A very subjective look into AWFC

First of all, I hope you are all having a stellar start of your week, and if you aren’t hang in there and hit me up if you need an ear. Secondly, I understand how annoying it can be to read and hear over and over about a lack of commitment and a lack of decision making from me regarding my YouTube channel. I’ve spoken about why I was thinking about stopping and then I spoke about why I would continue.

The reality is that a YouTube channel for That Arsenal Women Podcast, at this point in my life, is not something that I can do consistently, with the quality of content and production that you guys deserve. It might be that it’s hard to create content during the off season. It might also be that the kind of show, production and everything around the making of these videos is not something I can achieve at the moment and I cannot dedicate my life to it because even the videos I make at the moment, take a lot of time for me. My point is that I feel you deserve much better than what I’m currently able to provide. I’m also working on some things that are not congruent with having a YouTube channel, and this should all make sense in a few month’s time.

I like to embrace the fluid nature of life and in terms of priorities, I thought that it was gonna be the YouTube videos, then the podcast and lastly this blog but I have to tell you that this form right here has become probably my favorite thing. It’s tricky because just writing things loses some context and tone etc and it might sound that I’m being harsher than I am and all of that.

I do not and have never wanted to be a “personality” in the Arsenal Women community. I enjoy going on podcasts and YouTube shows to talk about something I am passionate about but I have never implied nor should I ever be seen as an expert of someone who has inside knowledge. I’m very fortunate to have made friends and be in contact with some incredible people that have as direct access to the club as humanly possible and I promise you I never ask them a thing and if I knew something I would never share. That’s not my vibe and I understand the nature of click bait stuff as it relates to inside info but I’m so not that person.

Another aspect, to be totally open, is that i don’t want to depend on anyone to grow a channel just for the sake of growth. Some of the takes on twitter I see are total insanity to me and the thought that I need X person who tweets some hate against one of our players or former players, to follow me and interact with so that I grow my channel? ummm no, thanks. And for what? I am and will always be a musician and that takes over my entire life all day, every day.

So what I envision is the odd podcast here and there, maybe more focused on the Oranjeleeuwinnen during the World Cup and of course, posting here every single day.

Thank you for being supportive even when I’m unsure of what the hell I’m doing.
