It turns out that I have a lot in common with my guest on Episode 71, Robert Cortez. We are both big fans of Halo, his involvement with Podtacular can testify to that. We are both big fans of podcasts, especially since we each have our own to manage. And we consume a high volume of entertainment news. Robert, however, also produces entertainment news with his group of friends at Sodapop Journal. Along with podcasting, and his website, we spend a good portion of this episode talking about the troubles print media is facing with the digital age. You're in for a fantastic conversation. Enjoy.

In an exclusive behind the scenes opportunity with Blunt Lancet roadie Jeff Mather, I bring you Episode 70 of the Just Talking podcast. Jeff opens up about his blog, his diabetes, his love of photography, and his hatred (not really) of certain cupcake shops. There's also talk about Motorhead, software development, and of course, the international phenomenon that is Blunt Lancet. Enjoy.

Sometimes planning a podcast doesn't go as expected and I have to scramble for a guest. Luckily I've met some pretty awesome people in my short podcasting life that will respond to my SOS if needed. One such person is Video Game Freelancer Raychul Moore, my guest this week. This episode of Just Talking is filled with talk about video game collections, action figure collections, cosplay, what defines a humbling experience in the gaming industry (and in life) and embracing your sexuality. We also answer the classic hypothetical question of what item or items do you grab first if your home is on fire, because that's normal conversation for a podcast.

All these topics and more await you in Episode 69. Enjoy.

With the Super Bowl right around the corner, I got a little lucky with the timing on Episode 68 of Just Talking as Will Kinsler, EA Sports Senior Community Manager, was kind enough to spend 90 minutes of his evening with me. Part of the conversation talking about MaddenNation.com, his origins with the site, how he helped manage its growth and ultimately how that site helped him get his current job at EA Sports. Another part focuses on his job at EA, how he uses social media to interact with the community and Will offers up his opinions on what it takes to succeed at his position. Finally, we talk about the Washington Redskins and why you should always check for trees in close proximity to a new home.

If you stick around after the final musical interlude there is some talk about fantasy football and I open up a bit about what makes my podcast...my podcast. Enjoy.
