Mike Dell's World

I heard from a podcast pioneer yesterday and he even sent me some voiceovers. Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, who used to do Pacific Coast Hellway Podcast back in the day and was the head of Podshow LA along with 1000 other things. It was very cool to hear from him and he is thinking about podcasting again. No details and he's not sure yet, but I will be working on him! <br /><br /> <br /><br /> You can see all of Mark's books here: https://www.amazon.com/Mark-Yoshimoto-Nemcoff/e/B004QZM0FS and likely hear him doing voiceovers on commerials and promos on Radio and TV. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> #NaPodPoMo #25 for 2017 Checkout National Podcast Posting Month here: http://napodpomo.org

No #blackfriday shopping for me today. Doing a 1/2 day of work and goofing off a bit. No big plans for most of the the day off. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Percy has the right idea :)

Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US! <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Having a bit of a nostalgic day when it comes to podcasting. Editing and recording my new show, Fast Food History.

Just a quick trial from my iPhone. Trying out a new headset.

I reminisce about the "good old days" of Podsafe music. My Friend Kevin Reeves was an early star of the Podsafe music world back then. <br /><br /> I play a couple of songs of his. You can check out the rest of his stuff here: http://kevinreeves.net/

I talk about Facebook and a few other things. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> National Podcast Posting Month #napodpomo

Just a quick episode rambling about whatever :)

I'm getting ready for the winter by finishing the motorhome winterization, parking it out of the way and getting my snowblower (and ice auger) running and serviced up. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Also, I have 4 OSU vs. U of M tickets for sale. (Check them out here: https://nmi.craigslist.org/tix/d/michigan-vs-ohio-state/6389168445.html if you are interested. I don't want to have to go to the game. My easy chair is a much better view of the game :) but if you have never been to the Big House, it's worth doing it!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I also rant about the local TV stations.

The first episode of Fast Food History is out. Check it out over at FastFoodHistory.org. This was the idea I had 2 weeks ago that nobody talked me out of. :) <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Of course, this is my 17th entry in the 2017 NaPodPoMo for November 17th 2017.

I played a couple of songs by Michael McGone (the old GEICO guy from the TV ads a few years back) <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Also a funny inside Radio bit. (kicked vs. licked) <br /><br /> <br /><br /> The picture is me 16 days into No Shave November ( got a sort of Santa look going on )

Nothing in particular in this episode. Just me rambling about this and that. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> I talk about: <br /><br /> <br /><br /> - Radio<br /><br /> - NaPodPoMo<br /><br /> - No Shave November<br /><br /> - Blubrry PowerPress<br /><br /> - Secret Blubrry Project I'm testing (shhhhh) <br /><br /> - Noise :) <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Enjoy

Just testing out a new version of PowerPress, THE podcast plugin for WordPress by Blubrry.com <br /><br /> <br /><br /> We have added Post To Social into PowerPress for this new version (I think it will be version

I preview a few spots for my new show over at fastfoodhistory.org which will have the McDonald's Episdoe out on Friday.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Who knew our President did a McDonald's ad? <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Go check out the rest of the National Podcast Posting Month shows at NaPodPoMo.org

A little bit about the party we had yesterday and some Ham Radio stuff. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> The IOOK net is on 7.185mhz (7185khz) on Sunday Morning at 10:30am - Listen for WA8ZWJ as net control and my call is K8LMJ. You can listen online at WebSdr.org. Try to pick a receiver somewhere in the eastern US for the best chance at hearing anyone from the International Order Of Krazies group. (iook.org) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Episode number 12 for #NaPodPoMo (National Podcast Posting Month)

One of my favorite episodes. It's a rerun of MDW136 from 2009. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Enjoy! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Happy Veterans day to those who served!

Just a quick update between chores setting up for our fall party. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Cold and a little bit of snow here in TC.

Winter is back in Michigan today. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I played a couple of old Wild Turkeys songs from 2009. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> https://www.facebook.com/The-Wild-Turkeys-23002227647/

A friend of mine, Steve (AKA Omelette) and Rick Coates are back on the radio as of about a month and a half ago after about 1 year off the air. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Steve was doing a podcast over at omeletteradio.com while he was off the radio. Check it out, it's still there and working. But now they are on from 5:30a to 10am on 98.1/97.7 and streaming live on http://classicrockthebear.com/ <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I talk a bit about how radio and TV work around Traverse City and Northwest Lower / Eastern Upper Michigan. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> This is #NaPodPoMo number 8 for me.

I talk about how working from home is (good and bad) and how I deal with some of the pitfalls. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> This is No. 7 in the #NaPodPoMo 2017 National Podcast Posting Month where I am doing 30 episodes in 30 days.

