This series is all about showcasing Libsyn podcasters. Its sole purpose is to introduce these awesome podcasts to the world as well as share their podcasting insight to empower the community!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n What About Pod?<\/a> was conceptualized in 2012, but we didn\u2019t record and publish our first episode until April of 2013.<\/p>\n The three of us all have tried stand-up comedy to some degree, with Chris Ricciardi still actively \u201cin the business\u201d. Chris Squyres and Producer Jay \u00a0both have varying degrees of radio chops, as well.<\/p>\n I think we all have a creative, comedic side that naturally lends itself to the captive audience only a podcast can provide.<\/p>\n We\u2019re an emotional podcast with some deep seeded comedy issues.<\/p>\n But seriously, we have a lot of quick moving segments, most of our core is making fun of the less serious side of news and hot topics, with some stories and games mixed in.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not \u201cinto\u201d one of our shows, just wait five minutes. We\u2019ll dive into a different segment, and likely go off on a funny, entertaining tangent or two.<\/p>\n What week is it?<\/p>\n This has varied a lot since day 1.<\/p>\n Right now we run 3 laptops, 3 MXL 910 mics, and a Behringer XENYX X1204USB board. We record in Audacity, generally editing with Adobe Audition, and manage most\/all of our content via the wonderful folks at Libsyn!<\/p>\n Hopefully we\u2019re done purchasing equipment for the near future.<\/p>\n Just like most independent podcasts, social media is key!<\/p>\n We\u2019re on most of the major sites (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.). Just not Pinterest. None of us have enough Y chromosome in us to figure that one out.<\/p>\n Two major things: How much time it takes to put an episode together from \u201ccradle to grave\u201d, and how to keep growing and innovating without losing who you are in the process.<\/p>\n About six months in, we really focused exclusively on what WE enjoyed doing, and constantly work to make that better. Things fell in place from there. If you\u2019re not enjoying it or it becomes a bother, you\u2019re probably doing it wrong.<\/p>\n What could be better than listening to a podcast where they guys producing it are enjoying themselves, love to podcast and has super fast segments that make fun of the less serious side of news and hot topics? Well then\u2026.you do need to subscribe!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
