Pod-Crashing Episode 67 with Jake Brennan from Disgraceland I still believe my fascination and deep dedication to podcasting is due to the love affair I had as a child listening to Radio Mystery Theater on KGHL in Billings, Montana.

Jake digs into the journey of musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Episodes that trace the most insane criminal stories surround...

Pod-Crashing Episode 63 Remember when the only thing you heard on podcasts were comedians, political talkers, bloggers wanting to share their voice and hardworking deeply dedicated creative minds that somehow couldn’t land a job in radio. Gotta be honest with ya. I don’t know how I got to stay on that tower as long as I did. I was extremely tired of babysitting a radio show mixed by the heavily programmed computer. We’d spend four to six hours a shift sitting in the studio preparing for three to...

All four play a huge role in shaping the final stages of how you want your podcast to grow. I prefer to stay comp...

Pod-Crashing Episode 52 Programming Let’s lay it on the line. I’m not a Trouble Maker or Firestarter but I’ve always been a walker of my own way.

I truly love those that took that time weekly if not daily to sit me down in their nicely designed programming offices and calmly said, “I like how you try but every so often we need to pull you back.

My passion. It gets in the way of ...
