Day 5 - Redux

So my television hosting debut was a success, or at least that is what I think. Wednesday night, as you know, I guest-hosted More Sports and Les Levine. I had a plan going in with topics to discuss and everything flowed well. My guest, Paul Cousineau of The Diatribe, did a great job and had solid chemistry with me. I was a little nervous when it started, but got into a groove after the first segment.

I'll be honest, there is nothing I would rather do with my career than being on TV or writing about sports. I know, at age 32, it seems like a pipe dream, but my path is going to be to put myself out there as much as I can with my blogs and some potential other things when my website (todddery.com) launches. I will continue writing over at theclevelandfan.com and Dump David Dellucci, and today I got an email from the web editor for Cleveland Scene Magazine asking if I would like to do a weekly column for their re-launching website in the fall. He evidently liked my work on the blogs.

So back to the TV show. I want to put this up so everyone outside of C-town can see it. In the past, the production company put the show right up on youtube in segments. They wouldn't for me for some reason, so I had to take matters into my own hands. They gave me a DVD copy to work with, but it was all in one giant file that was too big for youtube. I'm somewhat computer savvy, but most of it is me asking my boy Teddy how to do something and he sends me in the right direction.

So I had to "rip" the DVD and save it online, and move it into a Windows Movie Maker file. Then break in into segments. Those segments have to be uploaded to youtube. Somewhere along the line, the video and audio didn't mix perfectly. It's a little off, but definitely watchable.

So for your viewing pleasure, here are the first three segments:

Segment 1 - fast forward about 45 seconds.
