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 Well, I actually had a previous podcast that I premiered on July 27, 2011, so that would be my official start.<\/p>\n I had to cease production on that show after 29 episodes, and started up my current show, Media Fiasco, on June 16, 2003.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve always enjoyed talk radio – namely shock-talk shows like Don and Mike, and now that Don Geronimo and Mike O\u2019Meara each have their own podcasts, I enjoy them both.<\/p>\n I think that hearing them have so much fun combined with being told by many that I have a face for radio led me to podcasting.<\/p>\n I felt that I needed a creative outlet of some kind. I don\u2019t sing or play and instrument, I don\u2019t write, and I don\u2019t act, but I do have a quirky sense of humor, and it all just kind of clicked for me.<\/p>\n I refer to my show as my irreverent and inappropriate take on news and pop culture. Basically, I dig deep into the seedy underbelly of the word to find the most bizarre, weird, disgusting, gross, and wholly inappropriate news stories that I can find.<\/p>\n I report the stories, and offer my takes – often just a brief one or two line zinger.<\/p>\n I always tell people not to listen if they have children in the car, if they have a weak stomach, or if they can\u2019t find humor in the sickest things they\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n My hardware chain is a Heil PR40, a FetHead PreAmp, Mackie MDX\u20134600 Compressor\/Limiter\/Gate, Mackie 1402VLZ3 Mixer, recorded on to a Roland R\u201309 Recorder.<\/p>\n I also have a Shure SM58 as a second mic in Channel 2, an iPad I use for a soundboard, and a Laptop I use for Skype, playing secondary soundboard sounds or audio directly from the internet.<\/p>\n Media Fiasco<\/a> is a WordPress Installation with the Thesis theme. I also have a forum (phpBB) that I developed and customized.<\/p>\n I also have a Google Voice Listener Feedback Hotline 209\u2013432\u20133535<\/p>\n My media files are hosted on Libsyn\u2026. NATURALLY!<\/p>\n I have a Facebook page<\/a> I post to.<\/p>\n I post new episodes on Twitter: @mediafiasco<\/a><\/p>\n I am trying to keep my forum<\/a> up to date with new episodes as well \u2013<\/p>\n
