Episode 320-Moving Forward

Like my big brother, Big Fatty, I sat down in front of the microphone not having an idea what I was going to say.

As I started talking about my upcoming meeting with my minister to discuss my eventual career as a Unity minister, I started down a path of remembering what got me where I am going, and thinking about the force that kept moving me forward. So, my "little show" took a turn I was not expecting. I'm glad it did, and I share that with you.

Happy 5th Anniversary, Ramble Redhead!

In honor of his fifth anniversary of podcasting, I wanted to share a special treat from my own show's archives.

Over the last four years, I have had the pleasure (?) of doing update shows based on American Idol. This clip is a compilation of some of the more insane moments from the first two years of our having done the update together. Most of this material never made it into the final cut of the episode, while some of it did.

I hope you enjoy it, and please visit RambleRedhead.com to check out his show.

Episode 310-Fat Check

If you are in the NYC area, please check out the new independent movie musical *Clear Blue Tuesday,* starring podsafe musicians Cassandra Kubinski and Brother Love--as well as many other fine actor-singer-songwriters!

I take some time to "fat check" a grave error made on Episode 666 of *Big Fatty Online*
