Daily Doxa vlogcast is live on YouTube

On youtube I’ve started to record 7 minute videos pretty much every day talking about whatever I am thinking about in relation to rhetoric, argumentation, debate, and everything adjacent to all that.

I’m calling these Daily Doxa videos, or Daily Doxa Vlog – but I am wondering if it is more of a podcast? What’s the distinction between these terms? What do we gain and lose from using one over another?

I think of podcasting as audio only, or audio focused. Any video would just be a bonus or behind the scenes style feature where it’s neat to see everyone talking at the microphones. A vlog is more about visual composition and seeing the person’s life as they move around in it, through it, and whatnot.

I feel like my videos are very low production quality in both ways, but I like the casual chat while walking around. I like how the backgrounds change as I am going wherever I am going in them. It’s honestly very helpful for me to help me think about my own thinking and review what I have been thinking about during the past day before hitting record on the camera.

I feel like posting these is like letting people leaf through my pocket notebook or planner and see all the things I’m jotting down during the day. I kind of like that because the threat, or possibility of publication here – saying all my thoughts out to an audience – requires me to think through my own ideas and throughs as if I were seeing them as another person. To say them I have to make sure I say them in a way that makes sense to whoever might come across them.

This means I get to hear them in a new way as well, which makes me think about them again and differently. Then the cycle has a chance to repeat.

This looks like publication/delivery but this is invention isn’t it?
