Plans to remedy confusion starting with episode 4
Hello, everyone. Sorry if my first podcast was confusing. I didn't really explain what I believe about freedom and why. I have this trip coming up, and taking the next two weeks of my show. Then I plan to start explaining the basics of my beliefs. What liberty means to me, why do I think it is important; a test to see how closely your beliefs line up with mine, and what is the evidence to support my beliefs. I will introduce you to the world of political thought called libertarianism.

About my current (lack of) technology
I am new to this, as you probably realize, and don't have much technology or technical knowledge of better ways to do this.
Just so you know -
I have a 5/6-year-old personal computer which is, of course, rather slow. I do have a free audio editing program, audacity but it takes a long time to open a file so I can cut out unwanted sounds.
I use an MP3 player for my audio recording, and my photographs were taken with a Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS digital camera.
I welcome any advice about how to improve my processes, especially if it's something free or fairly inexpensive. I will be moving to a new laptop computer later this year.

Links and future show info
Here are some actual links for the websites I gave in the first post.
Porcfest
Free State Project
I plan to do this blog and podcast once a week. I will try to post the shows on Wednesdays, but since I will be traveling for my second and third shows, it is likely both will be posted on Thursday, July 1. In the second show I will talk about what I see at Porcfest and hopefully find some people to be interviewed. In my third show I will be traveling back home and talk about my impressions and thoughts about the previous week.
After that I will be back to living away from where freedom is happening, and will have to come up with some other interesting content, news stories and internet articles probably.

First podcast
I have just started this podcast, freedom rambler.
I intend this as a means to talk about my thoughts on issues related to freedom vs government.
I will also introduce it with a piano piece about rambling, and showcase 1 additional piano piece. As much as possible I would like to make my showcase piece about freedom, but frankly I don't know enough of these musical selections to choose one of those every week.
In this episode 1, I introduce my podcast and talk about my plans for next week. I will be making a trip to New Hampshire to participate in the Porcupine Freedom Festival (short version: PorcFest), an event put on by the Free State Project.
The Free State Project, acronym FSP, is an organization with the aim of getting 20,000 liberty-loving individuals to move to one state to focus their efforts to regain freedom in a smaller area rather than trying to overcome impossible odds with the Federal Government. They have chosen the state of New Hampshire. In this podcast I go into a few of the reasons, I plan to go over the list of reasons later, but the next two weeks will be about Porcfest.
