Call Me Donovan

Tifton Media Works

Donovan was born and raised in the deep South. In the South, you have rednecks, religion, sports, and big trucks. Donovan isn’t and doesn’t relate to any of those things. His background is in technology, and he likes to think of himself as the enemy of ignorance and stupidity. Recently, he decided to get sober… for good. This means much of Call Me Donovan (formerly DDP) will be him discussing that continuous journey with all the ups and downs that go along with it. Become a supporter of this

In this episode, I discuss my budgeting process using my Apple CC including our crazy high power bills. I also discuss using Visible as a cell phone provider, which is much cheaper than being on Verizon (even though Verizon owns them). Oh yeah, groceries. One correction - I said we had to pick my son up from the airport on the 29th but it's actually the 30th which is a Friday.See ya.---Contact Informationemail:don@callmedonovan.comTwitter/Insta/Threads: donadkisson(When played) Music generated by

Since this podcast is supposed to be more personal in nature (sometimes oversharing) I thought I'd try something I was inspired by Scott Johnson to try; not recording on a fancy microphone but keeping it "raw" with walking around talking to my iPhone (and annoying one of our cats, OJ).Let me know what you think. Is this OK or do you prefer the more professional recording for this podcast.---Contact Informationemail:don@callmedonovan.comTwitter/Insta/Threads: donadkissonMusic generated by

Hey, welcome to another episode of Call Me Donovan. I'm your host, Donovan, from Tifton Media Works, recording on June 10th, 2024. This episode is mainly housekeeping and an apology. I recently moved the podcast from Substack to Acast, inspired by other podcasters I follow and the free tier they offer. I had previously used Transistor.fm, which I liked, but it cost $19 a month without a free option.Over the weekend, I realized I preferred Substack despite some quirks.

2024/06/10

In this episode, I celebrate 373 days of being alcohol-free. With it getting closer to summer, the heat reminds me of enjoying cold beer on hot days and whiskey on cold nights, but I'm staying strong in this journey.I've also been dealing with a frustrating computer issue at a client's site that may require a complete reinstall. On a lighter note, I review the latest "Doctor Who" episode, "Dot and Bubble," which I compared to "Black Mirror's" "Nosedive" for its focus on social media addiction. The

The Disneyf*ckation of Doctor Who

2024/05/14

Hey, it's me, celebrating 353 days of being alcohol-free! Thanks for joining in on my journey. But today, I'm doing something different—I'm giving you my take on a TV show, Doctor Who. Now, there's a split in the series, leading to Gatwa's 15th Doctor. Personally, I'm not sold on the split, but hey, it's sci-fi, right? I've been a fan since the '80s, through all the ups and downs. Fast forward to the Disney-funded revival, and we've got bigger budgets and flashy effects, but also a "Disneyf*ckation"

It's day 187 of my sobriety journey, and it's November 29th, almost wrapping up this month. I'm gearing up for December. Remember when I talked about having morning coffee with Donovan?
