Pretty much everyone needs to be able to sit down and get a five-minute tutorial and be able to press record and go. We don’t necessarily have dedicated producers for each show, so the setup needs to be as simple as humanly possible. The other thing about it too is that we have a lot of people that will produce their own shows here. GarageBand has been working just fine for us for years so at the moment, we’re kind of sticking with that. But the other thing is, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That takes up the time that I could use to learn a new program-I need to devote it to the book.
We just got a book deal with Houghton Mifflin. Right now, our schedule is so tight with, of course, getting a heavily researched and edited podcast out every week. We’ve been playing around with Adobe recently, Adobe Audition, but I just haven’t had the time to sit down and really get used to it and really play with it. When I edit, we’ve still been using that old GarageBand for editing. They wanted you to use GarageBand for podcasts but then in the last few updates, they’ve turned it into a beat-looping program. We use the new one for recording but we use the old one for editing, because back in the day, GarageBand was geared towards podcasts. We’re still using GarageBand-I think 10.8-for all of our recordings. What program were you using for editing early on? It took us a little bit to figure it all out, but once we did, yeah. The last couple of weeks have been great because for the first time we have been able to record separate tracks. That worked well for a while but we just upgraded actually last week to a Scarlett 18i20. We were able to run the mixer into that and then run the US-322 USB into the computer. Those mics went through some hard times but they made it.Įventually we got to where we started using sound cards. I think the last original AT2020 gave out last year. We’re thinking about upgrading right now, but those things last. On the other hand, we’re still using AT2020s for voice and things like that. The other thing about it is that we were always working on an extremely tight budget, so we just kind of had to figure out what to do with the equipment that we had. That’s where I kind of got a start doing comedy stuff: recording stand-ups and things like that. Then I went to this other network called Breakthrough Radio. From there I went to East Village Radio as a fill-in guy. I had five years of radio experience before then and then when I got here I started doing work for The Onion, for Onion Radio News. KTXT FM 88.1 back in Lubbock, Texas, at Texas Tech. I was in college radio from my entire time in college. Actually about half of my life I’ve been in radio. Yeah, I’ve been in radio since I was 18 years old. Starting out, you had some experience in radio?
This entire medium is totally new.įor inspiration, we’ve kind of looked towards books like Our Band Could Be Your Life to look at what indie record labels did to kind of get off ground, looking at what they did right and more importantly, what they did wrong and using that as a template for what we’re doing.
Throughout the years, the thing about podcasts is that there’s really no model for it.
We didn’t necessarily do it on purpose: we just did it because we had to do it. You guys did this with a complete DIY aesthetic, right?Ĭompletely from the very beginning. We’re going to add the Adventures of Danny and Mike, which is Danny Tamberelli and Mike Maronna of Pete and Pete. I think, where are we at right now? We’re about to actually add a new one. Let’s see, Last Podcast is now at what, 12 podcasts?

I talked with Marcus Parks, one of the central figures in Last Podcast Network, about his experience in radio, making a professional production with next to nothing, and how to best serve a band as a drummer while you’re covered in blood.įor more on Parks' work and Last Podcast on the Left, check out their website here. If we’re in a new era of radio production (and we are), Last Podcast Network is that pirate station people flock to that the guys with corporate backing are trying to ape. Fiercely independent from day one, Last Podcast on the Left won the Webbys People’s Voice Award as a completely independent production, and Marcus Parks and company built Last Podcast Network, an enterprise spanning topics from celebrity gossip to nerd culture that attracts millions of listeners a month. Three guys talking about chupacabras is off-kilter territory for Reverb, but knowhow on creating a successful podcast with the right gear is a resource thousands of people are hungry for.
