Q & A with Jason Davis from The Nerd 411<\/h2>\n
\n

When did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

I started out in podcasting around March 2013, it was the idea of deciding, researching, and acquiring the equipment to do the podcast. I have to thank Podcast Answer Man for his podcast and what he has posted on his website.<\/p>\n

Why did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

Good question, as being a fan of everything nerd\/geek i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and everything else in between, I thought you myself and was telling my friend, \u201cI bet there are other likeminded individuals that want to know what I want to know about my favorite celebrity, or fan group, or perhaps conventions coming up.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your show about?<\/h3>\n

Our show is about everything nerdy! We bring the latest news of the week about movies or rumors of upcoming movies, TV shows, the comic report and review of a couple of week prior comics. The Toy Box, where we review purchases<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcasting set-up? Hardware, software, CMS, etc.<\/h3>\n

Our podcast setup is pretty simple. We use a Behringer Xenyx X1622USB, a Roland R\u201305 coming from the mixer into it. Also have a Mac to play the Intro-Outro, interviews, and any other audio via Ambrosia\u2019s Soundboard soundcart software.<\/p>\n

The microphones we use are the Audio-Technica ATR 2100-USB, which we will upgrade to the Heil PR\u201340 later. Post production, we convert the wav into a mp3 and then its uploaded to Libsyn and posted.<\/p>\n

How have you promoted your podcast?<\/h3>\n

We have promoted our podcast via all the social media sites, Facebook<\/a>, Google+, Twitter<\/a> etc. Also on our podcast, word of mouth, mobile apps, we go to conventions and pass out freebies with the info about the podcast.<\/p>\n

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?<\/h3>\n

Wish I knew all the equipment needed to do a great podcast, and money as well. Someone that was good at doing voice over work for bumpers and Intro and Outro\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n

For this new year the Nerd 411 will be broadcasting live! So how about it? Time to subscribe<\/a> don\u2019t you think?<\/em><\/p>\n
