Okay, I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, so, a little over a year ago, I started doing this very podcast. And so to celebrate the

anniversary of the podcast, I thought I'd have a podcast on the podcast. Sort of a meta podcast, if you will.

Because we all know, I've never met a podcast I didn't like. Okay. So today, I'm going to talk

about Drive to Work. Hopefully, in the Venn diagram of my listeners, the ones that like Drive to Work

and the ones that listen to Drive to Work overlap. So I'm going to talk a little bit about how this podcast came to be and a few

stories about the making of this podcast, um, because there are some fun stories. Um, okay, so I will

start with the origin story. How did Drive to Work come to be? And the answer is, it was interesting. So,

in the back of my head, there's a bunch of things. Like, when I did my podcast on Tales

from the Pit, I admitted that, you know, I always kind of wanted to do a comic strip, but I didn't

have, you know, the ability to do things like draw. And I think a podcast was something similar in the sense that I loved the idea of doing a

podcast, but I just didn't have time for a podcast.

And so, you know, I always thought of a podcast, like I'd have to carve out some amount

time every week, and my schedule is kind of crazy as is.

I'm usually on many teams at once,

and just scheduling me in general is hard.

The idea that I'd be able to book a time every week to go in a studio and record,

I just didn't think was possible or feasible.

But the way my brain works is I sort of figure out the non-negotiables and then I stick it in my brain and just it kind of percolates there.

And then at some point my brain goes, bing, and it has an idea.

So I knew in my head that a couple things.

I wanted to do a podcast.
