Big Podcast Playbook - Grow Your Podcast. Build Your Audience.

There's a report, or survey, or some other "lies, damn lies, and statistics" thing making its way around podcasting circles that talks about how "podcast hosts" make less money than anybody in podcasting. And that's probably true, when you consider how most podcasts are hobbies and most "podcasters" don't put a lot of time into them.

But it's not true for podcast hosts who understand that we're more than just technicians.

I have a cheap "mobile phone" podcast setup that's great for when I'm on the road. The only downside is my mobile mic of choice, a Shure SM58 knockoff by GLS, has a plosive problem.

Maybe it's me. I'm used to broadcast mics like the BP40 and RE20 and am probably too close.

Or maybe it's that the gain on my mobile setup is jacked. Or jacked plus one – there's not a lot of subtlety to it.

Regardless, I was excited to find out about the Popper Blocker, an internal "pop filter" that fits ball-style mics like the GLS 58, I ordered one.

This episode is my "unboxing" and initial review.

Gay Pride hit Nashville this weekend. Aside from the usual "street preachers" who protest everything that comes to town (even Billy Graham), everybody seemed to have a great time and didn't think a thing about it.

That wasn't always the case. Just a few years ago, events like this were a lot more controversial. 

As a podcaster, you can help change culture. And like a Pride parade, you can also let people know they're not alone.
