The perfect scam, a Craig's List story about concert tickets!

9/17/2021
In todays world of scams you have to be more vigilant than ever! But sometimes things slip through the cracks no matter how careful you are. Earlier today I was scammed by someone that posted a Craig's List ad selling Dave Matthew's Band tickets. Their concert is tonight at SPAC (7:30PM), the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. The tickets were for Section 1 Row J. Right behind the pit! AMAZING SEATS!!! I was one of the first people to view the ad after it was posted and I called right away to grab two of the tickets. It took a turn for the worst shortly after. The scammer called himself "Rich" and "Rich" was selling four tickets. One of the phone numbers he used was 313-878-7078. Listen to my podcast to hear the entire story in high detail. Everything unfolded earlier this afternoon. I want to help others avoid the same mistake I made, let's create scam awareness together. Sit back, relax, listen and enjoy! Oh by the way, for search engine purposes here is "Rich's" other telephone number involved in his Craig's List scam =), 770-906-2414. Update 12/12/21, I received a copy of the dispute and the scammers name is Deion Williams, his email is dw82ndairborne@gmail.com BUYER BE WARE!!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM!!! I have listeners ALL over the country contact me every week about this guy and how he scammed them out of money!

Flashback to the 80's and 90's

2/1/2021
Sometimes inspiration finds you when you least expect it. Join me in this exciting podcast episode as I walk us back to the era of growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. The pre-internet childhood and what we did for fun. Life was simply simple. I like saying that lol. Say it to yourself or out loud and you’ll feel it resonate like I did. The inspiration behind this episode came after a friend of mine rediscovered or resurrected his blog on WordPress called Totally Bogus Dude. I forgot all about a couple of blogs that I wrote on his page a number of years ago. I’m not really into blogging. I would rather talk, I’m a talker. That’s why I have a podcast. But occasionally I'll make a blog. Sit back, relax, clear your mind and listen to my show. This was a fun episode to make. Enjoy!

New York State Vanity Plates!

10/20/2020
A few weeks ago I was looking up vanity plates on the New York State Department of Motor Vehicle website and to my surprise PODCASTS was available! I had to get it. I could not believe that combination was available, I was shocked. Within a few minutes I ordered it and my transaction was complete. They arrived in the mail last Friday! They looked absolutely beautiful. This is the story about my vanity plates as well as other plate combinations I found that you may find very interesting. Oh, I also talk about how accomplished I felt taking the old registration sticker off and putting the new one on perfectly! Anyone that has done this knows exactly what I'm talking about lol. You only get one shot to get it on right.

Update For All My Listeners

10/9/2020
Here is a little update (while I sip my coffee) on the direction I'm heading with my podcast. I thought it would be interesting to share with my listeners and subscribers. My ASMR recordings have become very popular worldwide. So my primary focus will be making ASMR audio and incorporating them into my podcast. I'm also in the process of making a brand new website. I registered the domain name ASMRpodcaster.com a couple days ago. It should be finished and ready to launch within the next...

A Campfire and Train Ride

10/8/2020
What a beautiful night to have a campfire down at the creek. The railroad tracks are right behind us and the dark old rail tunnel isn't very far away. The moon is so bright, the air is so cold and crisp and the water is flowing pretty good in the creek from all the rain we had recently. With a little imagination you'll be able to feel the heat from the fire, the smell of the train and see the reflection of the moon as you listen and relax to this podcast episode.

Captured Rail Trail Audio

10/8/2020
Recently I took some of my podcasting equipment to the Rail Trail in Voorheesville, NY. It was a gorgeous night. Plus it was nice and quiet. The sky was clear with a big bright full moon and a great view of all the stars. There's a perfect little area where I can setup my stuff. A big pavilion and a little one. I was under the little one near the railroad tracks. It would be an amazing spot to interview people. It has a lot of foot traffic and bike riders. Maybe I'll do that in a future podcast! For this podcast I used the Aston Origin microphone, it's a high-performance cardioid condenser mic. Perfect for picking up ASMR sounds off in the distance and up close to the mic. It was my first time using this mic to record all the sounds. I made adjustments to the mic as I recorded.

Cobra Kai on Netflix is AMAZING!!!

9/17/2020
Cobra Kai on Netflix is amazing! It has so many moving parts. Tons of references to The Karate Kid movie from 1984. The writers have done an amazing job with the series. You can't afford to miss even one minute of this show. I have one more episode to watch in Season 1. This is my review and thoughts so far up to this point in the show. Special guest appearance by Bridget G. with her Cobra Kai commentary here at Huba Studios!

The Key West Story

5/31/2020
In this amazing podcast episode I cover a wide variety of topics. Such as the 2020 riots, SpaceX, futuristic ideas and the Key West story. I invited a friend of mine on the show today. His name is Adam, and this is his first appearance on the Huba Show. Adam has a fascinating story about his trip to Key West. I couldn't wait to have him on so he could share it with all of you. So give him a big round of applause! Sit back, relax, listen and enjoy as we close out the last day in the month of May.

