RadioZoomRZ#51 – Car Ride and Rebecca’s First Time on the Podcast[Show Notes Link] Direct download link This episode is an experiment and adventure all rolled into one. While on the way to Port Moody this afternoon, I started recording on the minidisc. It’s the first time Rebecca has ever been apart of the podcast, the first time I’ve used this equipment to do anything mobile, and a lot of us just giggling and having a good time on our way to pick up her mom. Rebecca is always telling me little facts about Vancouver, so my hope is to do more of these types of things in the future as we venture around the lower mainland. Also, this is encoded with slightly better quality since it is not very long. Being that this is something new that I’m trying, I’m dying for feedback. As you might be able to tell, sometimes we just get carried away. Please send an email or audio comment to radiozoom [at] gmail [dot] com.

RadioZoomRZ#48 – Dad Update; Other Podcasts; Future Plans[Show Notes Link] Direct download link It’s the CouchCast! However, I think the audio on this sucks, but that’s what I get for trying something new. My setup is still handicapped by the fact that I don’t work at a radio station anymore with access to all sorts of great toys to do recording with. I hope you can handle it. Cheers and jeers are appreciated.

RadioZoomRZ#47 – Adventures in Video; My Dad’s Surgery; Working in Canada[Show Notes Link] Direct download link There are a few bullet points that I make it a point to go over today. First off, a little bit about my video podcasting endeavor and what it is that I’m trying to do with it; “you don’t know until you try.” Second, just a little bit of personal info as my father goes into surgery for a tumor on one of his kidneys. Please keep him in your thoughts. That leads into the third part of today’s episode of a new and ongoing segment for the future, Working in Canada. Why can’t I get listed in the iTunes Podcast Directory? Can I get some help here? My feed has already been submitted, and yet I see nothing.

RadioZoomRZ#46 – Vancouver Thoughts; First Canucks Game at GM Place; Weekend in Victoria[Show Notes Link] Direct download link This episode is mostly about tales from Vancouver. I share my experience at my first Canucks game last night at GM Place. It’s hard not to talk quite a bit of hockey today. Also, Rebecca and I made our way over to Vancouver Island to spend the weekend in Victoria this past weekend, so I take some time to share some of those experiences. There was so much to talk about and I know I forgot about half of what I wanted to share. With hope, I can share more in the future as I think of it.

I invite you to check out Dave Olsen’s Canucks Outsider podcast, especially if you are a Canucks hockey fan.

RadioZoomRZ#43 – 11.10.2005[Show Notes Link] Direct download link This is a jam, packed episode of the RadioZoom Podcast with music all found on the PodSafe Music Network. I took a dive into the directory and plucked out tracks by artists that I thought were pretty good to my liking. I tend to get picky about the stuff I listen to without being overly judgemental about techiniques and what not. I just have to like it. Plain and simple. Not too much of me talking about anything except the artists that I’m playing for you. And if you like any of them, check out their websites for lots more info. – Ester Drang – come back alive – Darcy Fray – murder in bombay – Delphinium Blue – boy seventeen – Paula Toledo – break it down – Anji Bee – love me leave me – Fresh Sunday – not a ghost Please send an email or audio comment to radiozoom [at] gmail [dot] com.

RadioZoomRZ#38 – 09.22.2005[Show Notes Link] Direct download link Things are changing… I think that I’ll let this episode speak for itself, but I will have to call this an end to the label of an “Iowan podcast”. A very personal episode explaining a shift in my life and the future that is to come. All the music in this episode is that of artists that called Iowa home at one time or another. The podcast shouldn’t end. However, it will change because there’s really no way to prevent that. – Speed of Sauce – your voice – Dick Prall – barely moving – Burn Disco Burn – problems replacing problems – Alto Heceta – when autumn leaves Please send an email or audio comment to radiozoom [at] gmail [dot] com.

A low down on what’s been keeping me busy. I have to say though, this episode has mostly music to it. Look for more interesting things to come in the future.

I was heading home to visit my family today, so in a last minute flurry, I threw together the equipment to do this episode from the car. The audio might not be the best, but it’s my first shot at trying something like this. Just a random assortment of commentary about whatever comes to mind and a chance for you to get to know me more.
