First Crack Podcast with Garrick Van Buren

Thanks go out to Julio Ojeda-Zapata for Podcast People, the most comprehensive article on the Podcast Minnesota community to date.

In celebration of First Crack’s first birthday, I’m putting together a show looking back. Since I’m way too close to it, I’d like you to tell me what you like and dislike about the podcast, what your favorite episode is and which ones were completely un-listenable. Send over all those hurtful and heartfelt statements you feel when you hear my voice. Think of it as a best-of and worst-of the First Crack Podcast as declared by you.

Email text and mp3 audio comments to: firstcrack@gmail.com.

Yes, I’m asking for it. All the ugliness. Send it over.

Hi all. My apologies for the lack of updates. Some sort of virus put the smack down on me earlier this week (it’s going around). My head feels like a bowling ball and the thought of talking hurts. Worst of all - I haven’t had coffee since Tuesday. Tea. Lots of tea and lots of tasty Green Goodness juices.

Jen just listened to Jon Share His Geo, and she said she liked the format - me being between you and the interviewee. Less eavesdropping and more This American Life-esque. What do you think? 206-20-BEAN-1 or email.

Thanks for sticking around. I hope to bring you another heavily caffeinated episode early next week.

In the mean time, check out something else I’ve been working on: WishRSS - it turns Amazon WishLists into RSS feeds.

Alright. Time for more tea.
