Greetings Podcasters and welcome to a Brazilian edition of the Podomatic Feature Series! This week we introduce you to HotMix Club from Sao Paulo, Brazil. HotMix Club is one of our many amazing music/DJ podcasts and is sure to pump up your bass. Influenced by everything from Novos Baianos to Whitney Houston, Reinaldo has what you need to get your groove back. Start your Podcast Here! Reinaldo had this to say about HotMix Club; rcleston.podomatic.com When, how and why did you start podcasting? "I started my podcast on September 24 2011, officially, this episode was a demo for 97 FM (radio station in Sao Paulo, Brasil). I wanted to work as a DJ on this radio and do podcasting for the possibility of improving my skills during my course at university." How did you pick a subject/topic? "The subject I chose because I love EDM. In my childhood, I listened to Gigi d'Agostino, Whitney Houston, Dj Sammy and others. I saw that the music disappeared with the time and I playing in my program this music to keep/save history." Advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet? "I'd say to record your first episode. This episode is the hardest because you will be afraid. After some episodes in Podomatic you see that is easy peasy.” What a fantastic story. HUGE thank you to Reinaldo for doing this interview and doing it in English! (Portuguese is his native tongue.) It’s a huge thrill to have so many podcasters from all over the WORLD, as part of our podcast community.  Hello podcasters and welcome back to another edition of The Podomatic Feature Series! This week we spoke with the buffest of all film buffs, The Film ‘89 Podcast. The crew has been reviewing and spoiling movies on their site film89.co.uk for years and in 2018, finally brought their voice to the podcasting world. Not your typical movie review pod, Film ‘89 deep dives into the concepts and methods of film making with expert guests from documentary producers to visual effects experts, illustrators and more! Check it out on Podomatic film89podcast.podomatic.com When, how and why did you start podcasting? “We started the podcast in January 2018 after a few of the guys on the site had cut their teeth as guest hosts on the brilliant @WrongReel podcast with its host @colebrax.” How did you pick a subject/topic? “With us, our podcast was always going to be centered around film & television as that’s the subject of the site we run, http://film89.co.uk. We’re all hugely passionate cinephiles.” Advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet? “Our best advice is to just be yourself. Being genuine counts for a lot. And also be judicious in your editing. Keep the conversation flowing and to the point. Editing out long pauses and hesitation makes so much difference to the flow of an episode.” Start Your Podcast Here!  Welcome back podcasters! To The Podomatic Feature Series This week, we spoke with DucksNPucks podcast to get the cold hard facts about starting a Hockey Podcast. These folks have been cheesing greasy wristers from the blue line since 2014 and always have fresh episodes for us hockey fans! Check out the podcast here! ducksnpucks.podomatic.com FB- @DucksNPucksblog IG- @ducksnpucks Twt-@ducksnpucks 1. When, how, and why did you start podcasting? DucksNPucks podcast was started in the summer of 2014 before the 2014-15 NHL season to compliment DucksNPucks.com which was started earlier in the year to cover the Anaheim Ducks and NHL through written articles and social media. The podcast gives fans a place to ask questions about the Anaheim Ducks and hockey. [It] was also designed as a place for news and hot topics for hockey fans. There weren’t many options in terms of podcasts that covered the Ducks. To this day there still isn’t an official podcast run by the Ducks hockey team. 2. How did you pick a subject/topic? The topic for the show was chosen based upon the DucksNPucks articles and social media that were already covering the team and sport of hockey. We also decided to cover the NHL and sport of hockey in general so the show wasn’t just focused on the Anaheim Ducks. 3. Advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet? The biggest advice we can give to someone that wants to do podcasting is to first find a topic that is big enough to develop a decent-sized audience. If the topic for the show is too narrowly focused, then it might be difficult to build a following. Also, do some research in regards to technology and test out the equipment before trying to record an actual show. In the beginning, we went through some growing pains trying to use different types of equipment and different recording methods. Start Your Podcast Here!  Welcome back to another edition of The Podomatic Feature Series This week we bodyslam you into the world of Professional Wrestling with the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast! www.podomatic.com/podcasts/tmptow With in-depth interviews, researched discussions, and a whole lot of DDT’s, you can't go wrong with this one. We asked John (co-founder) a few questions before he choke-slammed our intern: 1. When, how and why did you start podcasting? Starting the podcast was a well thought out venture, called the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling. We started the podcast in January of 2015. Originally, we would just record phone calls of ourselves talking about the business we loved so dearly: professional wrestling. We really wanted to do something in the wrestling business that was fun and wouldn't be a burden on us. It was more of a passion play or a labor of love for us. We wanted to do it because we felt like there were so many stories to tell about the wrestling business and more importantly the wrestlers themselves. We had agreed early on that this would be strictly wrestler interviews and that is how we would drive the show and tell their stories. 2. How did you pick a subject/topic? The way we would pick a subject (or guest) was fairly simple: interview anyone from within the wrestling business who had a story to tell. One very easy thing to figure out early on was that the wrestlers always had a story to tell. So we will interview wrestling legends, Hall of Famers, current stars, future stars and people who worked behind the scenes as well. Sometimes the subject(s) are very topical as they have upcoming shows, movies, projects, signings etc to promote. We have been doing this for 5 years plus, have done over 430 shows, and have no signs of slowing down anytime soon as the guests just keep on rolling in. Picking the subject (or guest) is usually very fun, but sometimes securing them for the interviews can be a battle. 3. Advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet? My advice for people that haven't pressed record yet is, you have to be very passionate about what you want to record. This is going to be your show, and yes you want it to be successful, but you have to love it as well. For whatever it is you decide that your focus will be, I also suggest that you do your research. Even if you think you know the topics you are going to discuss well, it's always a good idea to do even more research. As long as you love what your talking about and are prepared, you should never be intimidated to hit that record button and start your podcast. Passion plus research will ensure a great podcast that you will love recording each week! Start Your Podcast Here!  Welcome podcasters to The Podomatic Feature Series This week we are featuring The Dana Buckler Show Dana talks to people from the TV, about making the stuff on the TV! He has been podcasting on Podomatic for 7 years, so we decided to ask him a few questions. If you love Film, you’ll love The Dana Buckler Show on Podomatic! Thedanabucklershow.podomatic.com 1. When, how and why did you start podcasting? I started the podcast in 2013, because I wanted to share my life long passion of movies and the film industry with others. 2. How did you pick a subject/topic? At first it was all about movies, as the years went by, I added more guest interviews with Actors/Filmmakers. 3. Advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet? Stop thinking about it and do it! Know that your podcast will evolve with time as you record more episodes and most importantly HAVE FUN! Start Your Podcast Here!
