Q & A with Billy from The Manwhore Podcast<\/h2>\n
\n

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

The Manwhore Podcast launched in April 2014. But I started planning, researching and recording in November 2013.<\/p>\n

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

I have a unique problem: women will sleep with me but they won\u2019t date me.<\/p>\n

I know a lot of men would envy my position but it\u2019s always been very frustrating for me. I love love, but I also love sex!<\/p>\n

However, every time I wanted to make a relationship more serious, the woman was always the one to say, \u201cLet\u2019s just keep this super casual.\u201d So I decided to finally seek some answers!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a stand-up comedian so it\u2019s important to produce some sort of content besides your stand-up.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really do sketches or YouTube characters but a podcast is a trendy and fitting medium for a comic. On top of asking my former flames why we didn\u2019t work out, I\u2019m also super passionate about sex, dating, sexuality and gender.<\/p>\n

So doing a podcast would allow me to talk about these topics I\u2019m really into without the pressure of having to do yet another generic comedy podcast.<\/p>\n

My show is certainly more of a sexuality show than a comedy show, but there are naturally a lot of funny moments!<\/p>\n

I knew for a long time I wanted to do something with my interesting sex\/dating life. I didn\u2019t know if it was a blog or a web series or a podcast or what.<\/p>\n

When I finally settled on doing it as a podcast, I received all of instruction I could ever need from Keith and the Girl\u2019s Ultimate Podcasting Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The e-book illustrated everything one needed to do from conception to equipment to launch to promotion. It\u2019s invaluable.<\/p>\n

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

In the Manwhore Podcast<\/a>, every week I talk to women I\u2019ve hooked up with about sex, dating, sexuality and gender.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not really interviews as much as they are honest conversations between former intimates. I also have on special guests: sex educators, porn stars, queer performers, sex workers and stand-up comedians.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcasting set-up?<\/h3>\n

I am an idiot when it comes to tech stuff.<\/p>\n

I prefer to maintain my ignorance of audio engineering while maximizing the quality of the show.<\/p>\n

Keith and the Girl emphasized to me over and over to not be cheap about microphones! What your show sounds like is literally one of the most important things.<\/p>\n

If your content is spectacular and it sounds like crap, no one will listen to more than 20 seconds. I record on an H4N Zoom with two Shure SM 58 mics.<\/p>\n

I then drag the file off the Zoom and edit it on Audacity. After I export that WAV file, I run it through Auphonic before publishing on Libsyn! Seems to work for me and no one\u2019s complained about the audio quality yet!<\/p>\n

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