Taking The Show To The Next Level

Hey everyone. I figured I would take a moment to thank all the new listeners who have joined us in the last month or so. I'm truly happy with the growth of the show since July and a hearty thank you to Rich and Dan for joining me as co-hosts on the last few episodes. \

That being said, I am looking to advance the show another level. In the next coming weeks, I would like to expand the show, to cover movie screenings and events as they occur. To do that portability will be essential in regards to recording segments. For that reason I am looking to obtain a Zoom H6 portable recorder. This is a professional grade recording device that will allow for great sounding content on the go.

To help offset some production costs, I have started a Ko-Fi page. Think of it as a tip jar. If you enjoy our content you can support the show financially by "buying us a cup of coffee". I am hoping to hit the goal of $375 for this campaign to purchase the recorder. If you cannot contribute financially, please just share this post to other and as always rate and review the show wherever you get us.


Looking forward to creating more great content. As always, thanks for your support.

Vintage Pop! Episode 8: The Guys from The Neighborhood: Diner/Mean Streets

Yes! I am alive if you were wondering. Apologies for hitting a snag in producing a show every week. School and everyday life got slightly out of hand for a bit. I was able to put a new show together though. Thanks to everyone who has still been downloading and listening through the past few weeks I really appreciate it.

This week, we talk about two great relatable films. The first film we will discuss is 1982's Diner, directed by Barry Levinson. A great ensemble cast in this one, including: Steve Guttenberg, Paul Reiser, Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, and Daniel Stern. Later we will talk about another one of my personal favorites, Mean Streets from 1973. This classic directed by Martin Scorsese, shows a slice of life in Little Italy in the late 60's/ early 70's. As always we will talk about some past and upcoming events.

Vintage Pop! Needs your help!

Now moving full steam ahead into the second month of the podcast, it is now more important than ever, to try and grow the audience. To the current audience, I want to give a great thanks to. It is because of you, that I have the motivation to continue the show every week. With that being said, I would like to ask for your help, to continue the growth of the show. If you have not already, please take a few moments to leave us a review on wherever you get our show. The biggest help of all, would be to leave an iTunes rating and review. With enough ratings, iTunes will plug the show, and throw it into a wider audience. Below is the link you can use to access the iTunes page.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vintage-pop/id1348212926


In addition, the word of mouth that has spread on the show also assists. Continue to do so, on Twitter and Facebook. Every little bit helps.

Again, thanks for all your support and I look forward to talking to you all again, on next week's program.

Stores from Yesterday

Do you have nostalgia for shopping malls, and stores that you used to go to growing up? This may apply to anyone, no matter what generation you grew up in. For me and my friends, the topic of 90's malls, stores, and other products are constantly talked about and remembered fondly. Since a show was just released, (last night/today) I wanted to share this link with you before I forgot. The following link is a post from NintendoAge that I came across. It shows stores that are no longer in business.

http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=108517

This has quickly become a hot topic, since the recent Toys R Us announcement. Toys R Us plans to close all of its US locations letting go thousands of employees. This is quite upsetting as it is, but it has definitely brought conversations about the nostalgia that we have for retail at the forefront. Take a few moments to check out some of these pictures on the above link. You may have some fond memories of some of the ones you see.

As a side note, there may be plans to institute some talks about 90's nostalgia into future side shows a few times a month. Stay tuned!

Vintage Pop! Episode 6: 1941 and The Perks of Owning a Betamax Player

Welcome to Episode 6 of Vintage Pop! In the interest of time, since I had another test this week, I had to throw something together quickly. So this week we talk about a film that has long been on my watch list, Steven Spielberg's 1941. We follow up with a chat about Betamax, and the perks of owning one. As always we end the show with a personal update, and some local events.

Vintage Pop! Episode 4: Pioneers In Television Ernie Kovacs/Joe Franklin

Wow! I can't believe this episode will mark one full month of Vintage Pop! It is amazing how much time can fly by, once you get the ball rolling with something. It seems that we have a small but loyal listener group so far, which is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to continued growth and sharing my stories with you. Spread the word, and together we can build a great platform to talk about some amazing topics. Big thanks for the continued support from family and friends.

This week, we will be talking about two pioneers of television in their own rights. We lead off first, with Ernie Kovacs, a pioneer of comedic television. We will discuss his career as well as The Ernie Kovacs Collection, that has been released by Shout Factory. On the other end of the show, we will discuss a pioneer of the talk show format, Joe Franklin. We will discuss Joe's career as well as his impact on the New York television scene, where he spent over 35 years of his career. As always, we will end the program with some upcoming events.

I can't believe we are now already at our third episode of Vintage Pop! This next episode we try something a little new, with our 80's Potluck episode. It is a little bit of everything, as we cover the 1985 film, The Legend of Billie Jean. It is an underrated classic definitely worth checking out.

Taking Care of Business

As we get the ball rolling with content production, you may notice a few new things on the site. For one.. We now have an Amazon Search Bar! Please use this bar for all of your shopping needs whenever possible. It would be nice to buy a piece of candy here or there with the money. Also, we are now on Podbean and currently in the process of getting on Stitcher. It is my hope, that the more locations we are, the more listeners can join in to the conversation. As always, email with any thoughts!
