Valid info, reliable source, slight bits of cringe

Growing up in California during the heyday of glam rock, trash metal and west coast rap there were these certain types of folks who put on seminars to “teach” aspiring musicians how to “make it in the music business.” The focus was getting signed to a record label and becoming a famous rockstar — “monetizing” your band.

Dave Jackson reminds me of one of those guys now doing the same thing with podcasters and the School of Podcasting. Lots of killer information if you want to follow the crowd of podcasters who came before you. I listen to it for what NOT to do next.

There is one bit of cringe in the beginning that is so 🤮 it tinges the rest of my impression of Dave for the rest of each episode. Mind you, I DO listen to each episode. It’s well-produced. Great sound. Tight editing. But … in the beginning. When Dave says “Hit it, ladies!” … I just can’t. He couldn’t have just said “Hit it!?” This is so much like Mitt Romney’s “Binders full of women” it’s hilarious. Like, Dave has a harem of backup singers he allows to sing for him once a week, then back in the box?

Still, five stars because I’m not a complete animal.
