50 is a nice round number and kind of a milestone for a new podcaster. I'm glad that Mike Joseph was willing to chat with me for this episode.  He's a Brooklyn based podcaster and music industry professional.  He does plenty of other things, but those are the topics we covered most in this conversation. Mike is a gentleman that I enjoy listening to and talking to, and I think that you'll agree with me after you hear this conversation.  What did his childhood smell like? Why is open acknowledgement of mental health issues important to him?  What's the difference between "Hi. How are you" and "Hi, how are you"?  Listen and find out.
