Hobby Time in the Murder Basement

Have you ever thought to yourself, "do I still need religion?" We definitely have, join us to hear what we think about the state of modern spirituality.

We are coming at you at the crack of dawn, getting that worm, because we are back in the saddle again, and we are talking about what it is like revisiting an old hobby friend.

Have you ever felt like content creation is too good to be true? It is because it is. Sorry everyone has glamourized it to a point where we can't enjoy the simple things of life without thinking of ways to monetize it.

Are you feeling burnt out, and want to start something new? Hang out with Trenton and Heath as we talk about the right way to start a new hobby.

Heath and Trenton talk about being in the deep end of hobbies.

Heath and The Sauce chat about being Jack of All Trades or a Master of One.

Hey friends, I am going to be posting the first few episodes of our new show here. If you like them, you should follow the main page, and give us a sub on YouTube so we can get more visibility. Thanks!

I somehow missed uploading this episode, so I am so sorry.  

I give you all an insight into where I am at, and where the show is heading.

Gavin is a great dude, and I was glad to talk with him about his journey through the OSR.

https://www.youtube.com/user/EonsOfBattle https://www.patreon.com/eonsofbattle Jay and Nick have been at YouTube since they were 13 years old, and have made Warhammer and mini painting content their life long goal. I always love hearing what Jay has to say about the hobby, so it was great to get to sit down and talk with them.

https://www.twitch.tv/brushforhire http://brushforhire.com/ When I heard the rumors of a streamer who paints for 9 hours a day, I couldn't believe it, and then I realized that the rumors were true. Brushforhire paints a prolific amount of minis per week, and does it all for everyone to see. I get up in the morning and go to work and start framing, he gets up and starts painting. It is damn impressive. Now, throw on top that he is a super cool dude, one of the most patient streamer I have ever watched, and loves helping people in the community get better at their hobby. I hope you get a chance to catch him live, it is a treat.

https://www.instagram.com/figuratively_speakingminis/ https://linktr.ee/FigurativelySpeakingMinis I met Courtney in a Discord channel, and we both instantly got each other. I had been following her on Instagram, but this was the first time I interacted with her. I was really struck by how positive she was, and completely genuine, so I got her on the show to get to know her better.

https://www.instagram.com/metal.af.miniatures/ http://www.metal-af.com/ https://www.cgtrader.com/metalaf Ben Kantor changed the way I look at volumetric lighting when it came to miniature painting with his piece Slambo, which you can see on his blog site above, and has continued to push the boundaries of how we perceive the artistry of miniature painting. Talking with him was very refreshing as we discuss the more nuanced attitudes toward this budding artform.

Min/Max was one of my earliest guests on the show, and her and I were still trying to figure this whole thing out. I am so happy to get her back on the show, especially now that I have the format figured out. She is one of my longest mini painting friends, and we have been through a lot. We talk about breaking into twitch and the highs it brings, but also the differences between male and female streamers. It is a very interesting episode that I am thrilled to be able to share with you. https://www.twitch.tv/minmaxminis https://www.instagram.com/minmax_minis/ Check out my merch! https://teespring.com/stores/htitmbSupport my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/HeathaldrichCheck out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

Two new YouTubers talk about how hard it is to grow a channel. I feel very fortunate that I met Alex when I did, because he was not feeling the love. By the time we finally got to talk, his luck had changed, and Frog Lane Studios was starting to pick up steam. As I type this now, he has surpassed me in the number of subscribers, and I couldn't be happier for him, it is well earned. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBuEdH2AbTRdDkVg8OPg9Ug https://www.patreon.com/froglanestudio Check out my merch! https://teespring.com/stores/htitmb Support my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Heathaldrich Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

When I woke up to a message from Trent that he had a few hours to chat, I jump at the chance, so if I am more rambly then other times, it is because I just woke up :) Miscast is one of the best hobby YouTube channels in the game for multiple reasons. His honesty, his creativity, and the lessons that come with trying something different are so important in this day and age. I highly recommend you checking him out if you haven't, it might just change the way you look at the hobby. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUtsRCYEE-hCPsftezm9wzA https://www.patreon.com/miscastterrain Check out my merch! https://teespring.com/stores/htitmbSupport my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/HeathaldrichCheck out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

https://www.twitch.tv/cutthroatcure I met Devon when he was heading the #MayTheBust movement on Twitch, which was a fantastic time, and exactly what I needed to get back into painting on a daily schedule.

