Podcasts – This is the Podcast

We recorded this podcast at the same time as Winter Break Episode 1, because, well, we missed podcasting and had some extra time that night.

We tried to make it a holiday-themed podcast, and kept things pretty on topic of gifts, both good and bad, from our childhood. I’m sure the topic of poop is in there somewhere, though.

So, Jeff and I are back in the Sunshine State for winter break, and decided to do a few special episodes here before we return to the frozen tundra.

We returned to Sixty-Four Fourteen Studios and chatted with Padrick, who was entertaining as always.

The topics ranged from businesses and Black Friday to computers to tonsils to white bread. Don’t bother asking how that happened, you should be used to it by now.

The time has finally come: The days of This Is The Podcast being hosted out of Florida are over.

What is posted here is the last Podcast we recorded while living in the Sunshine State. Meaning, that from now on, we will be recording all of the shows in Ohio, Ashley and I’s new home. Sadly, that means no more Padrick or Ben. But that does mean we will hopefully still be able to entertain you, dear listener.

We’re looking for new guests and trying to get new fans.

So, hey, thanks for listening to Season One – The Florida Sessions.

I hope that this last one is just as good as the others (Even though I know it is not, there were some distractions).

Topics include: Shoes, poop, bathroom surprises and etiquette.

Some things to look forward to for Season Two: A set date of updates. Live Podcasts with call-in ability through Skype. Fun new Ohio topics.

Thanks for listening, and please continue to do so.

We’ve made it all the way to six episodes!

We had our first major scramble when our special guest ran into some things and couldn’t make it. So if it sounds like we are coming up with topics as we go, that’s because we were.

We talked about space, sodas, and, of course, poop. All the important things in life, right?

Consider Episode Five the bonus disk that comes with a new CD – short and to the point, but something extra and special.

Our friend Justine shared some roommate stories, one of which involves peeing in milk. It is equal parts funny and gross.

For your listening pleasure, here is Episode Four:

We had the very lovely Allison in the makeshift studio, which we have named Sixty-Four Fourteen Studios. or 6414 Studios. I have no idea.

We talked a lot about Warped Tour and how hot it was and, as usual, ended up talking about poop. There was some discussion of Y2K, high school lockers and chick flicks in there as well.

Yeah. I have no idea how we progressed from one topic to the next.

Anyway, the next podcast will be on either Sunday or Monday from St. Augustine with Justine, who has a crazy roommate. There are also lots of wonderful things about her, but that is the most entertaining.

Episode Three is now up!

We had special guest Will in the makeshift studio, which was just Pad’s dinner table.

I think this is the most well put-together episode we have done, despite some continuing problems with the mic levels. We’ll figure that out, I promise.

Topics include:

It’s all uphill from here I hope.

Please enjoy:

We had everything set up to record a second episode, thinking everything was working just fine. It turns out that one of our vital cords was fried, and we had to make a quick trip to get another.

But hey, here it is. We’re making progress!

Not only did this one sound a lot better and was a little more cohesive and focused, we managed to get intro and outro music. I don’t think we’re planning on using the same music every time.

Topics discussed:

1) Stereo systems

That is the main series of topic. I am sure there is more, but whatever.

After myriad problems and tons of setbacks, Ashley found the problem: We never compressed the file when we converted it. That is why, when we followed all the directions, it would simply cycle at “buffering” for ages and ages.

However, due to her brilliance, we fixed the problem, and I present to you fine and beautiful listeners This Is The Podcast Episode One.

Warning: This Podcast contains language that you normally won’t hear on the radio, so be prepared before you click play.

Things we talked about:

1) Explaining the Podcast and the problems we ran into.

Also some things to keep in mind: This is the very first Podcast attempt for all of us, so we sometimes repeat some of the things we are saying. And, as I said before, Padrick had to leave in the middle of everything, the second microphone was way too hot without us knowing, Ben’s house-mate came into the living room in the middle of everything so we sort of had to pause a little, and with all the distractions it all sounds really hectic.

I promise that for This Is A Podcast Episode Two, things will get better and we’ll have a much more cohesive show. Don’t let this one fool you.
