    Hey Jason, glad to see your podcast is up and running, I’m happy for your and your wife it sounds like your living your dream in Argentina. I know you’ll have continued success because it’s clear that you love what you do and love sharing it and helping others as well, so good on you, I really try to use the Value Added First approach to marketing that I’ve learned from you in all of my online business. I can’t think of a better marketing technique available.

    Hey, so here’s a question, I’ve been wondering since I’ve been following you here and on IBM, where can I hear a sample of your band’s music?

    Take care and have a blast in Argentina.

    I guess I should have waited until the end of the show before I made my comment because I have a tip to add as far as how to stay cool.
    Years ago as a kid I worked food prep in a Restaurant and this works well. Take a towel and soak it in cold water, wring it out and drape it over you neck. You’d think that after a short time the towel would heat up, but believe it or not, the towel stays fairly cool as long as it’s on you.

    Every 15 minutes or so, twist the towel to put the side that was exposed next to your skin and it’s freshly cool. This will continue until the towel dries. I don’t know why this works, I’ve never been great with physics, but it does.

    … the sacrifices you make for your audience amaze me!

    Thanks again and I enjoyed the tips from other podcasters,

    AW

    AuctionWally,

    I was wondering when if someone would eventually ask about my past band.

    Well, here you go. A cut from the final record from Desmo that, sadly, never was finished. The song is called Meant to Take. The music was written as a band. Lyrics and vocals were done by my wife. I’m on guitar. Let me know what you think.

    Desmo - Meant to Take

    Thanks for the great tip on cooling off. I will definitely try it out. That makes a lot of sense. I bet the circulation through the neck takes the cooling effect around the body.

    Jason,
    It’s great to see you are back with more shows. Yours is one of my favorite podcast podcasts.

    For some reason, #31 will not show up in iTunes. Is it just me?

    @Tracy,

    Thanks for the heads up. There was an error in the feed. I had to do a resync in FeedBurner. Now all is well. I guess some people will be getting two new episodes of TPU this week!

    Hi Jason,
    Even though it says I am subscribed already somehow I’ve fallen off the list and have not been geting notifcation of the new posts as I use to.

    This might help with the echo and the heat. I picked this tip up from another podcaster who used it when he was on the road and podcasting from his motel room. The effectiveness of this will somewhat depend upon the microphone you are using and it’s pickup pattern. I tried it while I was on the road and it worked pretty well. Surround yourself and your microphone in a circle of pillows. Make sure there are pillows behind the mike and behind you and on the sides so you and the mike are surrounded by the pillow wall of silence. Since most mic-up patters don’t pick up very much above or below the mic you have pretty much blocked out the echos and at least now you don’t have that heavy blanket over you head heating up that small encolsed space. Try it out it should work for you.

    All the best,
    Ted Sudol