Historical wargaming has always fascinated me, but has always seemed a bridge to far for me to get into. While I like history, my empathic self is too sensitive for the deep dive of knowledge that comes along with historical wargaming. Steve and Tony from Little Wars Tv, a very cool YouTube channel, sat down with me and talked why they like historical wargaming, and answered some really hard questions about how to grow such a niche portion of the hobby. https://www.youtube.com/c/LittleWarsTV/featured https://www.patreon.com/littlewarstv Support my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/HeathaldrichCheck out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

Earlier this year, I got myself a copy of Escape the Dark Castle, and instantly found myself sucked into the world of OSR TTRPGs. It didn't take me too long to find Justin, as Severed Books uses Kickstarter like it is going out of style. He has found the freedom of owning his own IP while reaching a broad audience through Kickstarter, and every other month, seems to have very successful campaigns.

Duff is a streamer who I have have been orbiting for a while, so I was thrilled when we had a chance to sit down and chat with him. To be honest, Duff reminds me of a family member who I haven't seen in a long time. We had very similar upbringing, got into metal in the same era, and like all things chaos. Duff has recently started making YouTube videos, as well as rocking a successful patreon, to make him the triple threat of content creation.

If you are like me, you have been swept away by the Squidmar craze. When Emil hit the scene, he dominated it unlike any other channel than I have witnessed. In under 2 years he has built a huge YouTube channel, a fantastic community of hobby enthusiasts, and has launched one of the most successful Kickstarters I have ever seen on the miniature side of the hobby.

I think I said the name of Lauren's studio wrong in my intro... I am an idiot. I first met Lauren last year at Warfaire Weekend by taking one of her classes. After I saw her portfolio at http://griffonsroostpainting.com/ I knew I wanted to take a class from her. She is also a commission miniature artist, so we had a lot to cover in this episode.

Midwinter Minis was one of the first YouTube channels I watched that used cool music for its soundtrack, so I was instantly hooked. It was a good thing that the content was as good as the music, because I think that has been a real strength of the channel. Once Penny was part of the videos, success was all but assured. Guy and Penny are so fun to listen to, and really make the hobby space a more health and happy place, and I was thrilled to have them both on the show. We cover all sorts of topics in this video, so I am excited to hear what you all think of them unscripted.

WE TALK FOR ALMOST 2.5 HOURS If you are anything like me, terrain videos are something you consume at a higher rate than most, because it all seems so attainable, but then you bust out the plaster and glue, get your foam all cut, and you realize that it is much harder than you expected. So you go back to YouTube and you search for the hits, and and almost every video topic you can think of, Jeremy from Black Magic Craft is there. You click on a few, and realize you have been doing it all wrong, and Jeremy has the answers. So you subscribe and binge Black Magic Craft's videos, and pretty soon, you are a better person for it. I had such a fun time talking with Jeremy, we have so much in common. This is a long one, and we get way in the weeds on running a business with YouTube as a main focus, so strap in, because we go there. here is a link to Black Magic Craft: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Rlv-ug-mtnXuMwlpcqFgg www.blackmagiccraft.ca Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

I first learned about Chris on an Interview with the Artist episode of Vince Venturella, and I was floored by his work. He manages to capture a mood and a scene unlike any other miniature artist out there, except maybe Roman Lappat. I found out that he was teaching classes at Warfaire Weekend here in St. Louis, and I knew I had to meet him, so I signed up and learned about color theory from him. There were only 3 of us in the class, so we took the time to joke, look at minis, and get to understand the man behind the art. https://www.instagram.com/chris_suhre_miniature_art/ Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

Scott the miniature maniac, or Miniac, is one of those channels that has been so cool to watch them go from a small audience to one of the largest hobby content creators on YouTube. To be completely honest and transparent, I was not exactly sure what to expect when talking to Scott. He is so lively and entertaining on his channel, but is more reserved and composed on the Trapped Under Plastic podcast. We had literally had zero interactions before our conversation, so I went in expecting to interact with the character, Scott the Miniature Maniac, but what I got was a humble Scott, a guy who really loves what he does, and takes his path very seriously. So, if I come off a little more aggressive than I usually do, it is because for the first time in my history of talking with people about stuff, I was genuinely caught off guard by him. We have a great discussion about the leap of faith it takes to go full time on YouTube, and we even take a look at the dark underside of content creation. Thank you Scott for chatting with me, I hope you want to do it again in the future, and this time I will be more prepared.