Here is the blog post about it: https://powerpresspodcast.com/2017/11/06/blubrry-announces-acquisition-castfeedvalidator-com/<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> #NaPodPoMo<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Catch you Tomorrow!

I played a couple of tunes from the (now defunct) Podsafe Music Network and earned my Explicit tag (Barley).<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Quick update about what is going on in My World :)<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Big announcement tomorrow. I can't wait :)<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />

He's doing it again... I'm not taking my own advice and starting a new podcast. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I have the domain name FastFoodHistory.org but that will not work until Monday. Until then, go to fastfood.blubrry.net and you can subscribe and not miss the first episode in a couple of weeks. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> As the name implies, it's about Fast Food History. Listen to today's episode to hear more about it.

I geek out a bit on Big Boy history and current status. Never knew it was such a Michigan, Ohio and California thing. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> See: Wikipedia Article<br /><br /><br /> Big Boy International Locations<br /><br /><br /> Frish's Big Boy locations<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Catch me Tomorrow

I talk about my day on the road at some meetings and some Big Boy trivia. I think I will do a whole episode about Big Boy this month, so stay tuned! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> This is NaPodPoMo2017 #2 for me. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Catch me Tomorrow!

Early morning update. I talk about the summer and how fast it went for us.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> This episode was recorded in the "new" studio location. We are working on the basement here so I got to put my office/studio up in the living room.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Happy Friday the 13th!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />

I am just celibrating my Episode 100 over at PodcastHelpDesk.com. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I figured I would share this with the Mike Dell's World listeners as well as it's more about my history in podcasting than it is about Podcasting Technology. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> If you want to subscribe directly to that show, go to PodcastHelpDesk.com and push the approprate button, and YOU will feel a vibration in your pants, whenever i put out an episode!

I had a little adventure with my Wife's car a while back and put some small dents and scratches in it. We had full coverage insurance on the car so the insurance company decided to total it. Doesn't make any sense to me so I bought it back from the insurance company.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I talk about my way of buying and owning cars which is a bit different then the normal I suppose. :)<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> This episode is both Episode 61 of Geek of the North and Episode 254 of Mike Dell's World Podcast.

I've been playing with a live streaming server. If you notice in the upper right corner of MikeDell.com, there is a player that says "Radio Mike Dell". At the beginning on of this podcast, I was LIVE on that stream. I had a couple of technical problems along the way but it's a work in progress. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I also talk about Dogs, Weather, Live Streaming, My Garage and I played a couple of songs from the Old Podsafe Music Network (RIP). <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I'm also playing with some other new tools. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, you might notice them. That's all I'm saying about that for now :)

Recorded from the easy chair in my log cabin in Northern Michigan<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I just got a new computer and I got my newly repaired microphone back so i did a test recording that turned into a Mike Dell's World Episode :) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> You also get to hear a couple of beagles fighting over a bone in my living room.

I talk about the wife's new car, furnace replacement and all my other podcasts (as if you didn't know about them) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Also a little about the Beagle Rescue we volunteer for, Midwest BREW.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Also, subscribe, rate, review and listen to my other podcasts:<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Geek of the North on Modern Life Network<br /><br /><br /> Podcast Help Desk<br /><br /><br /> Podcast Quick Hits<br /><br /><br /> Traverse City Podcast

- Why would it be important to have the engine size or the type of transmission or whatever on your vehicle's outside? For that matter, other than pimping the auto manufacturer why would you even want their logo on your car? <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> - Left Lane driving on the freeway. My take on it.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> - Why is it when people sports teams when they say "we won!"? Wouldn't be that "They" won? The Team in question. YOU just watched them win. Republicans and Democrats are like sports teams to people. They root for the Dems or the GOP and no matter what they do or say, it's ok with them. Instead of thinking about the issue at hand, they just blindly follow. Also, it seems if anyone says anything bad about the other side, it's believed when it's likely not true.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> - Why does the USAF want to get rid of the A-10 ? If I were in charge of the military, I would change things up a LOT!

Some good news, some bad news (very bad news) in this episode. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Life is getting back to "normal" but it's been a rough few weeks when it comes to dogs. We lost our 4 year old beagle Banjo to an injury that couldn't be fixed. Then we got a new Puppy (Benny) who is a handful but very cool. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I will be presenting at the Podcast Awards on Sunday June 26th at 8pm. If you want to watch live, it will be at PodcastAwards.com <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> The Traverse City podcast lives again. Check it out at TraverseCityPodcast.com via Blubrry PowerPress Sites.

This is a rant that I recorded a while back that just makes sense to put on here now.

Agree or not, I talk about my opinion on Guns and Gun Control.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Here is an article I wrote about the subject: http://mikedell.com/why-do-you-need-that-gun/
