I'm wondering if I'm doing the thing Howard Stern did when he started out on the radio and he sounded "weird." That's probably cope on my part. lol

Bryan Kristopowitz @bmoviebryan1140.bsky.social · 14d

I got myself a microphone so I can participate in podcasts etc. to promote my book. Tried the microphone out tonight and did the thing where you, after you hear yourself, you then ask, "Do I really sound like that?" Because, my God, I have no bass in my voice and I sound like I'm 15.

That event in Virginia today is yet another example of one of the mottos I live by: No matter how dumb you think things are, I can assure you that the reality is things are actually even dumber than that.

Congrats to longtime 411 colleague @bmoviebryan1140.bsky.social on releasing his first book! Bryan is one of the most passionate B-movies fans I've ever had the pleasure of reading (to say nothing of editing), which makes him a natural for a book like this.
