I would wait a little while before I would mention the topic of tickling: should not be the first few shows. Might be a better idea-slowly wait till later to incorporate the topic of tickling and talking about it-especially that is if you are thinking on sharing how you feel on tickling-your views on it. Just a idea. You don't have to go with this-just saying might be a good idea to hold off on. Since you are just doing these shows and you are working right now on getting an audience basis/fans. I am not saying there are not those that enjoy tickling-later mentioning it in one show or so-not a crime -however give it time -let you have more time to help first kick this depression-let the depression slip away first-wait till you feel lot better. That way you will feel confident and less nervous, not so anxious-be lot more comfortable answering questions and having a discussion on this topic. You want to be seen as confident and comfortable-especially if your parents see this-if you decide to show them your shows-that way it looks more natural and don't look or seem strange to your parents or to your audience. I say wait until you feel really confident and really calm before throwing tickling into the show. Give it time to gain a solid audience/viewer/listener basis without tickling being mentioned. I think that might be really helpful-not forget the idea-just place it on the back burner for a little while till you feel comfy with the idea/until you find co hosts and guests that feel comfy on the topic.
Wow so you have thought a lot about this huh? 🙂 Interesting I must say. I am just a little surprised. I take it then you are thinking of still letting your parents, some of your family and your nephews watch/hear these new internet shows-including maybe mentioning tickling? Wow that is pretty brave. Just surprised. Then again-it might be fine-considering that you told me how your dad got into his first car minor fender bender accident tickling a lady in the passenger side LOL thank God no one got hurt. Remember when you told me that-I laughed like crazy.
I laughed and laughed and I could not stop laughing for a while about your dad tickling that lady in the passenger side-getting into that minor accident, I couldn't help it. You would never imagine a person getting into a fender bender that way lol. I don't think it is necessarily really "outing" your tickle kink-just saying-very brave thing to do. However if you feel you want to incorporate tickling in the mix of the shows along with a wide range of interesting and entertaining fun topics I don't really see the harm. I just wonder what made you decide to think on doing this, what got you thinking on this? If you do incorporate tickling in the mix of the shows-you going to go real in depth about tickling/ tickling also can be casual and fun lighthearted-along with being erotic? Or you just going to briefly talk on it in general tickling that is-not go in depth?
Honestly I think your dad will laugh and not see no harm in it and you might get teased a bit in fun but I don't think he will think it strange. Not like you are going to be mentioning about how gatherings go and how that goes on-real stuff in depth like that. Probably stay in general briefly mentioning the topic right like maybe one show or so- not the main focus since lot of your shows be on wide range of topics correct? Sorry for so many questions just curious. Are you getting tired of hiding the love for tickling? Hey no harm, no crime in that. Yeah hiding love for tickling can get real tiring after a while.
Oh and a comment and a helpful suggestion to you: I would stop mentioning about the whole thing about not really looking and not wishing to see comments posted on your show-I know you want your podcast video shows to be a huge hit and to really become viral -meaning spread like wildfire-be great shows many view-however don't think this is how to do it. I know you mean well-my suggestion would be-ok you made your point on that-encourage and allow your viewers/audience to make comments -what I have found to be true-is that the you tube videos I end up marking as favorites or on a personal favorite playlist-videos that actually have a huge variety of comments- ones that give compliments to the person that made the video-or things that are mentioned that the person really loves or likes on the videos-be honest at times -besides the videos I enjoy putting on favorites and playlists-ones with the great comments and compliments-gives the viewers/audience -nice quick positive summary of what the video is about-usually peaks a person's interest to click on the video. Just a idea. Hope this helps. Oh and usually if a person finds a video a hit-favorites the video, makes a comment-usually later on or right then will end up forwarding the video to family, friends, then those friends if they like it reforward it-and so on. So really encouraging comments and suggestions from your audience/fans/listeners/viewers-is a really great thing to do. Remember along with the good comes the bad-but don't take it to heart-hold close the good comments/feedback- keep working on making the shows be great and helpful-a joy to view and listen to.🙂 Sending you hugs
Oh and ps one more side note: Keep posting really neat videos-the fireworks and laser video-was stellar-very catchy and awesome-people love videos and pictures-you are right-all about making your shows interactive with your audience/viewers/listeners. I am glad you are not making your podcasts about goofing around, eating and drinking beverages-like you said nothing wrong with that but that is not your ultimate goal for the shows. Thank you so much for pointing that out-too many silly videos like that-good for you-you are going to be great, just know it. Sounds like your shows are going to be on a wide range of topics, helpful, entertaining and fun-solid and based on quality and real great depth and variety. Way to go. Hugs😉 Sorry for now on this post last note: I would keep to one on one at first-then slowly work your way up-one on one a few times then few then more on the interviews that is.
