I finally got a chance to watch the Session I did at NamesCon Online. I don’t think I have ever gone back and watched a show I’ve been on. I’ve been doing TV shows and on the news for over 20 years and done several hundred shows, but I can’t think of a time when I went back and watch a whole episode. But this one was different. It got the most likes of any session and the most feedback of anything I’ve ever done. So I wanted to go back and watch it again and make sure that whatever the Hell I did, I want to try and keep doing it.
After watching it I come back to what I originally thought. Bill Sweetman. We made a perfect team. His questions were in perfect flow and brought out the best in my answers. He brought out the me in me. I have a lot of good stuff in there but it takes someone like Bill to get it there. And I want to do more.
I’ve talked about it for years but eventually I will be finally pulling the trigger. I will be joining the likes of Josh Reason, Andrew Alleman, and Keith DeBoer in the podcast world. Except mine isn’t about domain investing. I certainly am going to talk about it. I can’t help it. It’s what I love. But the interviews are going to be with business people, sports people, writers. Anyone interesting. Domain investing is great but its boring as shit to the rest of the world. In our industry 10,000 downloads for all episodes is a good number but I think I can get to that for a good episode with time, consistency, and a good guest. It’s a matter of getting good at my craft and having good people on. Getting good people takes time and episodes that show them that they are in good hands.
The show will be in long form conversation. It’s the only way to let the guest tell their story. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that long but no way it can happen in 30 minutes. This isn’t the news. It’s two people talking and having a good time talking about what they do and what they’ve done. The first guest is Bill Kara. Known for starting AddictingGames.com and then HallPass Media and then he bought back Addicting Games. It was a great chat and its been recorded, just trying to figure out the logistics of editing and how to approach the release. I’m working with Kevin Fink who will produce the show. Great industry person, great person. The work is not in the recording or doing the podcast. All the work is in the production. We’ll see where it goes from here but the wheels are rolling and like anything I do, if I can get it into a routine it will work and get better with time. If I can’t then off to the “remember when you tried X?” stories.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Looking forward to your podcast Shane.
Looking for to your Pod. I’m sure it will be top notch!
Looking forward to your PC. Coming from a former broadcast professional, I hope you highly consider: audio, audio…. and A U D I O! I’ve recently had to stop listening to a domain PC I’ve listened to for years because the audio (of the owner of the PC) is soooo bad! kudos to your new venture… I’m looking forward to the education!!
Thanks Marc. After our first recording we noticed my side was good but the guest was OK. Hollow because of the room. But great advice. Quality of audio makes or breaks the podcast
