Forgotten Free Time (Encore Episode 131) Podcast

This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

This week’s episode of Encore has us discussing what we think is the best way to “roll out” an album. What should bands do to maximize the hype and avoid being too overexposed? We also tackle the idea of “free time” and what it means to us as we get a little older. How do we decide what to do with those precious few hours and decide between playing video games, listening to podcasts, or reading a book? The answer is never easy. We also touch a little on Thomas seeing Blink-182 and The Menzingers’ live, new music from Jimmy Eat World, Every Time I Die, and American Football, and I guess college football is coming back and people are excited.

Also, we have released another bonus episode for supporters where we discuss our top three breakfast foods. Supporters can find that in the supporter forum.

In terms of consumption — reading books, reading articles, listening to podcasts or music or audio books, comic books, video games, TV and movies, etc etc. Is there any “pressure” in what you choose to spend your time on with a full-time job / generally busy lifestyle, etc. Do you “abandon” things?
