Recording this weeks Episode of Shooting The Breeze was a little difficult due to limited time, but I made the best of it. Watching the show during the editing process left me feeling like I was as up-beat as usual, but I think the content helps pull me through. The show runs about 54 minutes [...]
This week I was presented with two options. I could either start recording the episode with disorganized and incomplete show notes, or spend a bit more time tidying them up prior to the recording. The latter option would have meant cutting it close and may have resulted in posting the show later than usual. As [...]
Pre-News Talk: Select a winner for the Walther Sub Companion Knife Received an email from a listener and ordered Glock: The Rise of Americas Gun Linking to the Gun Blog Black List Missed Hot Shots last week and can’t seem to find re-runs In The News: With gun in tow, Hazleton man educates public on [...]
I’m still trying to adjust to my new podcast recording schedule but I was able to sit down on Sunday and take advantage of a quiet house. The extra time to review and edit was nice for a change. The episode runs a little over an hour and is available in both audio and video [...]
Way back in the early episode of Shooting The Breeze, I sat down and put together a small list of podcast goals for myself. The objective was to keep me focused on producing content week after week. I reached my first goal after completing Episode 10. The next goal was to reach Episode 25. If [...]
This weeks episode of Shooting The Breeze was rather interesting. If you watch the video closely (or listen closely, for you audio folks out there) you can actually see me get sick during the podcast. In the middle of the first news story I had sinus pressure creep up on me and only get worse [...]
In this weeks gun podcast, I was given the gift of gab. That, coupled with simply being in a good mood, stretched this podcast out to roughly an hour and thirteen minutes. I followed the usual flow of the show, however, I added in an extra piece of news as I felt that it shouldn’t [...]
The holidays were both cruel and kind to my little podcast. While some much needed time away from my day job was great, I had difficulty prying myself away to work on the podcast. My trend of recording the podcast at the last minute continued and I wrapped up recording last night. The episode runs [...]
This episode comes just a couple of days after a very busy, and pleasant, Christmas week. Featured content and news were a little tough to come by so I used a pair of topics for each segment. I thought I was going to wind up short on time, which was fine by me this week, [...]
Can you believe that, together, we have reached twenty episodes? Twenty episodes may not seem like much but when you associate a week with each episode, it winds up being roughly five months of consecutive weekly podcasts. I can’t believe we’ve been at this gun podcasting thing for so long already. I say “we” because [...]
In what seems to be becoming the norm, I found myself with little free time this past week and wound up putting together my show notes for this episode at the last minute. In fact, it was so last minute that at the start of the podcast I had nothing to use for a discussion [...]
Going into this weeks episode of Shooting The Breeze, I was a little nervous. My usual single page of show notes somehow grew to three pages and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it all fit. Somehow, it all worked out and the podcast finished out at about one hour and [...]
This weeks Episode of Shooting The Breeze was both fun and hectic. As it has been the case for the last several weeks, I found myself sitting down to record the episode without a full set of show notes in front of me. Thanks to Joe from Twitter, I was given an idea for a [...]
In last weeks episode, in an effort to save a little time, I compacted the show a bit by only covering two pieces of news and two pieces of featured content. After watching the episode back, I found that I liked the way the show flowed with a little less content jammed into each segment. [...]
A couple of weeks ago I received some feedback in the form of a comment on the Shooting The Breeze Podcast: Episode 14. At the time, the suggestion went over my head and I didn’t see the obvious. From: Pablopistolero Feedback- Walt, enjoy the show but don’t like the size of your files. Fills up [...]
