After 2 years of podcasting and experimenting with settings and spending weeks and weeks tweaking audio I was never able to get the sound quality I wanted. I have always been seeking that deep, punchy, talk radio sound quality and it always seemed out. I’ve spent tons of money on equipment that people promised would give me that sound with no results.

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, late last night after 7 hours of being in the studio tweaking audio I have FINALLY figured it out! I needed to reverse the polarity, no I’m serious. Sounds like something a crazy scientist would only…

We all knew that it was coming. We could hear the squawking of the Vultures months ago. Deminski and Doyle (D and D) are no more. The Day we have been dreading is among us.

As soon as 97.1 Free FM’s untimely death at the hands of CBS executives, all of us Detroiters let out a collective gasp of horror. All of our favorite shows were gone in a flash (and a lot of our not so favorite). Due to the overwhelming popularity of Deminski and Doyle, they were kind enough to spare us and move them from drive-home to mornings.

D…

For the past week or so I have been trying to replicate a film look with my Panasonic DVX100b. The whole reason I got the DVX was to do this and it has the ability to do it, A lot of indie film makers use this exact camera, I just don’t know what the fuck I’m doing yet.

I have learned a lot so far and I am getting closer, but still not perfect. Believe it or not I have learned A LOT from a 15 year old kid from Tennessee. I found him on the DVXuser.com forum and I am…

Well I haven’t made a blog entry in a while and I figured today would be a good time.  I am at work right now pondering how I can best spend the next 8 hours until 5 rolls around.  I’m all caught up on my AutoWeek work after being out sick for most of the week.

I have a few projects that I need to work on and finish soon.  I have to finish up a shopping cart application for this guy here at work that is trying to sell his artwork from his site.  Hopefully that goes smoothly.  I’ve never…

I’m sitting at my desk right now in my office and I am waiting patiently for 2:30PM to roll around.  I will be departing at 3:30 and will arrive 4 hours later in Vegas at 4:30PM.  The SEMA auto show is happening and since I work for AutoWeek Magazine, corporate is sending me out there to video tape it.  So from 9 to 5 everyday I will be video taping and interviewing people from the industry, checking out sweet cars and models.  Then I will be hitting the Casino’s and getting trashed.  So although it will be work It will…

I peaked my head out of that pile of stress and just when I thought I was escaping… bam!  A whole new batch a stresses get dropped on my head.

One of these days I’ll get this shit outa the way.

The most random thing has happened to me this week. After searching for a show to watch on one of those streaming video sites, I came across a show that I used to watch with my dad a long time ago, when I was a kid. Mystery Science Theater 3000. I remembered it being somewhat entertaining, either that or I remember my dad laughing at it. Anyways, I pulled up an episode. My girlfriend, Sarah, was protesting while the horribly corny intro played. I assured her that the show was good and to give it a chance.

As soon as I…

Let me preface this blog post by saying that I am a huge fan and critic of talk radio and that the talk radio in Detroit was mediocre at best. I would listen to it not because it was good by any means but rather because I wanted to see what they did wrong and what they did right so I wouldn’t make the same mistakes on my show. It was kind of a learning tool.

Talk radio in the motor city is DEAD. I was driving home from work yesterday and I put on 97.1 Free FM, which is the…

I come to work today and receive an IM from Matt telling me that the Rising Star Detroit site is done! FUCK YES. Huge weight off of my back. There are still a few modifications that need to be made but for the most part, its functional.

I am slowly making my way out of that stress pile. My only problem now is dealing with a completely incompetent hosting company. This company hosts my Wreckless Media Radio website and forum, my tech blog, this site, and a few others. The name of this horrible company is PowWeb Hosting, or as I…

I have been doing the whole talk radio thing for almost 2 years now and as of late I feel the show has been losing steam. Not that the shows have been bad by any means, but that I think the co-hosts are losing the dynamic that they used to have with me. Now that they are more comfortable with being on the show they are slowly trying to steal the spot-light. And don’t think I am being pampas and I want to be the star, its not like that at all. I am the host, I make the show…
