0:05 Hello, everyone. Welcome to the creation podcast, the show where we discuss the science that confirms scripture. I'm your host, Trey. And today, I actually have with me 2 other podcast people. I have Ivana and0:17 Michael. Thank you all so much for being here.0:19 Hey Trey. Here.0:21 Salutations. Yes. We actually have no scientists up here for this. Yes. I guess we could call it a special episode. This special Christmas episode. I mean, we are all part0:33 of the digital media team. You are the director of digital media, the digital media specialist, and I'm, of course, the content developer. And, I mean, we're gonna look behind the curtain a little bit, talk about0:44 our journey here, see where we've come from, where we're headed, and some other funny things, I guess. So, let's0:56 begin.0:57 Okay.0:57 Any do y'all wanna say anything before we get started?1:00 Merry Christmas.1:01 Merry Christmas.1:03 Merry Christmas.1:03 Things look different around here. You're watching.1:06 Yeah. I don't normally wear1:07 red tie.1:11 For those listening audio only, we do have a dinosaur dressed in a Santa hat and a Christmas tree.1:16 Doctor. Clary loves our velociraptor. This is in fact a velociraptor. We're a replica of1:22 a velociraptor.1:22 It is an actual1:23 couldn't afford to get the real Hopefully. Alright.1:27 We'll we'll talk to doctor g about that. See if we can get that approved. Alright. So we've been doing this, I guess, for a little more than a year now. Seems like longer than that sometimes. Seems like shorter than that1:38 at other times. But let's take a look back over the last year, think about some of our favorite experiences, some of our favorite episodes. You know, the the Creation Podcast, but1:50 also just in the digital media team as as a whole, I guess.1:54 Yeah. I mean, we've done a lot of different things. The creation podcast did exist, but we've obviously done a whole new thing with it. So that's been really exciting. I love that I2:06 got to be a part of that in the team. So there's a lot of new things that we've tried that I think as we go, know, certain things work. Certain things we have ideas of how to improve them. But2:18 for me, some of my favorite episodes I would say would be, there's some where I hosted about the cell with Doctor. Tompkins and also the 22:30 CET episodes with Doctor. G. I really enjoyed those. Maybe that's because I hosted them. Really got to it feels like you have that discussion with the scientists. But I like a couple2:41 others. Would say some some of my favorite would be the complex systems that defy evolution. I thought that was a really good episode just explaining, like,2:54 why why is there a compelling argument, about the way we look at these functions and features in our bodies or in other organisms? But other episodes, like with the ice age, with3:05 fossils, just some really good arguments in these quick episodes so that people can hear it3:13 Mhmm.3:13 As well as share it with others. So there's a lot of favorites. It's kind of hard to narrow it down. But I think it's been great as we've just gone and covered so many different topics.3:23 Yeah. I agree. CET was gonna be my 1 of mine that I was gonna mention. 1 and 2. There are 2 parts. And 1 of my favorite things we've done on the show is that we've added the video component.3:35 And it used to just be audio only. We started back in, I think, 20 18. But really with this year, this last year, we've added regularity and frequency that people can predict. And I love that predictability that I know3:47 when it's gonna happen. I can tune in. And because it's video, we want more subscribers on YouTube. So, you can watch us talking and not just hear us. While you're commuting, I suggest maybe don't watch us. Right.3:59 You can also listen Right. Yeah. Maybe. But, read the owner's manual first. Sign up sign the waivers, whatever. But in terms of favorite episodes, I'm more4:11 on the production side of it. So I'm not sitting up here with y'all as much, but seeing y'all as hosts, the CET 1 and 2 were my that was my top favorite episodes, including the more recent episode4:22 32 as Distant Starlight. That's a question we hear about all the time, I think on social media, at events. How do we solve that problem? How do we answer that? And so having us explain that4:34 to people I think is very helpful. And then going back to the beginning of this year's programming, the relevance. Why do we even do what we do? Why is creation science important? So I4:46 think those are my favorites. Yeah.4:50 Nice. What about you, Troy? Do have some favorite episodes?4:52 Yes. Like you, every single 1 that I've hosted, those are my favorites.4:57 No. I'm just kidding.4:59 I'm just kidding. No. I would say