Beatlebob, I hope you finally listen to Episode 2 soon! Let me know when you do and what you thought of it! :-)

Thanks for the private message about microphones. Yes, I think the mics I was looking at are for professional recording studios, NOT amateur podcasting! That explains the crazy prices! LOL!!! I like these which are more affordable and cute!

I think the first one would be better for recording karaoke with and the second one for recording speech for podcasts!

Both look retro style! Cool! Thanks for suggesting some audio software programs for me too!

Since I'm sick with a sore throat right now, I can't talk well, so I won't be doing another podcast for a little while.

I'm still waiting for you and Mike Pell to catch up on all my podcasts anyway...

Now I'm determined to make my next one even better! 

Have a fab day, my friend! :-)

Hey Sadie! I just listened to Hep Cats Flashback Episode 2:

I Liked the Effects at the beginning!! Cool!! Then Sweet Sadie and Sweet Sadie Living In The Past. LOL! GREAT!!! ;-) And was that a short sound clip from The Donna Reed Show? The Tuesday Weld song I think I remembered that? And Shelley Fabares - Lost Summer Love, I remembered. The third song I don't remember? Then some Cool Effects you did with Run Baby Run!!! Then the song, I remember that. For You Love by Freddie and The Dreamers, I remember. Then the Coke commercial, was COOL!! The song after that sounded familiar, but I don't know If I remember that one? Was a Cool song though! The Two songs after that I didn't remember? Then The Beach Boys & Annette Funicello - The Monkey's Uncle, was COOL!! LOL! But, I Think it's the first time I heard this? I don't remember the two songs after that one? Herman's Hermits - It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning, I remember that one! :-) The one after that I don't remember? Keep Searchin' - We'll Follow the Sun by Del Shannon, I remember. Then that radio segment audio clip was COOL! "All Of Your Toys" by The Monkees, I Remember!! :-) Love To Love by The Monkees, I remembered too. I didn't remember the song after that one though? Sure remembered Poetry In Motion!! The Two songs after that sounded familiar. But, not sure?? I remember Where The Action Is, but not sure who did that song? LOL! I Remembered Both of the Elvis Songs!!  :-) I Like how you end the show...Goodnight sweetheart well it's time to go, then the piano part from The Beatles'  and the end from "A Day in the Life"!!! GREAT!!!! :-)

I Really Enjoyed Episode 2!!!! Of course I didn't know some of them. But, knew around 50 % or so of the songs. And I Loved the COOL Effects you used!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!! :-) I Really Enjoyed it!!!  :-)

You're Welcome about the info about microphones!! :-) I Agree, that explains those Crazy prices!!! LOL!  ;-) I Like those Two, as well!! And Much More affordable!!! Thanks for posting the Pics!

I think you're right about the different uses for those two mics! And they Do look Retro! COOL! I was reading some of the reviews on the Second one yesterday the Samson Go Mic and the reviews were very positive!! And the price is Great! And You're Welcome for suggesting some audio software programs for you too!!!

Sorry to hear you're Still sick with a Sore Throat!! :-( Hope that goes away soon!! And you're still waiting for Mike Pell to catch up on your other two podcasts, I see why you won't be doing another podcast in a while. Well, I listened to All Three. And I Enjoyed ALL of them!! Between the audio software programs and the Mic suggestions, I Hope you'll be able to fix that Voice problem soon!!! Because that's the ONLY thing that's needs to be better with your podcasts!! Other than that, They're GREAT!!!!!

I'm Sure your next one will be Even Better!!! Because each one of your podcasts got better than the one's before!!! Loved the Third One the BEST!!! But, Enjoyed them ALL!!

Thanks!! You Have a FAB Day Too My Friend!! :-)

I have the full list of everything from Episode 3 too, if you're interested... I've already posted the playlist for Episode 1.
I considered posting the playlists in the description area of my podcast pages, but then decided not to, so it won't spoil any surprise! ;-)

I agree! Episode 3 is hands down the best show I've down so far!!!
I really got creative with the commercials, special effects and stuff in that one.
I even enjoyed all those things as much as the actual playlist itself!
And it had The Beatles in it, so that automatically makes it a superior show, of course! ;-)

Still no requests yet! But it's great that I'm starting to gain some new listeners! That makes me feel proud!

I currently have a free trial of Podomatic Pro. It shows me the daily statistics and I was pleased to see more listeners! They all have different IP addresses, so it's not just myself listening over and over again! LOL!!!!!

So far I've only got one other feedback review besides you and Mike Pell... somebody on Facebook said:

I was glad to hear from at least one more listener! Great!!
You may have noticed that many of the songs I listed have a little star * next to them. That means they were featured in or have relevance to films or television. That was the main theme I tried to focus on for that particular episode.
I wanted to play some Rick because he fits into that singer/actor theme too, but unfortunately I ran out of airtime.My hour was already up. Oh well, I play him enough in other shows anyway! If it was up to me, I'd play him all the time! But then I'd have to change the name of my podcast series from "Hep Cats Flashback" to something like "Rickymania"! And I don't think as many people would be interested in that! LOL!!!! Remember that even if you request something, the majority of the show would still be surprise choices of my own.I can even mention you on air, and say something like "This one is for Beatlebob..." ;-)
And I could also say some information about the song(s) too, if you want!

I think my next podcast will be summer themed! That's a good idea! Hopefully my sore throat will go away or at least get better, so I can start working on it sooner! I've already begun to work on fixing that "fuzz" problem! It really is working! And it's all thanks to you and your recommendation of some software programs! :-)
Being a DJ is exciting! Can't wait to finally get a computer microphone so I won't have to use a smartphone to record myself anymore. Once I get one, I might even be brave enough to finally try karaoke on SingSnap too! Fun! ;-)Well I've got to go now, so I'll talk to you later! Again, thank you for listening! I really appreciate it and your feedback! Have a fab weekend!!!! :-)
