Paid Members BomberPat Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM Paid Members Share Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM  My brand new podcast, Bunkum & Ballyhoo, is all about showmen, con artists, grifters, hustlers and liars throughout history - from pro-wrestling to politics, and from the sideshow to pseudoscience, and everything in-between. Episode 1 is just a breezy 14 minutes, perfect for a short commute or a potter to the shops, if you want to to do either of those things while listening to me talk about fascism. It looks at Johannes Van Der Walt, the "Masked Marvel" of South African wrestling, who went from wrestling superstar to a martyr for apartheid and white supremacy. It's available in all the usual places - Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, etc. - so please give it a listen, rate and review, and everything else that every podcast encourages you to do.

RedTwoster Posted Thursday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:54 PM (edited) This fits perfectly into my journey home tonight, so I've downloaded it. Looking forward to hearing it Pat, it sounds interesting! Edited Thursday at 02:54 PM by RedTwoster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwoster Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Sorry for the double post! That was really interesting. I wasn't familiar with the story, and you did well to squeeze all of that into 15 mins. The audio - for me at least - had a bit of an echo to it, though. I'm not sure what you're using to record/edit - but Adobe has a really good AI tool to enhance audio and remove that kind of thing (https://podcast.adobe.com). It's only a minor issue though - I'm looking forward to episode 2!

Thanks for pointing this out- my new mic is ridiculously sensitive, and it seems like one of the settings that I was using to mask it picking up a lot of other noise also seemed to add that echo. It wasn't as obvious to me listening to it back on Audacity, but I can hear it on the finished podcast. I've tweaked things some more, and episode 2 should sound better.
