Were You Still Talking?

If anyone still cares, I am on a Shure SM 57, and the three girls in the room are on AKG Perception 200's. The troubleshooting I mention was mostly user error and stuff.

Today my guest in the cavernous castle studio is Cameron Lindsey. We talk about everything from GOT spoilers (spoilers here as well), to other entertainment stuff, to Facebook followers, to sports, to journalism, to podcasts like Joe Rogan and Russell Brand (including a short, but terrible impersonation). We also talked about how having zero expectations can make a movie or TV show better.

Cameron recommended the "Pull Up Podcast", "Serial" and we also talked about "S*Town".

Recommended books: Ego is the Enemy and Catch 22.

On this episode my guest is Trena Lindsey. We talk about a wide variety of subjects from working as a nurse at Senior care centers to the history of College Hill in Eugene to favorite places including Hawaii and Palm Springs to the Mystery of life and death itself.

We also talked about exercising the brain specifically using a program called brain HQ brain training: https://www.brainhq.com

In this episode I talk about things like, why I'm I so lazy? What's it take to add video to a podcast? Why do I record to more than one device? (spoiler alert!)

This one is more about the show and about myself. It's like one of those long social media posts that you don't know if you should be reading, but then you realize that it's very interesting stuff and you can't stop and people are loving it. Another words, it gets a little personal. There is a companion video that I sort of got all wrong. Link below.

In this episode we ask questions like: What mic should I use? How long should we talk? Should I use a different accent? And so much more. With me is Erik Veach, owner operator of Crazy Daisy Productions: https://www.crazymastering.com. From the website:

Celebrating 18 years of great sound! Serving bands, artists, studios, labels, and businesses worldwide, with thousands of songs mixed and mastered in every style of music and sound imaginable.

To start the episode we do a bit of a mic comparison and I switch to the different mics as Erik talks. He is using a Shure SM58 and a Blue Baby Bottle. You decide which sounds better. This time around I am trying an AKG D112 normally used as a Kick drum mic. Works for me.

In this episode I talk to Kali Kardas about acting, directing, socail  media, marketing and much more. From here resume:

Digital Marketing Manager with experience increasing ROI by improving email open rates, website traffic, and PPC. Progressed from copywriting and photography/food styling positions into management roles based on creativity, leadership, and analytical skills. Loves building social media strategies and managed digital assets. Comfortable presenting and communicating with C-level executives and conferences.

More can be found at kalikardas.com and Facebook/kalikardas and all the other SM sites.

As we continue with the silliness we talk about things like; Why don't we know how to pronounce English properly, sticky speakers, Rowen Atkinson, Ricky Gervais and so much more. Many thanks to my unnamed friend for helping with all the tech stuff and playing along.

This episode is edited for comfort. Then edited a little more. The main thing I learned is to edit less talk more. Next episode features Kali Kardas.

Still playing around with how this stuff all works. In this episode I talk with my unnamed friend about what to name the show, how to record over the phone, Joe Rogan, and much more.

We reference and I recommend listening to:

Joe Rogan: http://podcasts.joerogan.net/

Russell Brand Under The Skin

Wim Hof: https://www.wimhofmethod.com/

This is where it all starts. Follow along as I figure out how to do a podcast, what mic to use, which end to talk into and what in the world is it going to be about.

The first episodes are also about how to start a podcast and if anyone can do it, even someone who knows nothing about it.