The Aston Origin Microphone

4/30/2020
Here's a little sample of me talking over a Billie Holiday song on the Aston Origin. It's a beautiful high-performance cardioid condenser microphone. I had it plugged into the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface, no cloudlifter needed. Rich crystal clear sound. Hope you enjoy it!

RODE Podmic vs Shure SM7B

4/27/2020
I'm so impressed with the RODE Podmic. I had to do a review along side the Shure SM7B. Many people wanted to hear my audio samples with each mic. I decided to do a podcast so everyone could hear the audio and compare it with their own ears. Podcasters love giving feedback to other podcasters. Audio can be one of the hardest things to get right. Everyone hears things differently. In this episode I share one of my mic techniques if you have a "P" popping problem and some advice for podcasters. Listen and let me know which mic sounds the best to you.

New Yorkers and the Coronavirus

3/30/2020
On this episode of The Huba Show I discuss the Coronavirus and other topics with special guest Paul Z. from upstate New York. We discuss the changes to daily life since the pandemic started, cleaning poker chips, the i95 checkpoint at the Georgia / Florida state line, items out of stock and other interesting things. There's never been a better time in our entire history to stay home and self isolate. We have more to do now than ever before. Imagine it was 1980 and life without podcasts,...

A 3 Minute Podcast?

2/7/2020
Can someone become successful with a short podcast? When I mean short, I'm talking between two and three minutes long. I usually keep mine under an hour. I decided on a whim to make one with the voice memo app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The audio quality is pretty amazing compared to a lot of other smart phones. I use it all the time. I'm excited to announce that I'll be attending the podcaster gathering on Wednesday February 26th from 6pm to 8pm at the world famous Buzzsprout Headquarters in Jacksonville, FL!

Domain Names! Experiences, Opinions and Ideas

1/13/2020
Securing a domain name is the first step to having a web presence. Think of domain names as digital real estate. In this episode of the Huba Show I share my experiences and opinions within the world of domain names. I have been involved with domains on all different levels since the mid 90's, during the early stages of the internet. Also known as the information super highway. I love the tedious process of finding domain names. Thinking of which areas to search out, searching around words, using my imagination and creativity, finding alternate meanings to words, coming up with search patterns, new search methods etc. I absolutely love doing it. GoDaddy.com is where I buy all my names from. I've been with them since the 90's when they started. Back in the day before GoDaddy, only a few domain companies even existed. One of those was Register.com. I had the pleasure of visiting their headquarters in NYC back in early 2001. Sit back, relax, get comfy and enjoy the show!

I love Barbasol Shaving Cream and its signature sound! I've used it my entire life. Join me as I give you a rare glimpse behind the scene of what it takes to achieve a great shave. In this podcast episode I talk about a wide range of things as I brush my teeth, shave my head, edge my beard up, take a shower and splash after shave on my noggin and neck!. Yes you read that right. Profound thoughts and ideas await with a little ASMR. Turn the lights off, sit back, relax, listen and...

Napkins not included

1/8/2020
A week into 2020, has it lost its flare? I recently discovered Mukbang on YouTube. In this episode I attempt to put it into words. But let me be clear...no pasta was harmed in this podcast recording lol. I would never do that to fresh pasta. Whole wheat pasta can take a backseat as far as I'm concerned. I'll save that for another show. Get your ears ready, turn off the lights, sit back, relax and enjoy! According to Wikipedia: Mukbang, muk-bang or meokbang is a live online audiovisual broadcast in which a host eats food while interacting with their audience. Usually done through a webcast, mukbang became popular in South Korea in 2010. Foods ranging from pizza to noodles are consumed in front of a camera for an online audience. Based on the attractiveness of real-time and interactive aspects, eating shows are expanding their influence in internet broadcasting platforms and serve as a virtual community and a venue for active communication among active internet users.

New Years Eve 2020 Podcast!

1/2/2020
I'm excited 2020 is officially here. Maybe this will be round two of the roaring 20's? I recorded this episode with the YETI Blackout mic in my kitchen. It was spur of the moment. I set everything up about three minutes before the ball dropped. I like how it turned out. Sit back, relax, listen and enjoy! Welcome to a new decade! Now, let's take a quick minute to remember the past. The hoverboard scene in Back to the Future 2 was pretty much the ultimate tease as to what the future held. I've wanted one every since its release in November of 1989. At the time I was 12 and the wow factor to have a hoverboard was off the charts. As a kid, you felt Mattel made this for the movie as a way to introduce a futuristic toy by way of a Hollywood blockbuster. The youth across America thought hoverboards would be available in the very near future. EVERYBODY was talking about hoverboards. That is literally all I ever wanted lol. Keep in mind this was back during a time when skateboarding was huuuuge!!! So the impact this scene had on kids at the time was massive. If you didn't own a skateboard or at the very least a Vision streetwear tshirt or a copy of Thrasher magazine your cool factor was nearly zero lol. It was the equivalent of owning a smart phone. If hoverboards were real they would have turned a skateboard into the telephone book overnight. I still want one. Never give up hope lol.

Join me as I draw with my voice. I'll take you up into the dusty attic. A spooky yet beautiful place where the harvest moon shines through the window and onto the creaky floor.
