Episode 212 - The Recorder Story

   I have always been impressed by the Pink Gorilla Story episode (episode 125) of Luke's English Podcast and ever since I started doing my podcast I have dreamt of trying my hand at an improvised story like that. It has always been an objective that seemed unlikely to achieve especially because I was never able to keep it engaging and make it funny enough. I think I tried several times in the past and it just wasn't doing it for me. Partly it was because I put too much presssure on myself and had high expectations, which made me alightly too nervous when recording.     It appears, finally, I may have managed to record something which seems to at least partially live up to the standards that I set myself. Strangely enough, I had no idea I was gonna do an improvised story. I just felt like recording a ramble episode instead but somehow I indeed ended up recording a story not disimilar to Luke's, at least in terms of the rules for doing this. I promise you, I had no script, and it is rather silly, and not finished, but hey, it's mine, it's original, my precious! The main character of the story is, quite surprisingly, my recorder. I didn't want to feature myself in it because that felt too similar to Luke's PGS in terms of the narration style, but at some point I got carried away and became part of the story, and I believe even turned into the main protagonist. Gandalf also makes an appearance, and the story starts itself in my own room. I wonder what you will think about this. It's definitely one of the most challenging things I have ever attempted to do here on ZEP.
