Yakking It Up with Martin Lindeskog

interview.jpg

I recently had a nice long interview (60 minutes) with Marting Lindeskog who runs EGO, his blog out of Sweden.

Martin did a neat job of guiding the conversation around to all my favorite subjects: the creative process, the Cox and Forkum days and what it's like running my own blog.

You can catch it all here, funny lisp and all.

John,

Thanks again for the conversation! I enjoyed it very much!

I will add some show notes to my blog post during the day.

I want to link to your post regarding the media photo, gallery cartoon, Black & White World books, EGO banner process, Frank Frazetta, Michael Patrick Ramirez, Final Bow, Matamoros, oil on canvas project, sci-fi authors, caricature contest & auction, etc.

All the Best,

Martin

john cox:

HEY MARTIN

Thanks for all your kind efforts. Including all those topics will give your viewers a chance to see what we were talking about. Nice touch

Hey John,

I have now updated the post with a timeline with show notes. Please provide the names of the sci-fi authors.

Cheerio!

Kevin[0]:

Neat!

I'm more of a reader than a listener, but I'm looking forward to going through the interview when I get a chance.

The timeline and context you provided is great, Martin.

Thanks to you both!

Kevin[0]:

Thank you very much for your feedback. Enjoy the interview!

Good to see you're cookin' away on projects there,I envy the studio scenario where you can paint-nice!

Kevin[0]:

I couldn't make out a lisp, actually, though I think all the "s"s had a little white noise attached. The mp3 was fair quality for the most part, but there are some sporadic harsh audio noises or glitches.

I like how the interview somehow meandered through so many subjects. Good job, Martin.

And the contrast between Martin's subdued tone and John's high energy and excitement was fun and funny.

Besides all the interesting tidbits, there's some good insights, too, such as "always keep doing" -- there's a discipline to creativity. "Perfectionism is the enemy of creation", as they say. That truth alone will provide oodles of depths for me to ponder while I avoid actually doing something. :)

But I'm especially pleased that I can now imagine John's joyful voice as I read the site. Thanks, guys!

Kevin[0]:

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I appreciate it very much.

I heard a couple of harsh audio noises / glitches during the archived episode, but I don't know the source. It could be something with my headset, Skype connection or technological stuff at Blog Talk Radio.

I try to ask my guest in a calm voice and I want to create a laid-back atmosphere, listening to and learning from the guest. I am striving to have a conversation that is down to earth, focusing on ideas in action.

I enjoyed the conversation with John very much and his energy and joyful voice gave me fuel to keep the interview going. It was a great example of a positive exchange between two individuals.

Please feel free to send me suggestions and tips for future podcast shows.

All the Best,

Martin
