SCIFI.radio’s Gene Turnbow on TASCAM Talkback!

SCIFI.radio founder and station manager, Gene Turnbow

The tables are turned on SCIFI.radio station manager Gene Turnbow (get it? “turn table”? It’s a radio joke!) as he appears on the prestigious podcast for podcasters and streamers, TASCAM Talkback.

Host Bruce Wawrzyniak (pronounced WARZ-nee-ak) caught up with Gene at San Diego Comic-Con this year at the San Diego Central Library for his appearance on the SDCC panel “Heroes at the Mic”. In the interview, Gene talks about how he gets interviews with people who otherwise would turn you away (and why) and getting around permissions along the way.

Plus, he discusses how he went from gaming online alongside one hour of music on a loop, to having the only streaming radio station on the Internet doing Sci-Fi geek culture radio full time. There’s also a discussion of live versus automated DJ’s, and all this without a traditional brick and mortar station or studio.

You can also hear some discussion of the challenges of USB microphones versus XLR, and how music licensing differs between streaming and podcasting. He even invites content submissions!

If you’re a podcaster or audio performer in any way, you’ll find this podcast to be an invaluable guide on your way to success in the field.
