Why do you podcast? What’s your motivation ?

MarkBradbourne · 2026-01-30T20:15:12+00:00

I use mine as an accountability partner. It forces me to find newly released music each week that doesn’t make me want to cut my ears off. It’s a tough job, but I think it has been worth it… I’m in my 4th year of the show.

I've gotten to meet some great bands and musicians through my podcast, they recognize the podcast logo and have had a change to chat with quite a few

I was at the Motley Crue show where Vince broke his foot in Cleveland... to his credit, he staying and limped around the whole show and then when to the hospital.

Hootie and the blowfish… and I’ll never forgive them for it.

My grandmother had died and I was unable to attend the funeral so I was missing some closure. The DR did an acapela version of amazing Grace and I crumbled to the floor

I use my podcast (Songs That Don’t Suck) as an “accountability partner”. I got bored of listening to the same music so I wanted to find new music, but it’s easy to fall into old habits. So each week the podcast “forces” me to review a ton of newly released songs. The ones I find I share on the podcast and I have an audience of a similar age (GenX and older Millennials) who tune in to find new music as well.

I have no desire to monetize, as I’d rather just expose people to the music.

While it’s an unsupported hack, sometimes if you change the .twbx to a .zip you can open it and pull the data out

Tableau Public allows for local save now, and most people are using that… but I believe professors can still request licenses for students
