Show #184: The Cast of the Free Beer Express
By: Darrin Snider (darrin at indyintune dot com)Tuesday, February 17, 2015 5:00:00 PM
I've been a devoted follower of podcasts for over a decade now, and I will say my tastes have changed considerably. Originally I listened to a blend of podcasts, mostly tech and scifi related, but later expanding into personal casts and storyteller casts. Towards the end, I began delving into the freeform/comedy shows before that fateful day when I discovered the TuneIn app, at which point I dropped almost all podcasts not run by personal friends of mine and spent all of my waking hours surfing radio stations around the world. Why download a show made weeks ago when there are still plenty of live voices on other parts of the planet who would be happy to get a tweet from you and exchange pleasantries or ideas in the middle of their show? Thus, the push to move my own content from podcasting to a live environment was also born here at Indy In-Tune. Still, I sort of always harbored a desire to be on a freeform comedy cast like Free Beer Express.
This week's show featuring the cast of that popular local podcast, marks my third attempt at doing a show/interview with another podcast crew. These are nice little diversions, and I do for the most part enjoy them, but honestly I feel like I get my lunch eaten by them every time when it comes to quick-witted thinking and snappy comebacks. FBE was one of the first shows to come out in what I consider to be the "Renaissance" of local podcasts, which now includes dozens of fine new shows that have cropped up over the past two years, along with a fledgling "Podcaster Group" that hopefully will se a lot more success that the old Indy Podcaster's Guild did. Sadly, while the state of local podcasting would have been a really cool thing to talk about during this show, we pretty much devolved into a discussion of beer and podcaster war stories, which is sort of what we do in real life as well. Hopefully you'll enjoy those too.

Solicitations and Submissions
Solicitations for blog posts can be made by sending and email to "blog -at- indyintune -dot- com" and should follow these guidelines:
- Local (Indianapolis-based) acts always have priority.
- Visisting acts playing a bill with one or more local acts are also considered.
- We generally don't like to repeat content found on other sites. If your request already has a lot of coverage on other sites, it will be considered low-priority unless you can give us an exclusive angle.
- For obvious reasons, we don't do solicited album reviews, though we do appreciate you letting us know when you have a new release. Consider coming in and talking about the album yourself live on the air or a podcast.
- All of our staff writers are unpaid enthusiasts. All requests for blog posts are entirely at their descretion.
- As such, they generally need a lot of lead-time to put something out -- we're talking weeks of lead time, not hours.
- That said, individual authors have full authority to ignore the following guidelines and write whatever they want ... if you can convince them to.
- In addition, feel free to write your own post and submit it for posting as a "guest blogger." Those almost always get accepted.
- Finally, regional or national acts submitting without meeting the above guidelines are generally ignored. We're not trying to be dicks, but if you send us a generic form-letter with your press release, and it doesn't even remotely concern a local artist or event, then you're not part of our core focus.
