Upcoming Endless Road Podcast episodes will introduce new podcasters and podcasts in our 2021 New Podcasts Showcase. We'll have shownotes with links to all the new podcasts.

The Plan was to record and publish this new episode on International Podcast Day 2021 - September 30. But a situation came up that had to be addressed that day. Nighttime brought a chance to record part of this episode before Midnight local time. Looking at the clock I see it's still September 30 on the United States West Coast, so I still have time to publish this International Podcast Day 2021 episode on the day itself. Enjoy our first episode in 7 years! We'll be back soon, really.

At Franciscan University of Steubenville we met another new podcaster, Peter Burke, who's going to get us thinking about events, cultures, and more. (3:33)

Production note: This episode was recorded to demonstrate recording with AGC (Automatic Gain Control) turned on. I hope you'll hear why it's not a good idea to use AGC when recording.

When AGC is turned off, the recording app Bossjock Studio is an excellent recording tool. I frequently use it with my iPhone.

We're making a stop at Franciscan University of Steubenville's Fall 2014 Podcasting Class to meet some of the new podcasters and get a sneak peek at their upcoming podcasts. I can't wait to hear them! (14:42)

My Plan: Grade student projects and Exams in the quiet of home. The Reality: Not so quiet. Whose idea is this?

Update: Kudos to Columbia Gas! Their team did great work.

From a full recording studio to a "studio in my hand" - That's what technology brings us. Meet Mikey by Blue. (3:03)

Traveling often brings the potential for experiences and unforgettable memories years later. Sometimes they're good, sometimes not so much. Jacob Popcak was a sleepy traveler in for a big surprise. (4:35)

I'm celebrating good news I received this morning - but felt somewhat guilty about celebrating, considering great difficulties some of my dear friends face. But shouldn't we remember and celebrate with our friends the good moments in their lives? Shouldn't we celebrate life itself? (8:05)
