The below post is taken from the Video Blog, the Subject Matter Minute. If it’s a little hard to read, it’s because it’s taken from the spoken word. You can view the episode on YouTube if you would like. Find it here: Episode #28 -Important Tidbits/Nothing In Particular
If YouTube is blocked for you or your agency, you can scroll to the bottom of this post to view it from Google Drive. (I would prefer you view in YouTube, so I know how many people have watched)
You can also listen to an audio version.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Subject Matter Minute, I’m Matt Nagy, thanks for tuning in! That’s a funny expression, right? Tuning in… Do you remember when you actually had to “tune in” tv stations? The little knob around the channel knob?? Wow… that was a long time ago. 🙂
But, I digress…
Today’s episode is about Nothing! (nothing in particular graphic)
Today is going to be a break from the usual topic driven show. I thought it was time to do a bit of a wrap up of what we have done on the show as well as cover some odds and ends related the mechanics of finding the appropriate episode when you need it and other details of youtube, the blog, and more.
Hope that’s ok. If you couldn’t care less, then git! I won’t be offended.
First of all, before we get started with that… I wanted to see if I could find a couple fans of the show that I briefly met at the Norah Jones concert in mid July. A couple really friendly ladies that said they really like the show and that they were excited to meet me. Made me blush a little. The concert was about to start, so I immediately forgot your names. Very sorry about that. But, you had a friend take a photo, and I would really like a copy if that is at all possible, so please send me one! My email address is right here: matthew.nagy@wyo.gov. Please send me a copy… if you haven’t deleted it already, that is. 🙂
Ok… as far as recapping what we have done with the show… I think the show has been a success. I think we have covered topics that are important to us all, generally without too many mistakes? I don’t really get any haters, and for that I thank you all. While I fancy myself as someone who can handle criticism, I’m not sure about the kind you often see on youtube. So, thanks for being such wonderfully nice folks.
This is a good time to show you how you can go back to see what we have covered. Perhaps the easiest way, short of having a bookmark directly to the playlist, is to simply search for “subject matter minute” within youtube. That will allow you to find the playlist easily.
This is what a playlist looks like. If you click on it, it will open the very first video. The one that started it all. This was on longevity pay, a benefit that I didn’t even know existed. One that I was benefitting from at that time already. Well, once you are here, you can scroll through all of the episodes over here.
It seems that the most popular episode to date is the Full Benefit Package episode. Episode 12. I’ve actually had folks from out of state that were considering state employment thank me for having that video.
One final thing on YouTube…. If you haven’t already, you can subscribe to my channel by clicking the big red “subscribe” button. This will allow you to see new videos within your own channel, in the subscription area. If you have notifications turned on, it will also alert you that way. You do that by going into Manage from the Subscriptions area. Then click the little bell.
Ok, I’ve shown you the playlist, did you even know that there is both a written blog and an audio version? I know that I put those links in the emails that go out, but I’m sure a ton of people just click on the video without reading my lame attempts at humor. Right?
So, the blog is here: http://wyomingtraining.com/subject-matter-minute-blog/
You will find both all of the episodes in written form, and all of them in audio form. You can see the audio files along the right hand side.
Ok? So, if you have problems with YouTube, or your internet connection or you simply prefer to read, you can go here. I will put this link is in the show notes below the video. One final thing on the blog, if you or someone you know is blocked from YouTube, you can scroll to the bottom of each written blog and watch the video from Google drive.
We’ve had 28 episodes at this point… really 27, because one was a bloopers show, but that’s a lot of topics! Last month I covered a topic that one of you guys suggested, and I will be doing that next month too. I would love to hear from you about topics you think I should cover. All that I ask is that the topics are relevant to the entire state. Not just your agency.
Ok, I think that is enough odds and ends for today. Hopefully I didn’t put you to sleep? Well, that’s the beauty of content delivered this way… you can shut me up by shutting me off!
Oh! Before I go… you may have noticed the new digs? I dug myself out of the basement and I now have a much better view, as well as better lighting, a more stable temperature. I was always a bit cold in the basement. I hope this works for ya. I’m not a very creative decorator, so …. This will have to do.
Thanks for joining me on the Subject Matter Minute!
