Ham Radio Podclass 2016

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Just a little recording while I drove between places doing some shopping. I was trying out a new recorder setup in my old green truck. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! My friend's Krazy Wabbit Show and his 12 days of “Irksmas”.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I had a bit of nostalgia today driving around town in Traverse City and the Cherryland Mall (now called Cherryland Center and nearly empty). It's amazing the things you remember about things so long ago. Also, I talk about some nostalgia about podcasting. When it was a hobby and a form of therapy for a lot of people. I'm sure it still is for some, but sometimes I see the all the business end of it.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Fall is in the air around Traverse City these days, but the trees are not turning color just yet.  Looking forward to being done with house projects and getting settled in for winter. 2:23 A random place in my show Check out my episode with Evo Terra on Podcast Help Desk this week.  (episode 110)    

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Yet another test, but with more info  

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I flipped on the mic for an update for the summer.  We are getting rain after 3 weeks of hot dry weather. I went to Podcast Movement, The U. P. of Michigan.  An old truck update and more about house updates.  

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Happy Birthday to my sister Angie! Was a HOT weekend in TC.  The Air Show weekend was good, just a quick before-work update.    

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I got a new toy in the studio.  A Denon DN-300R digital recorder deck.  Now I can record WITHOUT the computer in the studio. Also, I updated our renovation projects and other things going on in Traverse City.    

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I thought I lost my portable recorder,  Then found it and thought I broke it and now it works.  Go figure  Just a quick update from Northern Michigan.    

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I update my tobacco free status (3+ Weeks) and talk about Facebook, YouTube and whatnot. Just remember, no matter what other place I am at, I'm always going to be right here on MikeDell.com Also, Do you know of any other “Personal Journal” type podcasts like this one? I used to listen to a lot of them, but I sort of think this may be a dying art form. Let me know mike@mikedell.com Recording today was done with a Logitech Headset mic I got while I was in Ohio.  It's not the best, but I'm sure not the worst way to record a podcast    

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I've been addicted Tobacco in various forms for the last (wow! long time) years…  I am finally going tobacco free totally starting in a few days.   Wish me luck! I'm having some dental work done and after my appointment on Tuesday, I am going to quit all together.  Along with losing weight it's going to be hard, but I think it's time! Again, wish me luck! If you have any ideas on how to make it less difficult, please let me know.   mike@mikedell.com or on Facebook or Twitter.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Had my own personal tech bubble burst.  Ended up with a new iPhone 8+, A new Router (the old one was 11 years old!) and just now found out my compressor/Limiter/Gate is 1/2 dead.    Oh well. I moved the studio back down to the Office in the basement and recorded this using the PR40 mic instead of the headset I've been using for a while.  Let me know what you think of the sound.  

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Well, I made it!  300 episodes.  I was a bit under the weather so I didn't do the episode on New Years.  I was sleeping trying to get rid of a cold or blowing and shoveling snow. I'm not going to write a lot of show notes for this one.   Just listen to it for a few surprises.  Here is to another 300!  

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I talk about moving the snow out of the driveway and what's coming up on MDW, Fast Food History and Podcast Help Desk in the first week of 2018. Send me some feedback for show 300.   You can use the voicemail link on this page OR you can send me a file or just write mike@mikedell.com  

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn It's still snowing. This is getting OLD already. Plus I have a cold. Grumpy short episode.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Almost sounds like I'm phoning it in. This short episode is from my Airpods as the Microphone on my Mac. Don't think I will use them for producing podcasts, but they are great at listening to podcasts.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn The weather is BRUTAL here… Was 5 degrees and windy on Christmas and yesterday. It's up to a whopping 11 degrees (F) and sunny today. Heat wave.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn From a hotel room in Dublin Ohio, where I'm down here showing my face at the Blubrry offices, I just ramble a bit about this and that. Nothing to write home about but it was fun to setup the mobile gear in the hotel room anyway.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I talk a little too much about mailboxes and snow Just an update on the way to 300 episodes.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn A mini political rant on my part. Also, found some old voiceovers that were done my friend Jim Farley back in 2008 or so. Fun stuff. On my way to Episode 300 on Jan 1st 2018.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Just read about a 25 year old that was killed in his driveway because someone went off the road an hit him. Slow down people! Winter is the time to relax, take it slow, read a book and above all, don't get in a hurry on the roads. You, and those around you, will live to tell about it. We had some snow in the area and I played my traditional snow song for the first real snow in Traverse City this season.
