Celebrating 1100 Podcasts

Most importantly it’s hard to believe I’m celebrating 1100 podcasts. Time to reach for the highest ground in Celebrating-1100-Podcasts-Bob Davis Podcast 1100.

Campfire Every Night

And it’s even more fun to do this podcast in front of a campfire very late at night.

There’s Something About Eleven Hundred

On the other hand I usually save these celebrations for podcasts in the five hundred increment.

But there’s something about the number eleven hundred.

Pivotal Time

Firstly the last one hundred podcasts have covered a pivotal time in history.

Secondly these last one hundred podcasts have spanned a similar period in my own life.

Depth

So the content in Celebrating-1100-Podcasts-Bob Davis Podcast 1100 has some depth.

Back To The First

For example going back to the first podcasts I did back in 2009.

Changes In Travel Style

In addition the changes in travel style triggered by the inflation which started back at the end of 2021.

Content

Finally eleven hundred podcasts comprise a great deal of content.

More Than Ten Years

That is to say in addition to a radio career now podcasting for more than ten years.

Veteran Content Creator

Makes me a veteran content creator too.

Changes In The World Of Podcasting

Above all there’s been a lot of changes in the world of podcasting.

YouTube Too

Even more with the restart of my own YouTube channel there have been quite a few changes with me too.

Twists And Turns

Certainly it’s been an opportunity to follow the twists and turns driven by the podcast.

Personal Development

And the personal development that’s come with those twists and turns.

Radio Show

For example most of the early podcasts were a continuation of my radio show.

Evolution To The Deep

But very quickly evolved into deeper topics.

Travel and Adventure

Consequently moving out of the political social content toward travel and adventure.

Happier

And as a result much happier as a person.

Bette Davis

In the same vein it was the actress Bette Davis who famously said she never sought money but experience.

Labor Of Love

Similarly this has been a labor of love for me since the beginning.

Back Roads Rule

Moreover I have learned more about people in the United States on the road and on back roads than I ever could have in a radio or podcast studio back home.

Sublime

To sum up the nomad experience has been sublime for many reasons.

Joy Of Two Lanes

And here’s hoping the next 1100 podcasts reflect the joy of the two lane experience.

Nomadland-Reaction-Review-Bob Davis Podcast 992

Nomadland Reaction and Review

Above all I am not a movie critic but I am a nomad and I did see the movie Nomadland, so here’s my reaction and review. Learn more by listening to Nomadland-Reaction-Review-Bob Davis Podcast 992.

Have You Seen It?

In addition my listeners want to know if I’ve seen Nomadland.

Not An Action Movie

First of all we’re drowning in an ocean of super action hero movies.

It’s Real And That’s Why It’s Great

Therefore it’s easy to see why Nomadland is winning so many awards.

Did I Say Real?

Firstly this is a movie about a very real topic.

American Workers Crisis

Companies that disappear. Workers who are thrown away and forgotten.

Struggles

Secondly some people struggle with grief, loss and other issues.

Forced Into Nomad Life or Freedom?

Consequently I can be forgiven for thinking the main character in Nomadland is ‘forced’ into life as a nomad.

However not everyone agrees with my assessment.

How Do You Do it?

In addition I often get questions from people about “how I do it”.

Cue The Raised Eyebrows from Dad

Furthermore Nomadland will only intensify raised eyebrows and questions of concern.

Certainly the movie got that right.

Life With No Tether

I’ve already discussed life with no tether.

Not Instagram

In short let’s just say Nomadland isn’t the movie version of the Instagram Van Life feed.

To sum up that is why it’s a great movie.

Real Nomads

Most of the people in Nomadland are real nomads.

Life Doesn’t Pack Neatly Into A Box

And there are elements about their lives and experiences that aren’t neatly wrapped up in a box

We Don’t All Have Brand New Sprinter Vans

Or summed up in that Instagram pic of that young sun kissed blonde woman and her boyfriend taking a shower on the back of their one hundred thousand dollar Sprinter Van.

Bureau Of Land Management Camping Isn’t Yellowstone

Even more let’s not forget the golden sunset on gorgeous beaches and fantastic vegan meal spreads.

Sense Of Freedom

But the movie gets the sense of freedom right.

Your Experience May Vary

In conclusion Nomadland is not every nomad’s experience.

My truck is heated.

Pan frying steaks is my specialty. Obviously I eat meat. Not soup out of a can.

I don’t use a bucket.

This nomad gets along just fine in truck stops.

Diesel #2 is pretty awesome fuel.

A New Trend

Finally mobile workers and a nomad lifestyle may be the coming thing for many reasons.

If you’re considering it don’t let the movie scare you away.
