The Underdevelopment Podcast

I know it has been awhile since I’ve talked to all of you. Hell I know theres probably only about 10 of you who still check this site. For that I want to thank you for still being interested in what I have to say and the films that I make but I just want to give you a update of what has been going on.

A year has come and gone. I know that happened about a month ago but a lot of things are changing for me. I am still in australia finishing up my second semester here before heading back to the states to to completely finish up my degree along with shoot my senior thesis film which I am currently writing.

Within a very short period of time I’ve had to become a adult quicker and quicker. Alot of things are going on behind the scenes for me but I want to let a few things be known

1. I will be shutting down this site at some point. This is for a variety of reasons. Back when I started this site and the podcast/blog is was perfect for me at the time. I didn’t need to change anything but now with the comments system being beyond saveing. Along with newer needs I shall be moving to a new domain. This address will redirect to the new site so there is nothing to worry about. The podcast feed sadly will change. For a short period of time I will keep this feed and the new feed up but after certain point you will have to re-subscribe.

2. The format of the podcast will change with the site move. The vlog style of thing worked great for these past 2 years but its time I present something more professional to reflect my work. How the show will change is unsure. There are a varity of formats I am playing with but at this time I do not know the format of the show myself.

I wish to talk about other things but for various reasons I am unable to speak on these matters. To those of you who have stuck with my from the beginning I thank you very much. Without you all as a audience I would be unable to do what I have done. From working with some of the greats within the podcasting space to the Parsec nomination. I thank you all.

If you have any questions or comments about the changes that will be happening to the site feel free to email me at bsweichsel (at) mac.com or DM or @ me on twitter under @bsweichsel
