August 7, 2013, 12:45p.m. CDT. Mark, via the ODB Twitter account, sends me a direct message, “How much do you know about the more technical aspects of digital audio capture and the like?”
My heart jumped in my chest. I knew exactly where he was going.
I’d been an avid podcast listener for years. Podcasts sustained me on long drives throughout my tenure at Baylor Law School, and I’d long dreamed of hosting a podcast about Baylor football and probably badgered Mark about it more than once. I immediately responded, “Thinking podcast?” He confirmed, and I quickly volunteered to host and produce it.
