I always miss our engineer/producer Joe Paulino and the comfort of the awesome Studio P, but a little less so this show because SuccotashEpi25 comes directly from the Four Seasons Resort on the island of Maui, Hawaii! No special reason, other than the fact I got a chance to hop over to the islands with friend-of-Succotash Dana Carvey as part of my celebrity ride-along program. It won’t sound any different, unfortunately, but you might be able to hear the exotic birds squawking in the courtyard out the window.
Actually it DOES sound a little different in one regard: I recorded my tracks with the snappy new iRigMic Cast form 1K Multimedia – a tiny little microphone that plugs directly into the input jack on an iPhone, iPad or Android. GREAT for poddin’ on the road!
We start off with a Kickstarter update from the X-Files Dean Haglund, who is THIS close to reaching his $7000 goal in order to get his Shock N’ Awesome graphic novel off the ground. Just a few days left and, if he DOESN’T get the 7G’s, he gets nothing. So start clickin’ and kickin’ right now – hit the link over in the right hand column of the blog or just click right here.
Our special guest this epi is Rich Pinder, one-quarter of the podcast team known as The Anti-Semantic Show. I had a nice chat with him via Skype this past week and we hit on podcasting in general, the equipment his guys use, the prep they do (and DON’T do for the show), and just how this ragtag team of web squawkers got together.
We have a new comedy ditty this epi, Let Your Geek Flag Fly, from John Anealio and his album Geek Dad. Thanks to editing, you’d never I had a hell of a time with the pronunciation of John’s last name every time I had to say it…so I left one of the stumbling runs at it in the show. You can find more funny tunage from him at JohnAnealio.com.
As usual, we close out the show with Will Durst who, as the Presidential election looms ever closer, hones his political barbs sharper and sharper. Don’t forget to follow him on Twitter @WillDurst.
