to preserve the unique character of Toledo, of us, in 419 Tales.
Please consider donating to a dedicated GOFUNDME site to see this project get up on its feet.
