The podcast is now published onto iTunes so it’s time for me
to introduce myself. My name is Austen Hiatt and I am from the Pacific
Northwest. My days are spent pursuing outdoor
activities such as riding my dirt bike, fishing, hiking, mountaineering,
backpacking, or rock climbing. My
experience being outdoors is a direct result of my childhood. As a youngster, I ventured
out backpacking, and hiking with my father. My dog Sport normally goes on all my
adventures and is a great companion when I need to escape into the forest.
First podcast: As many you know, the
podcast that Mike and I created is now published onto iTunes. The first podcast
recording consisted of the discussion of our Mt. Rainier trip and preparation. Before
recording the podcast, we decided to go on a mountain bike ride. After the
mountain bike ride we stopped at the local store to buy some beers and reminisce
after the fun day of riding. It was after a couple beers (or more) that we
decided we were finally going to record our podcast. We set up the computer and
microphone in the loft (attic above garage) and decided to “wing it” and start
recording. Our late night podcast was finished as I nodded on and off between
sleep up in the loft.
The
next day after listening to the podcast I was a little disappointed by the lack
of organization and material within it. I will admit that the lack of sleep and
beer also probably didn't help. Needless to say, we decided to improve our
preparation time and content. If you have listened to our first podcast hold
tight as we get this whole podcast technique dialed in. We have a lot more ideas planned and eventually will have some videos for our viewers to
check out. Thank you for checking out
the blog and podcast, I am excited to see where this podcast takes us.
