Ask the Professor

In this episode, the Professor, Jeff Smith, brings "Ask the Professor" to Bethesda, Maryland, just outside of Washington D.C., for the NBS-AERho 2018 National Convention! He talks about podcasting in general, answers questions about the shooting that took place that weekend on CMU's campus, and discusses using Audacity vs. Adobe Audition for your audio editing needs.

In this episode, the students ask how the Professor feels about his colleagues, the closest he's come to being in a barfight, why corned beef hasn't been adopted by fast food, if he's ever been arrested, what he'd be doing if he wasn't teaching, and he offers a tease about where to find some music he's recorded.

In this episode, it's unexpected encounters with deer, why he keeps his ponytail, the worst cheating excuse of all times, and his worst childhood memory.

Professor Smith answers questions about fearing the dark, his favorite white card in Cards Against Humanity, how he feels about Rick and Morty, his favorite Evil Dead film, his familial connection to Evil Dead: The Musical, and how he doesn’t know YouTube well enough to have a favorite YouTube-er. Plus, an ATP first: A student answers a question the professor cannot!

The Professor loses 10 years temporarily, uncomfortably discusses a goat, rates the best Evil Dead film, answers "the ponytail question" again, and discusses how he met his wife of 18 years.

Professor Smith talks about the zombie apocalypse, what animal he'd most like to ride into battle, and what type of film is his guiltiest of guilty pleasure.

Professor Smith talks about the new president and his wall, Jeff's favorite movies, why he likes Marvel over DC (and loves Deadpool), and why he loves Star Wars as well as his take on Rogue One.

In this episode, Jeff answers questions about pop culture (Doctor Who, Star Wars, Hayden Christensen's acting ability), his hair (again), and George Lucas knowing his limits.

In this episode, the students ask Professor Smith about the stupid things he did in his twenties, he lists his top-three favorite movies of all time, he reveals his love of tequila and his immunity to hangovers, and he discusses his take on the "Jar-Jar/Sith Lord" theory as well as talking about Rey's possible parentage!

In this epsiode, Professor Smith talks about his favorite horror films, his personal experiences with voice-acting, the history of the ponytail (his), and his favorite Monty Python films!
