Welcome everybody back to Spooky Island Radio , the podcast as it's known at the moment . Yeah , you might have seen from the title of this that it's probably not the best little episode I'm going to be putting out , but it's just a bit to sort of go through . Yes , I am stopping the podcast . I have some reasons why which I'll go through in a second .
So if you want to hear those , then obviously stick around . But it's going to be a pretty short little clip here . I'm not stopping Spooky Island Radio because I really enjoy it . It's just I'm going to change the format a bit . So hopefully you guys will want to stick with it . But basically I'm coming to the end of my nursing degree .
That'll be happening in sort of January , february time , hopefully . So I'll have a lot more time and a lot more effort and a bit more money to put in to sort of trying to make this a thing . So , yeah , so , yeah .
So I think I'm going to stop the podcast and come spring time of next year I'll be sort of creating a bit of a YouTube channel , still be called Spooky Island Radio , just a different format . I just know people who are doing YouTube at the moment and sort of to me it's never really been an option .
I know people who are doing YouTube at the moment and so to me it's never really been an option . I've never really thought of it as an option . But speaking to people who are making a go of it or trying to make a go of it , I think what the difference is . It seems like they are able to create a bit more of a community .
I mean , mean , this is a one-man band , it's literally me . Um , it'd be different if I was on the podcast with someone else . We were talking , and it's a bit more of a conversation . I might feel like I'm getting a bit more out of it .
You know like , but at the moment it's just I'm putting out episodes and they're sort of just it's me obviously doing the research , doing everything , editing , um , and I put it out , put an episode out , and it's just out there in the world . You know , and from what I've seen from YouTube is that you can sort of people are a bit more interactive .
You know , it's like it's more accessible to watch a video and then write a comment underneath and then I can comment back and then someone might share it and someone else can comment . And if I think it's just going to be a bit more that .
I feel not that I'm getting more out of it than the podcast , because I love I do love doing the podcast and I hope you all enjoy listening to it just as much as I enjoy making it . But yeah , I just think I'm not getting my heart isn't in it anymore and and I think I sort of would feel a bit better doing a sort of YouTube video .
I'm sorry if I'm stopping and starting , but I'm literally just I've not even got any notes or anything . I'm just putting my thoughts out . I'm releasing this and , yeah , I mean , I just want to say thank you to everybody that's listened to the podcast , who's spoken to me , who's messaged me , who sent me an email , who's spoken to me on instagram or whatever .
You know , um , I appreciate it . All the friends , all the all of the uh channels I've met along the way . You know jason , pardon , untold olivia and lauren from is this place haunted ? Uh , michelle from um a paranormal state of mind podcast that was quite a while away back . She's not doing that one anymore .
And um , yeah , you know claire , obviously from don't scare claire . Um , oh , and how could I forget aj and um , aaron and jamie . How the fuck did I forget that ? It's because I said aj , not aaron , um , from , from , from the from the word ghost podcast , um , and they've just started releasing videos on youtube as well .
Um , so , all those people I mentioned , thank you for sort of speaking to me , helping this journey , um , you know , be what it is today . And thank you to everyone who's listened to an episode , downloaded an episode , shared an episode . I really appreciate it . Don't think I don't , because I really do .
I just think it's evolved now to a point where it's time for the video format of it . So I will be coming back , like I say , with a YouTube channel in spring .
It will still be called spooky on radio , um , and it'll be sort of videos , still sort of in the same sort of format , still going to be going into misinformer one cases , spooky places all around the world , um , ghost stories surrounding them and all that you know . So I am going away just for a little bit . I hope you all appreciate that .
I know I've only just basically come back , but I think , since I've come back , I realised actually I think video is the way forward for me , just so I feel like , you know , I get a bit more out of it , bit more people interaction . But , yeah , thank you everyone who's listened since Haunted Hangover podcast me and Shauna . Thank you to everyone who shared it .
Thank you everyone who's listened since a haunted hangover podcast me and Shauna . Thank you to everyone who shared it . Thank you to everyone who's listened and for the last time on the podcast , that's Andy from spooky radio signing out over and out .
