Talking Beards

   The 2017 World Beard and Mustache Championships were held in Austin Texas this past weekend. This was the greatest event I have ever attended and I have never had so much fun in my life.  It was a complete sensory overload for me as I saw so many incredible beards and mustaches, made new friends, and connected with many old friends I have made from previous competitions.  There was so much to e...

 The Child wanted to discuss his recent surgery which led us into a conversation about dealing with fear. The conversation changed tempo when Bald Faced Josh brought up his cancer scare a decade or so ago and really took a turn for the worse as we explained the severity of The Childs procedure.  I have never laughed harder as everything unfolded and we ended up with a angry Bald Faced co-host.  Be...

I met up with Ryan Hardon from the Rocky Moutain Beard and Mustache Club to talk about getting ready for the documentary he is going to be a part of. Bearded: an Ode to the Beard, is a documentary that is covering the journey of 4 bearded fellas riding their motorcycles over a thousand miles in 24 hours from Ft. Collins Colorado to Austin Texas for the World Beard and Mustache Championships. We ta...

As you may notice Episode 34 is missing.  Actually, there are 2 finished versions, Ep.34 and Ep34.3, that will probably not be released due to sensitivity issues, but the content of the episodes was about the loss of two young men and the impact it had on us.  Bald faced Josh and I used the podcast as a way to express our feelings and get out much needed thoughts and emotions.  What came across wa...

    Spring has sprung, unless you are south of The equator!   The information you are about to hear can help all of you as we go into Springtime and deal with pollen and allergies.   Most people suffer from seasonal allergies and have a hard time getting them under control.   Each year is "the worst year" and we deal with it as best as we can.   A few years ago my eyes were opened to how my beard...

    How does one get into competitive beard and mustache competitions???  As the great Geauga County Maple Festival is about to kick of in Chardon OH, I reflect upon where I got my start in the beard and mustache culture. It was my first competition many years ago and lead me to many great places and to meet some great people from all over the country.  I thought I would ask a couple of other Mapl...

     This past weekend I attended the 10th annual Mustachio Bashio and there was an ocean ofmustaches of all types to be seen!  I have attended the past three years and look forward to this event as I have made some great new friends.  There were many mustaches of all shapes and sizes on participants as well as some interesting beards thrown into the mix of this celebration of facial hair.   Voted...

  What a fun day meandering among some interesting characters and bearded folk!  I meet some of the most interesting people at these types of events, I guess that is why I try to go to as many as I can and meet the people!  Wizard World Comic Con came to Cleveland March 17th-19th for it's third appearance at the Cleveland Convention Center.  There were a ton of comic, sci-fi, role-playing, pop-cul...

The Whiskerina Council was just announced so I reached out to Director Jodi Mitnick to get the scoop.  We were also joined by Event Liaison Amy Roberts and discussed what the newly formed Council hopes to achieve, the other appointed members, and other silly things.  We bounced around in this fun conversation and covered many topics from what a Whiskerina is, where the name came from, charity work...

I have been having a real tough go at it lately.  To be honest, I am frustrated with life and have been having second thoughts about continuing on with the podcast.  I enjoy making the podcast for everyone to listen to but sometimes I wonder what cost it has to my personal life.  It is my only outlet, my only creative endeavor that I have in my life.  Being a father and husband take a lot of time...

Episode 26-ATTITUDE and living life...      Over the past few weeks I have been noticing something a bit more around me, attitude.  Attitude seems to be a major influence in life and can effect our moods, and our way of life.  Attitude also influences others and tends to pull those that are like-minded in their direction, a "magnetic" kind of attraction.  Sometimes a toxic attitude can pull you do...

   2016 went out with a BANG!!!  What a great first year for the podcast and all the great new people I have met because of it!  With the few weeks I have taken off from producing episodes I had some time to reflect upon the year I had and try and find new ways to make better shows for the listeners.  I hope 2017 finds many new beards and mustaches enjoying all these new episodes that I am excited...

2016 is rolling to an end.   What a year it has been for the podcast and my involvement within the bearding community.   When I first got involved in the bearding community about 5 years ago, I didn't realize how involved communities and charities everyone participates in.   As I wrap up the first year of The Beardcaster podcast I will end on a few events that I have attended over the past few wee...

          Write here...                  There is one night a year when the mythical creature known as the Krampus comes out.  It is called Krampusnacht  and happens on December 5th.  Though the event I attended happened a few days earlier, I found myself at Annabell's in Akron Ohio for their annual KRAMPUSNACHT which found a gaggle of Krampuses, or also maybe refered to as a pride of Krampi, para...

Bald faced mortal, Josh, and I sit down with The Child to talk the Cleveland Indians in the World Series and Donald Trump amongst other things.   The conversation began with us going over the Cavaliers Championship and which would have been more important, the World Series win by the Indians, or the Championship from the CAVS.   Finding out what it is to be American and our preference in pie or ca...

  In this election year of 2016, our country faces one of the worst political showdowns in the history of America.  Each candidate seems to only be fueling a fire of rage from their opponent and doing nothing but throwing punches and accusations at each other.  The media seems like it only wants to be the ringleader of this 2 person circus and only focus on what these two clowns are wanting to do...

Beards for Beasts is only a few weeks away so The Beardcaster, and special guest co-host Anthony "The Stache" Fontes, sat down with the Steel City Beard and Mustache Club president Andrew Miscowiec to get the lowdown on the 4th year of this fantastic event.  Held at the beautiful Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, PA the event is once again benefiting the Animal Rescue League & Wildlife Shelter and Hell...