honestly 1 of my favorites and and there's I I did host this 1 but that's beside the point. My I think my favorite was the ice age 1 with doctor5:10 Hubert.5:11 Yeah.5:11 Part of why it was my favorite was because we all know doctor Hubert is very very passionate about the ice age and about tearing apart the Milankovitch theory in And and I loved this episode5:23 because we were drawing it to a close. So it's it's been running about 20 minutes or so. And and he says, actually can I say 1 more thing? And I'm like, sure. Yeah. I figured he would just, you know,5:35 give like a little brief tidbit. And then he immediately like went into tearing the Milankovitch theory apart, which is great. I've I've seen him do it a dozen times and it and it's great every time. But that5:47 just a little bit took up another like 50 percent of the episode. So, it's it's always great when the scientists get like really passionate about it and they just, you know, when they're not they're not5:59 like talking from a script or anything. They're just they're just going on about what they know and what they believe and and, yeah. I I'd say that one's my favorite. Also really like, I6:11 would say, some of the ones with Doctor. Galooza. You know, I I've I've known, I I've worked here for a while and, I know most of the scientists at least reasonably well. But, getting to hear Doctor.6:23 G talk about his craft more personally, you know, from from the biology point of view has just been really he really knows his stuff. And so that's been eye opening and just a a joy.6:36 You mentioned the video component. Let's go back to that for a second. Yeah. Because before we had a great design for a logo and we would share each episode whenever we would post that. But now with the video6:47 component, we have custom thumbnails featuring our hosts and the subject matter. And so I just wanted to share a few of my favorites and why. Surprise.6:56 Okay.6:58 In no particular order, Ivana, Mount Saint Helens, Washington's violent explosive something or other volcano episode 23. It's like you were there.7:09 It felt like it.7:10 Where did the sun come from? Episode 25, Trey, I hope your sunglasses were polarized and you had your high SPF on. No.7:18 I SPF directly7:20 Don't do this. Don't try this at home.7:23 No. The damage done to my eyes filming or taking that picture was monumental.7:29 It's amazing that we got you out there.7:31 Yeah. It's so close.7:33 We're gonna call in a special favor from Colonel Williams.7:39 Another favorite, episode 28, I believe about fossils. Is this Trey again? Mhmm. The pose. People, go watch. Go look. The pose of that thumbnail.7:49 Is that the 1 where I'm I'm holding Yes. And I'm like, I don't yeah. That was good. That was great.7:54 I know what you're posing for, but it was good.7:55 I think I was told look intense, and I was like, okay. And that's8:00 That works.8:01 That's just what my body did.8:02 So Episode 31. I think all these were traits except that 1 for you. Left Lauren out too, not on purpose. Episode 31, Useless Organs. It was about vestigial organs. Oh8:13 my gosh. Yeah.8:14 You look like you were in a lot of pain.8:17 We said burst that appendix. And he8:20 had it on command.8:20 I'm a a method model.8:23 He said again for it.8:25 Had to burst my appendix just to take that picture.8:27 Yeah. And then they8:28 rushed me to the ER.8:29 Yes. And the caption that went with that later was, no trust me Trey is fine. Something like Yeah. He's really okay. That's good stuff. Those are my favorite thumbnails. It has nothing to do8:38 with the8:38 That's great.8:39 Think that's great. Yeah. That's for sure.8:41 I love it. And of course, we'll add those on screen. So Mhmm. If you are listening to just the audio version8:48 You have to subscribe to our YouTube channel.8:49 Now go subscribe to8:50 our YouTube channel. It's free. If you hear subscribe and you think I'm not paying another No, it's free.8:57 Yeah. Alright. So episodes aside and and and the creation podcast aside, what are some of your just, I guess, favorite things that happened this year in regard to the digital media?9:08 I have to think about that. So I'll pass it to Michael.9:11 And I pass it right back. No. I think this has been a fantastic year. This was our first full year as a new department. Mhmm. And we all took that adventure in full stride and9:23 joined together really quickly, bonded. I think that was amazing just to see us come from different departments and outside the organization. People not on camera, people you're not getting to see right now. James,9:34 Clint, Jim, Alister, and others who volunteered and helped us along the way with the the various podcasts we do too. We're all very thankful and appreciative for