If you haven't checked out The Downfall, check it out. Right now.
I'm not going to hold a gun to your head (because I'm not a government stooge anymore), but really and truly, it's a fantastic podcast. Conversation topics always revolve around liberty and voluntaryism, but they have a variety of guests, and between Jared and Dave, the conversations are deep and fulfilling.
I'm also not just saying that because they decided to have me on. It's not that, I promise.
This particular show that we did dealt with a lot of my background and journey to voluntaryism from being a hired gun for the state, cognitive dissonance, casting off people who use your beliefs as a punchline for their own ends, and how minarchy and communism are just differences of degrees. It was also the first show that I got to use my brand new mic and headset setup. Please, please, please let me know how I sound. I think I sound alright, but I might have some confirmation bias.

Same goes for the Seeds of Liberty podcast. If you haven't checked it out, you should.
I had the pleasure to team up with Dave and our mutual friend Jeremy on the Seeds of Liberty podcast later that week. We do like to ramble on a bit, but we talked a little bit about politics on social media, political vitriol on social media, my own science fantasy series here on Steemit, and consciousness-expanding substances. Also, if nothing else, you can hear us repeat the phrase "time-travelling Trump" three times fast. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on us speculating about how the entire United States might have been Biff Tannen'd by a time-travelling Trump.

If you guys enjoy either show (hopefully both!) you can visit the Seeds of Liberty website, or you can take a look at their Patreon page if you'd like to donate and support their efforts.
Andrei Chira is a vaper, voluntaryist, and all-around cool dude. Formerly a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, he now spends his time between working at VapEscape in Montgomery County, Alabama, contributing to Seeds of Liberty on Facebook and Steemit, writing short fiction, and expanding his understanding of...well, everything, with an eye on obtaining a law degree in the future.
Mic/headset sounds good to me, man. Really clear, sounds like everyone's in the same room just hanging out around a table. Only real thing I noticed is you're getting a plosive pop - that sharp sound you get when you say anything with a P, T, or B sound. You can always get one of those pop stoppers - those weird round mesh things that you see at professional recording studios. There's also techniques to get around it, you can get some good info here if you like.
Sorry, I'm a little bit of a voice-over nerd. ;)

No no! Please, any advice or helpful tips are welcome! I have one of those foam covers for the mic, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly where I need to keep my audio levels on my end to where there isn't any popping, echo, or any other distortions to the audio quality. I will look into getting one of those mesh screens!
Seriously though. Time-travelling Trump. It's like the jokes write themselves. :D

I got a good giggle out of that.

It's called a pop filter. If you want to get really fancy, use a reflection filter as well.

Listened to both and I'd have to admit that "The downfall with Jared and Dave" felt like it had more info. Time traveling trump was pretty awesome though lol.
