- 20 - Podcasting - How to Start, Market, and Challenges
This week I get meta, check my mic, and tell you how the sausage is made: why I started this podcast, how I structure them, how I publish and promote it, and hopefully rekindle something to keep going.

I dive into the world of witches and witchcraft, which has seen a resurgence in the last decade. What does it mean to be a witch? What does practicing witchcraft look like? Is it harmful?

I try to figure out what really happened and what's really going on by learning about conspiracy theories, why they're so prevalent right now, and the type of people who rarely believe what they're told, and how often they end up being true.

I pin up pictures and articles on my wall, attach strings to pins to connect the dots, and try to solve some unsolved mysteries. People can't get enough of true crime and with the Internet and the speed of social media, it's not a surprise that people are taking it upon themselves to crack open cold cases and find clues that detectives have missed.

It's October so this month Im going to focus on more morbid hobbies.
I light some candles, turn on a fog machine, and try to channel the other side. I learn all about ghosts across time and cultures, study common ghost hunting techniques, and try to detect paranormal activity in my house.

I squeeze every mile out of gallon of gas in my cars to save some money and just because I can. I try some safe and somewhat unsafe ways of making my gas guzzling cars more efficient while trying not to be a victim of road rage.

I get the best seat on the sofa, a bowl of salty snacks, and dive in the world of super powers and cliff hangers with a stack of comic books. I explore the different eras of comic books, talk about discovering graphic novels, and how digital comic books changed everything.

I grab some milkbone treats, tell my dog he's a good boy, and give him a makeover. Through necessity, I learn how to groom my cockapoo, Waffle, and learn to respect groomers. I learn about the controversial world of creative dog grooming and its competitions. And finally, I try to figure out what dogs think about all of this.

I scroll endlessly through Reddit, the so called "front-page of the Internet", and go down rabbit hole after rabbit hole in an effort to learn something useful to justify the time I spend on the largest community-based site on the Internet. I talk about how I curb bad habits, including focusing and system thinking.

This week I grind medium roast beans fine but not too fine, I get the water the exact right temperature, and I use one of the many coffee brewing techniques to try to make the perfect cup of coffee. I talk about learning to love coffee in Cuba and my experiences with the classic drip coffee machine, a French Press, and Chemex pour over coffee maker.

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 - 11min - 10 - Hitchhiking - Travel and see the world for free
This week I learn all about hitchhiking. I'm curious about people who throw caution to the wind, stick out a thumb, and roll the dice on getting where they're going without getting murdered. Do people hitch out of necessity or is there a thrill to it that we're all missing? What about people who pick up hitchhikers? What goes through their minds?

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 - 12min - 9 - Climbing Everest - Dangers, Costs, and Climbers
This episode is a bit different. When I learn about a hobby, I set out to actually try it. Obviously, it's not going to happen with climbing Everest, but after reading Into Thin Air, probably the most popular account of climbing it, I had to learn more about it and the people who do it. Think of this as a book report.

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 - 14min - 8 - Element Collecting - The Ingredients of our Universe
This week, I learn about the hobby of collecting, why we collect from a psychological and neurological perspective, and get sucked into collecting the 118 known elements in our universe. How do you even collect radioactive elements or elements that are so volatile, they breakdown almost instantly?

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 - 08min - 7 - Isolation Tanks - Meditation Shortcut
This episode I give my senses a break to have a mental and spiritual breakthrough, or at least I try to, by giving isolation tanks a try. I'm not a spiritual person but I don't like the feeling of missing out so I try to take a shortcut to a meditate state by getting in an isolation tank.

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 - 09min - 6 - Autocross - Easiest way to race your car
This episode I get behind the wheel, go to a park lot and floor it through cones trying to not spin out. I talk about my history with used, German cars, learning to repair them on a shoestring budget. Then I take you along around the track where I spin, I forget to breathe, and I get a shot of adrenaline.

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 - 12min - 5 - Standup Comedy - Writing and Performing at an Open Mic
I try stand-up comedy, a hobby that unique in its impact on society and culture, and one where a lot people experience and think "I could probably do that". How hard could it be to make people laugh? As a huge comedy fan, I stumble on the dark art of comedy writing and write my first set. Then, I experience my first open mic.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 - 10min - 4 - Spartan Race - No training, casual runner
There are maybe a handful of hobbies more physical than obstacle races and the Spartan Race is the most popular. I underestimate the race, confirm what I know about myself, and learn about heat stroke the hard way. Learn about what makes the Spartan Race infamous for some and a community for others. Maybe you'll register for the next race.

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 - 15min - 3 - Hikaru Dorodango - Japanese meditative mud balls
I go hands on with Hikaru Dorodango, the Japanese art of making shiny mud balls. I learn where it came from, about its resurgence, and how to make them. I grab a handful of dirt from my backyard and give it a try, and uncover a myth I never considered along the way.

Thu, 09 Jul 2020 - 11min - 2 - Mooing - County fairs lead to reality TV
One of the more unusual hobbies, mooing. Making animal noises is strange enough but competitive mooing in the 80s laid the ground work for reality TV competitions. Find out how and see if you can tell the difference between cow and human - I moo twice, see if you can spot it.
