Yesterday’s post on CONELRAD is a perfect example of a deep dive, which according to the Online Slang Dictionary is “an in-depth exploration.” Probably not what you expected during the A to Z Challenge, but I’m just full of surprises.
I think everyone has topics that they really want to get into. Mine are baseball, music, broadcast history, and probably a few others which I can’t think of right now. How about you? What are the topics you want to make a deep dive into?
I just looked at Conelrad. Will come back later to read the whole thing. Topics I love to deep dive into and have include music, travel, dogs, and history. Cheers!

Thanks for stopping by! Yes, CONELRAD is an interesting side note in broadcast history. I think you’ve talked about all of your deep dive topics on your blog. Wasn’t your theme last year dogs?
Well, you can predict I deep dive into film, actors…anything having to do with the movies. I also would deep dive into art, animals, travel, true crime, dreams, fairy tales, my mom.
Public transportation, local history, and popular music.
I grew up in Chicago, which had a pretty amazing public transit system. Since I no longer live there, I find it even more amazing.
Deep diving into scrapbooking techniques and making money the creative way!
“Making money the creative way” probably leaves out printing it in the basement, huh?
LOL, John, didn’t even think about it that way! I have some ink and some specialty paper, humm…..
Funny, all I can think of right now is the fact that I don’t want to dive into the history of the Romanov family, but – as it is the topic of my book club this month – I guess I will tread water with it. I would like to dive into the ocean, but that’s not quite what you mean.
It’s a little dry, but now that I have read over 100 pages it is getting easier to read.
So is there a specific word for the topic you are using for this AtoZ? It looks like you are using words that start and end with one letter difference. AB, BC, CD etc.
Potential Deep Dives for me (ones I want to get more into but haven’t) are Astronomy and Architecture.
One day, I will have more free time, I’m sure. Which is probably when I’ll spend more time on those past-times.
You got it, Jeffrey. Tomorrow’s word starts with E and ends with F, Friday’s starts with F and ends with G, and so on and so forth and scooby-dooby-dooby… Now, not all the words are actually words….
I try and deep dive into a lot of things that i am obsessed with currently!
And what are you obsessed with currently? Just curious.
I’d like to take a deep dive right now just to escape clients for the rest of the day. Where’s Frain? Dunno, he took a deep dive a couple hours ago and hasn’t surfaced yet.
Unless, they read these comments, in which case I love every one of them and I wasn’t talking about you to begin with. Whew!
And here I was all ready to be educated again to day! I even read your Conelrad post to his lordship over supper last night. He found it as interesting as I did!
There will be other educational opportunities, I promise. Glad you and he liked the CONELRAD article. It’s interesting going back to things that scared you as a kid and learning more about them.
And it shows, Maryann. You write some excellent articles about both.
It’s like reading a nonfiction book: not all of it is critical to understanding the subject, so it’s best not to spend a lot of time on it.
John, I’m sorry for not getting back before now but you know how that goes in April. lol Things I deep dive into are mewsic (like you didn’t know – lol), photography (naturally), and since coming up with my theme for this challenge…sketching! Now, I need to back track to catch your previous post or two. 🙂 Thanks for visiting A2Z Art Sketching Through the Alphabet Letter “D” for “dogs” post and I hope you’ll drop by for my next alpha-prompt, letter “E” for (elephant, eagle, elk!
this could be my life’s ambition – deep dive into topics.. there was a time I wanted to be a research scientist 🙂 before, real life happened!
When I get into a topic that intrigues me I will often deep dive to find as much as I can. Google and YouTube have provided opportunities that I never had in the past. Don’t even have to leave my house to get totally immersed in something that I used to go to libraries and such to get more information–or more commonly, not find out anything more and just remain in the dark.
You find the most interesting things on the Internet, and on YouTube specifically. Done right, you can get a better education there than in any classroom.
An interesting set of choices!
