Jared Polan Froonos Photo.com and welcome to Raw Talk episode number 42

to be named later because as always I don't really figure out a name until later, Steven.

We're going to get to Steven in a minute but let's do a preview of what's coming up. First off, I invited Ken Rockwell onto the show and he said, he didn't know how to use Skype.

Um, so yes, he said, I don't know how to use Skype. I like Ken, uh, I'd like you to come on.

Actually, it's not the first time I've contacted Ken about being on the podcast. I sent him an email a while back. I was like, hey, I've got some free time in the next couple days. Do you want to come on a Raw Talk podcast? She says, no, I'm too

busy. I'm playing with my kids. I'm like, okay. I'm like, I've got every day open for the next 365

days. Please pick one. And he, and he, you're not playing with your kids for once. Yeah, right. Pick one day where you got an hour and we can have a nice conversation about whatever.

got the Road microphones. These are broadcaster microphones from Road as well as the swing

arms, no studio arms, PS1. I want to thank Road for doing this. What? PSA one.

PSA one. Anyway, Road is a sponsor. I want to thank them.

Now, let me just explain to you how a sponsor comes about on the website or for anything

that I do. I reach out to them. They don't come to me and go, hey, I want to give you money

to do something. I go to them, hey, I like your product. Because if it was a product I didn't like,

I wouldn't be going to them. And I say, look, you make these awesome microphones. I already

own a shotgun mic, which Ari and I have had for like five years now, which we used a road

microphone for our Canon XHA1 that we had. And I know that they're great. You see a lot
