No Market on TwitterIt’s been a few weeks since we’ve recorded a new show, but we’re back! And from our new studio.
- We have our first-ever No Market Radio in-studio guest in the form of Erk!
- Erk has been on a trip across America and he stopped at our studio here in San Luis Obispo before returning to Australia. Erk was also here in 2009 but during that trip, he stopped here first.
- We talked about headphones and our new studio, including Jen’s new microphone stand:
- Erk recounted his time on the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise.
- Then, Erk recounted his Amtrak train travels across America as well as a trip he took to Mexico City.
- Erk was a guest on the Afternoon Tea at the Aquarium podcast in Portland.
- From Portland, Erk went to San Francisco. While there, he got to ride a tram car that was originally in Melbourne.
- Erk bought a new microphone while he was in Portland. This podcast recording was the first time he got to use it.
- Erk flew from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo via Los Angeles. So, he flew over San Luis Obispo once before actually arriving here.
- After Erk arrived here in SLO, we had our first (of several during Erk’s visit) meals at Denny’s. Later, I went with Erk to his hotel so Erk could check in. LOLZ ensued.
- Then, Erk and I had dinner at Applebee’s:
- The next day, Erk and I had lunch downtown and visited some mandatory SLO tourist destinations:
- The following day, we took Erk on a grocery-shopping tour of SLO.
- Erk picked a song by Doro to finish out the show.
- Stay tuned for bonus audio! Erk and I did a Pepsi taste-test challenge to see if we could identity Mexican Pepsi, American Pepsi and Pepsi Throwback (AKA “Australian” Pepsi)!

Glad to hear that Erk enjoyed most of his trip. This podcast was a blast from the past. 4 years already? Wow. Sorry I haven’t been commenting so much lately. Things like this do seem to cycle. I have listened to every episode though for I guess over 4 years now. Over here in Monterey, we might get podcasting again. The podcasting bug tempts us (especially me) quite often.

No apologies necessary, David. I’m glad to see you’re still listening to our podcast! We’ve been so inconsistent lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone (everyone) unsubscribed.
And I hope you do start making pods again. I’ll definitely tune in. Also, we should have you on as a guest. It’s not as good as making your own ‘cast, but it might help a little when the pod bug strikes!

I’d definitely be willing to come on the show sometime. Just let me know when. I’m planning on getting my office setup with a more permanent setup. I used to have to move everything in place right before recording and cart it all away afterward.

It was so great to see you guys again. A highlight of the trip for sure.
I’ve listened back to this episode quite a few times when I had nowhere else to go.
