Mike Dell's World

I talk about the fact that I have killed Podcast Help Desk (again) and am now down to doing 1 podcast (personal) and one podcast (professional). Be sure to check out Podcast Insider (podcastinsider.com) if you are interested in podcasting.   Lots of other updates. I This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!  

First off, I sold my Motor Home, bought a Pickup truck and talked a lot about car stuff.  I’m a poor car guy 🙂  What can I say. Got to go to Podcast Movement in Nashville Tennessee. It was good to get out and about for sure! Lots about the trip and not so  much about the podcasting part. If you are still using Apple Podcasts, think about trying a NEW app at NewPodcastApps.com !

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?” — C.S. Lewis Nostalgia – Used to be treated as a disease! https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/08/when-nostalgia-was-a-disease/278648/   Getting rid of my childhood tractors was hard.   Junk for nostalgia.  Like the TV show Hoarders, we can accumulate a bunch of crap...

Just a long overdue update. I talked about Eye surgery, Glasses, Kitchen remodel, Fast Food, US-31 history, What’s up with that, TC area history and the TC State Hospital. This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!

I talk about Eye surgery, new kitchen project, new (to me) computer for the ham shack and some “other” stuff.  Going around the circle on this Episode 360 of Mike Dell’s World Podcast This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!

Just a quick update to let you know I still exist. Also testing out some geeky tech stuff with the feed.  So I hope it works 🙂 Will have a longer episode this weekend I think. Let me know that you got this.  mike@mikedell.com This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!

I have a video feed now. It’s going to be a “VLOG” type thing. You can subscribe to it separate. They will NOT be the same content. Sometimes it will be video and sometimes it will be audio. I talked about my upcoming eye surgeries, Plowing snow with my 50 year old tractor, Restaurants in Traverse City and a few other things. My new video channel is here:  https://mikedell.com/ca...

I was working on a project and ran across some old Podsafe music. SO, to take your mind off the crazy going on in the world, I play a few podsafe songs and reminisce about the beginning of podcasting. You get to hear from Jim Farly, Josh Woodward, Adrinia Thorpe, Hot Buttered Rum and even my wife Kathy and Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff. Fun stuff. 20:15 skipto a random spot.

I got on my soapbox today about what is going on in the world. Relying on the Social media and mainstream press is not working for us now. Not sure what to do about it, but I”m done. You will have to just listen to see what I talked about 😉 *** Trigger warning ***  I got into some politics things. This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!

Just a quick update talking about Christmas and traveling.  Possible new car and the fact that 2020 is OVER very soon.  Good deal.

I goofed, this is MDW 354 Had some tractor stuff I did today.  Got the lights on it and promptly broke a tie rod.  Lucky I have the spare tractors to take parts off.  All is back working as it should.   I talk about wanting to get a Model A maybe as a driver car.  OR  a “zipcode” car.   Our Governer has extended the restaruant shutdown in Michign 🙁 Boo! Everyone have a Merry...

I talk about trying to find headlights for my old tractor and how it’s impossible to find them locally (at the right price or size). The ham radio stuff I talked about was the SMASH ( Sunday Morning Amateur Social Hour ) on 3935khz every Sunday at 9am.  (Local to Michigan / Ontario area) and the IOOK ( International Order of Krazies ) net on 7185khz at 10:30am (eastern). I also talk about Po...

I got a new (to me) 49 year old tractor! It’s a 1971 JD112 lawn TRACTOR (not a just a lawn mower). The pic is from the night I got it here. I’ve replaced the tires, put on Wheel weights and tire chains. Installed the snow blower attachment and got it all ready for winter.  I got all my winter stuff done because winter isn’t really here yet. It’s been a mild fall and it gave...

Just a really quick update after nearly 2 months. We had some Covid in the house. All is well now. The new Studio/Office is 99% finished. New podcasting things going on under the hood. I will be doing NaPodPoMo again this year on PodcastHelpDesk.com. Check out to see if I can put out 30 good episodes in 30 days.

In this episode I talk about the new studio, spotify and a few other things. Below is pictures of the contraction of the new “tiny” office and pictures of the Finished Studio (or almost finished) I have window and door trim and shingles on the roof to finish.  Also some more sound panels for the ceiling. But, mostly, it’s done.  I’ve been working in here for my day-job for...

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Quick phone update. Hope the sound doesn’t suck too badly

Update from an easy chair in a snow storm in Northern Michigan. Simplifying things that have become a personal pain the ass has been a good thing over the last few months. I've cut down the podcasting hobby to this show (Mike Dell's World), Podcast Insider and Traverse City Weather.     Podcast Help Desk will remain online and I *may* add episodes once in a while. I've cut down obligations in Ham...
