"Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap. One thing you should know is that all video production [and] radio production is trying to be crap. It’s like the laws of entropy […] Anything that you put on tape, from the moment that you put it on tape, basically is trying to be really bad. It’s trying to be unstructured, it’s trying to be pointless, it’s trying to be boring, it’s trying to be digressive."

Ira Glass

Amen.

If you are not prepared, the result will suck. If you aren’t organized, the result will suck. If you talk out of your ass, the result will suck. If you are “winging it”, the result will suck. If you don’t care enough, the result will suck. And most of the times, even if you do everything right, THE RESULT. WILL. SUCK.
