Let's start by not spreading misinformation in our podcasts. Since we're recording, there's no reason NOT to stop, look up the facts, and start recording again. And if you DO spread misinformation, own up to it.
The video I reference in the podcast is Doug DeMuro's review of the Mitsubishi Eclipse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgqHq6WjD8s&t=1085s

You don't need to spend 60 bucks on a Monster Cable when a 20 dollar Kirlin cable does just as good of a job. But cable quality DOES matter and today I talk about why.

Watch the documentary Behind the Curve. It's about flat earthers. and it doesn't mock them. This is an important object lesson for us podcasters on how to respect people who believe something we think is insane. Because all of us have our own flat earth we believe in! It could be that we think wearing our lucky socks will cause our favorite sports team to win, that antibiotics will work on a virus, or Walt Disney cryogenically froze himself.

I don't often do gear reviews, but this is one piece of gear that I can't recommend highly enough. 4 mic channels, a bluetooth channel, a phone channel, hot keys, built in effects and processing, an SD card for computerless recording... it's seriously the best piece of podcasting gear to come out in over a decade.

You've probably heard the unending chorus shouting that more people are listening to podcasts than ever. This is true. The side effect is that fewer people are listening to music. This WILL affect podcasts in strange ways, which I talk about in today's episode!
Today's topic came from this excellent Rolling Stone article titled, Are Podcasts Threatening the Growth of the Music Industry?

I wanted to set the Wayback Machine to 2014 to take you to the first podcast I'd ever done! Except that one has a copyright strike against it despite getting permission from the artist himself to use the music. So I'm taking you to the second podcast I've ever done!
I interviewed blues artist Wayne Sharp for the Blues Society of Northwest Florida in this particular episode. Ya see, I used to be their MC and offered to do this podcast as part of my duties. It was a lot of fun and well worth it for those that dug the blues in Pensacola. But duties grew and grew at the radio station and eventually I dropped off from doing it, but I wanted to give you this rare listen into my early days podcasting. Enjoy!
