POISON Drummer To Launch Podcast

October 28, 2005

POISON drummer Rikki Rockett has posted the following message on his MySpace page:

"So I've decided to do a Podcast. For those of you not familiar with what a Podcast is, the Wikipedia Encyclopedia describes it, in part as follows: Podcasting is a method of publishing audio and video programs via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading of audio onto portable players or personal computers.

"'Podcasting.' in its strictest sense. is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS or Atom) to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated 'radio shows,' and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method. Listeners may subscribe to feeds using 'podcatching' software (a type of aggregator),which periodically checks for and downloads new content automatically.

"O.K., so what will I talk about? After all, I have to fill this Podcast thing with some kind of content, right. So, what do you expect? Some babbling rock-star jerk-off, obsessed with strip club boobs, and using a vocabulary chiefly made up of words like fuck and dude and expressions like, 'What the fuck-ever dude?' Or… I could be one of those pseudo-intellectual-wanna-be rocker types. You know, like how Gene Simmons is now, appearing on things like CNN to talk about… um, sorry, I don't remember. But, I'm sure it involved sex somewhere along the line.

"Some may remember when I did my Dr. Rockett Show on KNAC.com. That was big fun! I worked along with some really great guests to solve relationship and other types of issues for folks. It started off as a goof and progressed to extremely serious issues like rape and suicide. Along with the fun I began to feel a huge sense of responsibility. Not to mention I wasn't handling my own relationships so wonderfully. Yikes! So, here I remain, wondering.

"I do have a few ideas, though. How about one Dr. Rockett question. Play a song or two from an unsigned band. Talk about one current issue and bring a guest on to help with it. And, ask some guy, in some bar a super serious question about something while he is drunk."

"Suggestions, please!"
