Pod-Crashing Episode 55: Conversation with Podcast Magazine Creator Steve Olsher
When I first got into podcasting in 2012 the days of being recognized as a communicator weren't bleak but a lot of top dogs in terrestrial radio weren't on board. I saw it as a great place to take radio station clients. It was no longer about purchasing 30 second commercials. Two clients bit into my vision to begin a process of sharing their stories. But I didn't know what I was doing. I was spoiled by the army of people who kept radio together and all I had to do was step up the microphone and do a four hour show. Podcasting came with a different set of expectations. The main being a little thing called where am I going to find listeners? Radio station consultants saw what I was trying to craft but it was always described as being that little thing that Arroe is participating with. Every episode was trial and error. Move the hands of time up to 2020 and now we have Podcast magazine. Not a training magazine for those performing the digital magic but as huge opportunity for podcast listeners to locate quality driven performances. That's another main issue. Listeners don't know where to look. You can leap over to Apple Podcast, iHeart Radio, Google or Podbean but unless you know what to look for most listeners end up sampling a podcast only to be delivered a rotten tomato. The creator of Podcast Magazine is Steve Olsher. His vision is totally organic and self-paced. Everybody seems to want to build a project then quickly capitalize on making a profit. Not so true with Steve. Develop the monthly magazine first by building up the readers. This truly is meant for podcast fans and followers that really get into the likes of Ronan Farrow to Marc Maron, Joe Rogan and countless others still waiting to be located. Steve is offering a brilliant first step to a brand new beginning to offering lifetime members to the magazine. Once inside that's where the connection begins.

The irrepressible former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett announces his 2019 European Tour. Setting off September 12th, 2019, Steve and his band will perform 27 shows in the U.S and Canada.
For the first time ever, Steve will perform the seminal Genesis album Selling England By The Pound in its entirety. Released in 1973, the album went to No. 3 in the UK charts and has been described as ‘the definitive Genesis album.’ It includes fan favorites such as Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fifth, Cinema Show and, of course, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe). Other favorite classic Genesis tracks will also feature in the show.
2019 also marks the 40th anniversary of one of Steve’s most popular solo albums Spectral Mornings and Steve will rightly celebrate this milestone by performing masterpieces from the album.
Fans will also be treated to highlights from Steve’s new album At the Edge of Light, released on Friday,January 25th, 2019.
Steve explains, "I’m thrilled to be performing the whole of my favourite Genesis album, SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND, which caught the attention of John Lennon in 1973. I felt that I was now playing guitar in the world’s best band, and everything was opening up for us… Also I look forward to playing all the favorite songs from SPECTRAL MORNINGS, marking its anniversary, plus new album tasters, as well as additional Genesis gems in a terrific grand slam!"

It was during this time that Steven got his big break and was booked for his first “Tonight Show” appearance on Friday, August 6, 1982. The king of late night enjoyed the performance so much he invited Steven to appear again the following Thursday, a rarity on “The Tonight Show.” His back-to-back appearances helped put his fledgling career into high gear. The comic soon found himself performing his off-beat routines on “Saturday Night Live,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” and numerous trips back to “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.”
Wright expanded his comedy career to include comedy albums, film and television appearances. His 1985 debut album, I Have A Pony, earned him a Grammy nomination. In 1985, Steven starred in his first HBO Special “A Steven Wright Special.” In 1989, Steven was honored with an Academy Award for Best Short Film for his film entitled “The Appointments of Dennis Jennings” in which he starred and co-wrote. Other stars of the film included “Roseanne’s” Laurie Metcalf and British comedian, Rowan Atkinson. In September of 1990, Steven starred in his second stand-up special for HBO called “Wicker Chairs and Gravity.” The special included stand-up from The Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto and a short film shot on location in New York and New Jersey.

A 30 foot tree unexpectedly fell to the forest floor overnight. No wind, storm or dry earth. We can learn a lot from trees. Is there something wrong with the soil below? It doesn't seem to be old. It's limbs are quite healthy. Taking notes for future days when more will tumble to their knees. What do we learn?

We've all heard how one man's trash is another man's treasure. What if the trash being tossed out were your vocalized thoughts? Maybe what we post on social media? What are you throwing away that's becoming another person's treasure?

What would you do if society crumbled? How would you survive if you had to fend for yourself? Would you be able to live off the land? Susy Smith explores these questions and much more in her gripping “Asylum” book series. Finding inspiration from The Walking Dead,

We need to find the faith to trust the path. To stop thinking it should be going a different way. All we're asking is to be shown the way...

When nature plays well with itself and we somehow missed every bit of it. Our daily gifts seem to move around us at speeds our hearts can't keep up with. What we do catch is hidden away and kept for a future day. In reality it's our calling to allow it to move through us. But it was one of those moments and you don't truly see them everyday. But you do. We need to open our eyes and hearts a little more. To recognize the very small things like two deer and a group of squirrels playing together without fear.

Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward.

3 Doors Down front man and celebrated songwriter, Brad Arnold was preparing earlier this year to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the band’s 2000 debut album The Better Life. But with the pandemic putting the band’s plans on hold, Brad used his quarantine time to write and record his first ever solo record “Wicked Man.”
Brad was inspired to write “Wicked Man” about the times we’re currently. Brad sings: “They keep us entertained inside a world before our eyes/A never-ending circus to distract us from their lies.”
That’s Play It Forward. You can listen to the full conversations with these artists on three different podcasts. Like Its Live, Unplugged and Totally Uncut and View from the Writing Instrument found on all digital platforms
