A Channel About Theology And Beer... No, Really!

 

Why hello there! I'm not sure how you came acrross this little corner of the internet, but I'm glad you did. Welcome. My name is Matt and for Four years I've been making videos about Theology and Beer on Youtube.

You might be wondering why I'd pick two seemingly unrelated topics, since when you think of Beer you don't really think about Christianity. Well, years ago when I was pondering doing Youtube as a creative outlet, the phrases "Write About What You Know" and "Focus on a Specific Niche" got used by one of the many Youtube Gurus out there and well, I know about both.

I know about both because I have a degree in Theology and I've worked in the UK Pub Trade for 25 years. I realised that if you got me talking about one of these two subjects you couldn't shut me up, so I figured I'd unleash that knowledge onto the web and here we are 4 years and about 80 videos later.

Increasingly I've felt the need to have something external to my channel to vent out some stuff I've been pondering or indeed to have another place where people can find my channel, and well, here we are. I've been pondering expanding the scope of what Cask Theology is beyond Youtube, or having a place to plonk down my thoughts on things in a longer form format than my Twitter account will allow. There's also stuff that I've thought about discussing that doesn't quite fit into a video but does fit into say, a blog or something.

I've toyed with a few sites such as Wix, Squarespace and so on but If I'm honest, all of them seemed a bit too busy for me. Many, many years ago I blogged about Theology and Gaming, and created a place to view my cartoons, and for that I used this very platform, Blogger. If you're reading this, then I guess I was able to finally settle on a platform I liked.

One day, hopefully in the near future I might be able to turn making silly videos about Theology and Beer into my actual job, but until then I'm still enjoying the process of waffling into a microphone and making something that people might find interesting and spewing out stuff on my keyboard. Thanks for joining me on this odd little journey I'm on. Please feel free to visit my channel on Youtube and take a look, or I dunno.. wait until I finally updtae this thing.

In any case, grab yourself a drink, keep asking questions and I'll hopefully see you soon.
