The working title of our first podcast was "Mortgages." We called it "Mortgages" because that was our prompt -- mortgages. After the episode was recorded and edited, we told our colleagues and friends, "Hey, we finished recording our first podcast. It's called "Mortgages." Their faces told us we needed to rename the episode.

Without a smart title for our first episode, I asked the other Heads for suggestions, and they replied with titles that contained the word "home." I was hoping for a clever and targeted title. My mind gave me nothing noteworthy. What arrangement of words could frame our conversation?

Our podcast is a conversation, and our conversations are directed by a prompt. Each week one of the three heads chooses a prompt. Our first prompt, "mortgages" led us to discuss our homes. Actually, we skipped right passed the prompt, and instead, each of us tells a story about how we bought our first home.

Our conversations often involve monologues. We ask for your patience.

Our stories reveal more than the process of home buying; instead, they reveal a sliver of what we are and who we are. Practical details like where we live and how old we are are scattered throughout the recording. These practical details tell one story, but another, more compelling narrative is in the subtext: our process. Our processes describe how we move through life and how we puzzle-out basic social imperatives, like buying a house and the responsibilities of a mortgage.

Other things. We are working to set-up the expected social media sites and promotional aspects of podcasting. Again, we ask for your patience. For us, it is a process, and the process will lead us, and we expect we will get there when we get there.

One more thing. It could be argued that we are recording ourselves for ourselves. A document. And, it could be argued that we are eager to share our work together. And, it could be argued that someone suggested that we create a podcast, and we did. All are true.

Cheers!
