Our host presents first-hand user stories from a half dozen different guests that he has talked to on episodes of his “Now Hear This Entertainment” podcast.  Listen as men and women from across the U.S. talk about which TASCAM products have been a part of their music career as taken from on-location as well as studio interviews.  This compilation includes a variety of musicians and genres, and even a story about a rock and roll legend!

Johnny Mota writes for rAVe [Publications] as a member of the BlogSquad and is the host of AV Insider of rAVe RADIO. Plus he co-hosts The Trade Show Minute.  And, in the Capture Your Art context, he is a TASCAM user. Listen as he talks about which TASCAM hardware he uses as well as the various environments he's working in and the industry events where you might see him.

Scott Gurian is an award-winning journalist based in the northeast of the U.S. He is also a podcaster and he is a TASCAM user. On this episode he talks about the international travel he is doing and how the TASCAM DR-40 recorder is helping him document his journeys. He also reflects on where audio recording has come from since his early days just starting out and he describes painting a mental picture for listeners in the absence of video or even still photos. Plus he shares thoughts on circumstances where he needs to be discreet about his recording.

A conversation with Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, who got his start in music at age 15 and talks about his long history with TASCAM gear, including how he began using the equipment.  Plus, he addresses the changes in technology that include analog to digital and how that has affected him as an artist as well as just as a music consumer.  Originally gaining international popularity as a member of the band The Misfits, he has his own band, simply called Doyle, as well as his own record label.  He also talks about the extensive touring he's doing.  As this interview was done at the Winter 2018 NAMM Show, he also talks about the time he was spending at that event.

Veteran audio engineer Jim Stern talks at the 2018 Winter NAMM Show about his early years, some of the different environments he has worked in, some of the different techniques that he employs, plus some talk about some of the specific TASCAM products that he uses.

On-site at the 2018 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, our host did a sort of "walking tour" of the event, recording his observations of the massive annual tradeshow gathering at the convention center. Go inside the event with him and hear what he saw over the four days there.

As an introduction to launch the show, a narrative is given by the host of what this podcast is, why we're doing it, what to expect, what NOT to expect, who the host is, and where TEAC and TASCAM are currently relative to being on-site at events.  There is also a rundown of what equipment is being used by the host and some foreshadowing of episodes to come.
