Beginners Guide to Podcasting Part 1

Beginners Guide to Podcasting Part 1

Today's episode is going to be a little different than what you may be used to from a pipe podcast, in that pipes are only going to be mentioned in context to the topic at hand. We are going to be discussing the basics of podcasting today and how you get started. We will look at thing s like why you want to do a podcast, the research involved and commitment level, just to name a few.

I have been thinking about a guide like this for a bit and decided now was the time. I hope you enjoy the show and that you are able to take something away from it.

What says pipe smoking more than Sherlock Holmes? Not much, and that's why we are starting out the Pipe and a Book Series with him! This book was purchased and listened to on Audible (not a sponsor), which as a father of three with a fourth on the way is the only real way get any reading done right at the moment. {Please excuse the intro and outro on this episode, I had to record them in my echo chamber of a living room! : )}

Weeknight Smoke: A Padre, A Pipe Caver and a Pod-caster, Oh My!

Weeknight Smoke: A Padre, A Pipe Caver and a Pod-caster, Oh My!

Welcome to the very special first episode of weeknight smoke. This episode runs a little longer than what I planned on, but I did have two interviews this time! In the first segment of our first episode, we are joined by Rev. Randall M. Graff AKA Padre Piper. Padre and I talk pipes, tobacco, and much more. During our talk, Padre was going to discuss the full recipe for his own tobacco Rector's Blend but he couldn't find the notes! I received an e-mail later the same day with those very notes and we have included it here for your perusal:

Rector’s Blend:

.75 ounce (or 1 part) Lane BCA

.75 ounce (or 1 part) Lane Virginia

Allow that to marry in a sealed jar for 10-14 days, gently shaking the mixture every few days.

After completing that step, add 1.5 ounce (or 2 parts) Lane BS-005 to the jar. Seal and allow to marry for at least a week to 10 days, making certain to again shake/mix every couple of days.

After a week to 10 days, enjoy Rector’s Blend.

Shop Talk with Nate Rose is our second segment! Nate and I discuss what is up in our lives and at his shop in this part of the episode. This segment was originally going to be part of Maple City Pipecast, but I thought it would be good on this show as well. Nate was also featured in the Carver Series on Maple City Pipecast. Links to those episodes are here:

Nate is also the man responsible for the pipe featured in the shows current cover art.

Finally, we get to our tobacco impression for this episode, Sutliff Private Stock Maple Street. what did I think of this tobacco? I can't remember, you'll have to listen to find out!