their work. And so I9:46 think having us bond as a team and, adding new people to the team even throughout this year has been just fantastic. It allows us to do this work. Mhmm. Because if it was just left to the 3 of us, y'all wouldn't be9:57 watching this show right now.9:59 Well, we could like They still make camcorders? Yeah. Maybe we could10:03 I mean, we could just use an iPhone or something.10:05 Selfie to that.10:06 Don't know. I'm an Android. What can I say?10:08 We wouldn't Google Pixel. Poof.10:11 That's funny.10:11 Now, it's Yeah. It's hard to, like, pick 1 thing or maybe even 2. But I would say the same thing of, I know that there's there's so much more we can do.10:24 There's so many ideas that we have or even our audience, you know, they've, put in different comments or if we got emails about different things. So obviously, there's so many ways things can go. But10:35 I think it is really encouraging to see that we just jumped right on this and we're trying and we're going and we're experimenting. I think along the way we've got not just new equipment to10:47 start with, but as we were going, you know, making those constant improvements, you know, using our technical CET. Know, can you apply CET to life? Yes.10:59 We are just adapting.11:00 We're like human engineers.11:02 Yeah. So11:04 I think it's it's been interesting to see how we've just tried to to meet this need, because it's so relevant, obviously, to do podcasts, to do digital media, whether it's films or even11:16 being present on social media. So I think all of that, it's been interesting to see how we've just had to go for it. And obviously, we're still going, and we're gonna keep growing in what we do and11:28 try new things.11:29 Yeah. I just I can't wait for us to do these podcasts completely virtually inside the metaverse with Mark Zuckerberg. That'll be great. Holograms. As holograms.11:42 I don't know about that. I'm not here for that. Alright. So thank you guys Mhmm. For sharing your thoughts. Thank you. It's it's it's been a blast working with you all over the past year.11:55 Now that we've talked about some of the the good, maybe we so we had an idea. The team came together very quickly and a lot was of expect a lot12:06 was expected of us pretty quickly. And so we had to turn some things around on a timeline. We'll just say that. A short timeline. A very short timeline. Yes. Yeah. I mean I12:18 guess that is a relevant point. So, yeah. We had to turn some things around on a short timeline. Not everything went perfectly. Let's let's let's talk a little bit about that.12:30 We have a lot of talent, but in practice things can be a little more difficult.12:37 How do we unpack this? Is he looking at12:39 you? Alright.12:40 So, Ivana's in the hot seat.12:43 Uh-huh. What went wrong? Ouch. Where? Just in general.12:50 Yes. Yeah.12:51 Oh my goodness. Well, it's it's but it's it's kind of funny, you know. You look back and you're like, oh wow. That happened or whatever. So, I mean, we've had to take breaks, right, as you're filming. I kind of13:03 wish we did more bloopers, but maybe we're not gonna add that in yet. Yeah. Depends. Yeah. If you guys leave enough comments entire podcast is blooper. So there's times, you know,13:14 like, you you get all choked up when you're saying Not because it's emotional, just because biological systems are failing in the moment. So, know, there's just funny things like that. We we13:26 joke about random sounds, whether it's the ceiling suddenly wants to cave in or at least sounds like it does.13:32 Or the rats.13:33 Oh, yeah.13:34 The cave13:34 Is it rats?13:35 Yeah. The ceiling rats. We don't have those.13:36 We don't know what it is. No. So just different things like that have been, you know, kind of funny. I don't know if it's always funny in the moment, but13:45 It's funny13:47 now. Or just finding out later if a mic wasn't turned on. Like, some of our technical staff, they they feel that. They when things go weird or lights shut off randomly. So13:59 that's been fun.14:00 Checking them now.14:01 When you you have an expectation. Oh, we're just, you know, we're gonna get in there. We're gonna do it. And then something random happens. So that's awesome. Yeah.14:10 Michael, you have any thoughts?14:12 Goodness. I think I've like just filed it all away and then the special file.14:18 The special file. I14:20 think it's actually been really great though. Mean even those those speed bumps, we've overcome them. So I don't know if I have anything to add. Some of that was a surprise about the biological14:30 system Yeah.14:33 Covered really well.14:35 I mean, okay, so for me there's 2 things in particular that I wanted to mention. I listen to some of the so we batch film for everyone at