(53:53) Meet Chad Bowers. He’s the guy that sounds like he escaped from a Texas mental institution when he podcasts. Oh wait, no, that’s Jimbo. I think Chad is the one who plays it straight and then twists the story enough to where you are go, “What the hey?” Yeah, that’s the guy.
Anyway, whoever he is, he recently answered a mess of odd questions for Jimbo. Partake with this audio as if this were Bayou-spicy all-you-eat-seafood.

(45:30) A bit of a coincidence spurs Jimbo into action; he made this podcast to seize upon the inspiration. He insists he’s not an expert but he provides a bunch of tips and personal opinions about the art of podcasting that he’s learned since he began doing it three years ago.
contents
it’s a privilege to podcast .. had recorded a ‘tips’ podcast on Saturday .. saw a Mike Boody Periscope video on podcasting (Saturday night) .. physical and mental art of podcasting .. not an expert .. have picked up some tips .. my indoor equipment: laptop, 50″ TV, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, Wavepad software, Tascam recorder, tripod, no longer monitor myself, keyboards (music) .. explaining how I meant to use the keyboards .. using websites for sound effects .. mental aspects of podcasting .. using notes, taking notes .. rampling without notes .. a talent? .. talking to the microphone ..

I _try_ to listen to every podcast .. editing is the most important thing you can do .. you’re an idiot if you just slap your show online .. if you have something to say and are entertaining you are worth listening to .. but if you don’t edit… .. not being open .. my biggest mistake .. I’ve made these mistakes – learn from my/your mistakes .. production value (Fusebox and Marc Rose) .. learn from Marc Rose .. nobody here can match Fusebox .. tell stories (real or unreal) .. descriptive rampling .. learning from Frank and Ruben Schade ..
