Just Talking Podcast

In an attempt to make up for the tardiness of my most recent editorial I asked my fake boss, Editor in Chief of Talking About Games Larry Marcum to come on my podcast this week. Larry and I talk about the transition to his current role on the site, the difference between an opinion and an opinion worth reading or hearing and what it was like to rub elbows with the heavy hitters of the Video Game industry. Also, Larry is a little obsessed with baseball. Once revealed, that topic required further investigation.

B-19. This week I'm getting my "Gov 2.0" on with some help from David Hale (@lostonroute66). He is a project manager and social media strategist for the National Library of Medicine which means we will be breaking out a lot of buzzwords and acronyms as we discuss how the US Government is starting to leverage social media including the pros and cons of using these various technologies. Other topics include South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW), the Semantic Web, something called "High Speed Highway Halo", and finding the perfect cupcake in Washington D.C.

And just to be clear, the thoughts and comments expressed by David on this podcast do not reflect that of the Department of Health and Human Services or any other government agency. After all, we're Just Talking.

This week I'm joined by The Man, The Myth, The Laugh - JVB. He has been involved in podcasting for over 4 years, making him equal parts ancient and wise sage. When he speaks, you listen. Naturally the majority of our conversation revolves around various aspects of podcasting - from starting a podcast to real life applications of the skills learned through podcasting. We also offer a brief analysis of the current state of rap music and naturally, we talk about his infamous laugh. If you listen closely, a certain Governor of California also makes an appearance too. Enjoy.

The year might be coming to an end, but Just Talking is just getting started. This week I'm joined by Diabetes Blogging Veteran Allison Blass. She has been blogging in some form for nearly 5 years, naturally there's a lot to talk about there. We also get into her big-time move to the Big Apple and what life is like living in New York. There's also mention of a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, writing a book about High School and the fact that yes, there is an App for That.

Nobody said organizing would be this complicated. Luckily I had someone I could call up in the bottom of the ninth to bail me out. This week I'm joined by the host of Talking About Gamers, Robbiejo. Clearly a podcast with two people that love to talk, especially about video games is destined for greatness. Our talk covers a wide range of topics - college football, Michael Bay, Finding Nemo, life as a podcaster and of course, life as a gamer.

I've met a lot of cool people in my short time podcasting on the Post Game Report. The Talking About Games community is a fantastic group of people, be it marathon sessions of Modern Warfare 2 or feedback on how we conduct ourselves on the podcast, the community makes that site go. This week I am joined by a member of Talking About Games - Jimmy Harrison aka AceBlack. Our conversation ranges from the evolution of our Gamertags, contemplating television with a 600Hz refresh rate , a comparison of Boxing to UFC and much, much more.

I'm going back to my relatively short podcasting roots this week. Alfred, or GHR_Maverick as he is known throughout the rest of the Internet joins me for a lengthy and thoughtful episode. We talk about his website, GamerHusbands.com and all that is involved with organizing a community and a podcast week after week. We talk about living with Diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2. And we even talk about Twilight. Honestly there isn't enough space to describe all that we cover, you'll just have to listen and enjoy.

With American Diabetes Month coming to and end, I'm joined this week by Lee Ann Thill (@leeannthill). She has a blog called The Butter Compartment which is pretty sweet. She likes reptiles, also sweet. She is all about Art Therapy, which is Really Sweet. However she is also an Eagles fan...we'll let that one slide for now. Along with those topics we also get into a potential salary cap for the MLB and the power of a firm handshake. We cover a lot in this one, enjoy.

There were a bunch of knowns going into a podcast with Tabatha (@tabulous). I knew we would talk about her personal blog, her home remodeling blog, her affection for fuzzy skulls, and her many pets. What I didn't plan on talking about is something you will have to experience to believe. It's worth it, trust me.