home. We batch film. We14:46 don't sit there and we film it live and then we immediately ship it out the next day. Mhmm. We film a lot of podcasts over the course of like 2 weeks. And I listened to some of those14:58 first ones that I filmed and I just said But I said so many times.15:06 The verbal tics.15:06 The verbal tics. And like it's something that you don't recognize you're doing and then you listen to it and you're like, oh my gosh.15:12 But the commenters recognize.15:14 Yeah. They do. So we're sorry. Yes. Sorry for the couple of commenters who are like, you sure do say a lot. You're right. I'm working it. I'm working on it.15:23 But it is tricky. To plead our case, although I don't want to say let's always say or whatever the word might be or phrase. But15:35 when you are being recorded and you feel like you have to say it in 1 take, but also I'm I'm comfortable. I'm relaxed. What what did I wanna say next? So I think that's where the verbal15:47 tics start finding their way in. So it's just a a reflection of us being human. But we're working on it.15:55 Right. I say because if I didn't I would just give this dead stare and everyone would think like is he alright? You would16:01 So we prefer you16:02 say We prefer the ums.16:04 Then that happens.16:04 The other thing that really makes me laugh is again, some of the first episodes that we filmed. Our team, not just, well, I wasn't16:16 there, but we had the expedition where a lot of the scientists and our our main videographer Clint and a lot of other people and Michael you were there as well. Went to an expedition16:28 all across America, all over the place. When y'all got back I said, now I'm gonna notice it. And I'm gonna point it out every time I say it on this podcast. Yes. Yep. Yep.16:41 Yep. So the expedition, when we got back, the slider, that our 1 of our cameras is sitting on Yes. We were filming some episodes of the podcast and we're like sitting16:53 there and then all of sudden you're16:57 So sorry if you're listening at loud volumes.16:59 Yeah. Turns down now.17:01 But it would sorry, headphone users. It would only happen every once in a while and we're like, what is that?17:06 What about that?17:07 And so we we would like mess with it and and Clint and James would would mess with it and try to figure out what's going on. We're like, oh, okay. Think it's fixed. And then finally for a couple of episodes17:19 yeah. For a couple episodes, we just turned the slider off because we didn't know what it was. And it turned out, I think it was like a single grain of sand. They found a single grain of sand in like the gear mechanism.17:30 Somehow that sounds biblical.17:32 Yeah. Right. I feel like that17:33 The Lord knows you. How many are on this planet. Right. And 1 of them was in that slide. That's right. Right there. Yeah.17:40 Right there.17:41 Thank you guys for your work. And,17:44 yeah, we brought that grain of sand all the way from Yeah. Wherever Yellowstone. Oh,17:51 yes. We're making that grain and we have it in a very17:53 special seeing if it'll grow anything.17:57 No. We don't I don't know.17:57 We have a bottle for tears, and then a bottle for the 1 grain of sand.18:00 The 1 grain18:01 of sand. I just want18:01 Yeah. I don't think we18:03 have it.18:03 No. Probably got18:05 the wrong That's a good 1. Thank you for bringing that up.18:07 Yeah. Remember that because It18:08 was very distracting.18:09 Because as someone who rough cuts a lot of these episodes, I I just heard it So, I was like, oh yeah.18:17 That's That was episode.18:19 Yeah. That was the living. So now to the part of the show. This is fun. I'm excited for this and we might get a little bit of flack for it, but I'm excited for You know what? If we18:30 can't laugh at ourselves Nice.18:32 You know.18:33 Then They will. Then they will. They will.18:37 But we love our audience. Yes. Even though there's a lot of people who don't agree with us, we let their comments exist,18:49 or we interact with them, or if they have a question, then we interact. And if they don't, we don't really censor negativity either. So, love our supporters, and we welcome the19:00 skeptics and maybe the non supporters as well. Let's just I just wanted to preface.19:05 And then there are some who support us halfway in in in some areas.19:10 And We welcome all comments. Yeah. Yeah. Reason. Within reason. We want you We have some guidelines.19:16 Please don't curse at us. Yes. But other than that, you know. Okay. So this segment is called most interesting comments. So we have a comment and it says this19:28 1, it's not the comment that's the funny part. It's the reply to the comment. Yeah. Someone said creation science is an oxymoron. And the reply, our most stalwart defenderShow more
