NM0023 – Balancing Act

NM0023 - Balancing Act

As many of you know, New Mexico’s most enchanting video podcast is also an occasional audio podcast.

This week’s audio episode is all about finding balance. Balance between time at home and time for work; between taking the girls with me on a shoot so they can share in the experience and getting the best story possible; and so on. This search for balance is the story of my life, really.

Now that I know that the majority of you would like to hear an occasional audio episode (based on the poll we did that showed about 93% of you would be in favor of it), I am going to create them from time to  time. I think the audio podcasts are the perfect place to not only ramble about whatever is on my mind, but also to update my audience on things like giveaways, surveys and other current news. That will allow me to keep the video podcasts evergreen (i.e. not dated) since they are available on line long after some of the current events are no longer current.

Speaking of changes, I am working on some big ones here on NewMexicast.com. I will be trying new things to see what works and what doesn’t, so if you notice something that is NOT working, please let me know right away.

New Mexico’s most Enchanting Video Podcast is back with a Flamenco encore!

After posting the previous episode of New Mexicast about “Flamenco in New Mexico,” I got the following email from a viewer:

“This was a fascinating episode. I have one criticism – we did not get a sense of the power of the flamenco dance and music -the podcast is all a little too “sweet” maybe. Odd that this midwestern Jewish old lady knows about flamenco. But I saw it several times on the stage as an adult. I went to those performances because I had heard the sounds of the gypsy women singing/shouting when I was just a kid. My Dad played recordings of great flamenco singers.

But Rosa Linda, I may be looking at this from an impossibly demanding level. Your program is not a segment of “Sunday Morning”, or a pbs segment on dance in New Mexico. “

And this wasn’t the only email/comment that expressed disappointment over not seeing any of the actual performances. So, for my loyal viewers who were left wanting more last time, this episode is for you. I may not have the staff or resources of PBS or “Sunday Morning” but I hope this comes closer to what you had in mind.

I hope you all enjoy this encore!

Lots of love,

Rosa Linda

P.S. I LOVE feedback (yes, even criticism), so please leave a comment after you watch the video! Thanks.
