Just a really quick update after nearly 2 months. We had some Covid in the house. All is well now. The new Studio/Office is 99% finished. New podcasting things going on under the hood. I will be doing NaPodPoMo again this year on PodcastHelpDesk.com. Check out to see if I can put out 30 good episodes in 30 days. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

In this episode I talk about the new studio, spotify and a few other things. Below is pictures of the contraction of the new “tiny” office and pictures of the Finished Studio (or almost finished) I have window and door trim and shingles on the roof to finish.  Also some more sound panels for the ceiling. But, mostly, it’s done.  I’ve been working in here for my day-job for a week now.  Loving it! Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Just a quick note to let you know I will no longer be on Spotify with this show. IF you are listening there, please go to mikedell.com and resubscribe using another platform by September 7th, 2020. Thank You! Episode 350 will be next week. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Click on image for more info Did this sort of live via Zoom.  Had Shawn Thorpe ( shawn.mx ) drop by and we had a great talk about the issues with the current situation with Trucker, Restaurants and the Airlines among other things. We also talked about eSports and the fact that NASCAR is doing eNASCAR this week on FS1 network TV.   They are running a virtual race on the track they would have been on this weekend using iRace (whatever that is)   Should be fun seeing the normal broadcasters doing a video game race as if it was a real one. I’m thinking of doing a virtual Happy Hour thing a few times.  Stay tuned to my Facebook for into on how to join in ( facebook.com/mgdell )   Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Why are people hoarding Toilet Paper?   I don’t know.   BUT it is happening.

I talk about Social Distancing and why it’s a good idea ANYWAY.   Regardless of what is going on right now. Be careful out there! Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
