Q & A with Ingo and Matt from MMA Nuts<\/h2>\n
\n

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

About 5 years ago we laid down the first episode which was a horrible, but we had a ton of fun doing it.<\/p>\n

It was challenging, exciting and scary as hell at the same time looking at that camera. Now..whole different story\u2026 we don\u2019t even notice the camera is there.<\/p>\n

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

We wanted to try something fun and work on a project that go us away from the typical 9\u20135 office job.<\/p>\n

We picked MMA as a medium because we always found ourselves in heated discussions about the sport and thought it would be great to base a show around our love for MMA.<\/p>\n

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

Its about two guys sitting in our basement drinking beer and acting silly\u2026.or wait, that\u2019s already been done hasn\u2019t it. Schwing!<\/p>\n

Basically we are the mixed martial arts show for normal people.<\/p>\n

We give you our real opinions which are usually heavily biased without regard for political correctness or what some guy in a suit thinks is appropriate. We love martial arts.<\/p>\n

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

We use a Canon 1080p Camera with a wide angle lens to record the video and our audio portion consists of Shure WL183 Omnidirectional Wireless Lavalier Mics patched through a Behringer Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 Compressor,\u00a0\u00a0Mackie Onyx\u20131220i mixer, and all being recorded into a Zoom HN4 recorder.<\/p>\n

Skype calls are also routed through the board and inserted into the main mix.<\/p>\n

We use Audacity for the Audio and Final Cut Pro for the Video. Editing is done on an i7 iMac<\/p>\n

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

We promote the podcast through our Website<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Youtube<\/a>, iTunes, and various other social networks. A lot of the promotion really comes from the heavy interaction with our fans on a daily basis and word of mouth.<\/p>\n

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

We should have bought better audio and video gear from the start rather than waiting for a year or so to do it.<\/p>\n

Those first 20\u201330 shows had so many technical issues it nearly drove us insane.<\/p>\n

Quite a few times we would do an hour long show only to realize the audio was totally unusable or the video had a problem etc. causing us to have to immediately do the same hour long show again! Talk about frustrating!<\/p>\n

\n

Calling all of YOU! You know who you are – you normal mixed martial arts fan – yes, you – this is YOUR show! So stop sitting back and subscribe<\/a>!<\/em>