I first heard about Reiner72 from his work on the models from the game Judgement, which is ran by two brothers from Australia, so I assumed he would also be from Australia... I was wrong. Reiner72 is from my home base state of Missouri, and he is a great painter and very cool streamer. This month Reiner72 is pushing for Twitch Partner, which is a really hard thing to do in the mini painting world, so lets help him achieve his goals! Give him a follow on Twitch, and make sure you sub to his YouTube as well. https://www.twitch.tv/reiner72 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ekJvvqywd8RMHqlajYHqw Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

Jon Ninas has paved a path for himself in the miniature hobby in a way that was very inspiring to me. He wanted to talk, and hang out, he reached out to Scott the Miniature Maniac, and now he is on a biweekly podcast called Trapped Under Plastic with Scott, and is now one of the most influential miniature painters on the scene, even if he doesn't know that yet. Jon has an upcoming YouTube Channel that you should subscribe to so you can be the first to comment on his upcoming videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG7ErJtvi7Z4OiXSuAeKdZg Trapped Under Plastic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtZEJfdpBoQSuWccVyfvO4g Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.

After I interviewed Eenieminis, I reached out to her to find more streamers who I should talk to, and one of the ones she told me to reach out to was Mocha. Mocha is one of the most chill and positive streamers I have ever watched. If Eenie is full of sass, Mocha is full of... sunshine? It feels weird to type that, but it isn't wrong. I was so happy when our schedules could align to have out chat, because her and I had so many similarities in our lives, that it almost weirded me out. Stay through to the very end, Mocha has a confession that blew my mind, and made me like her even more.

It is not everyday you get to talk with someone who took the time to make your hobby time a more enjoyable event. Kit saw a need for a product, and used his skills to develop the Hobby Holder, which is used by almost all miniature painters out there. He has now had three successful Kickstarters to expand his line, and he is just a really cool person. We had a really fun chat.

If you have been in the hobby for any amount of time, there is a really good chance you have seen a photo, or heard of all the cool models coming out of Creature Caster. If you have been in the hobby for a while and have not acted on your impulses to purchase a Creature Caster model, you have done yourself a disservice and need to rectify this issue as soon as possible. Today I got to sit down and talk with Peter and Simon from Creature Caster, and they teased a lot of really cool stuff. You still have time to back the Canuckmera in the following link, you may need to change what region you are in depending. https://creaturecaster.com/us/product/canuckmera-creation-campaign/ Because this episode is coming about 5 days early to give people a little more time to get excited for the Canuckmera, there wont be another episode next week, but I will be back the following week with a interview with one of my favorite streamers, Mike Disney!

Brent and I had an awesome chat about his start in content creation, and how he managed to make his 55 minute video on Social Justice in the Hobby, it is too bad my mic wasn't working the entire episode. In the punk rock spirit of the Murder Basement, I decided to release the video as is, because I didn't want it to lose any of its magic. So, this episode is harder to listen to, and I am sorry, but Brent brings the heat, and I am proud to call him my friend.

I have been following Eenieminis for about 2 years on Instagram. I have always been a fan of her style, her bold use of colors, and the way she uses color modulation instead of just adding black or white to the paint she is using to get her desired effect. Recently she got picked by Kingdom Death to paint the Titan Bee, and it made me realize that my new goal of mini painting is to get as cool as her, so I can also get the Titan Bee from Kingdom Death. We get into some very real subjects, on this interview, and it is a long one, but if you stick around for the whole thing, I am sure you will find a conversation that will stick with you for a long time.

Vince is easily one of my biggest influences for mini painting, mainly because he taught me almost everything I know behind the brush. His Hobby Cheating series on YouTube is one of the most comprehensive tutorial series on the platform, and if you haven't watched it, then you are messing up. We talk about his intro to the hobby and how he developed into the painter he is today.

I belong to a Discord channel that is called the YouTube Creators Braintrust, and it is full of really cool individuals. They often do challenges all the time between channels, and I watch Miniocalypse paint a Bat Squig using only 3 colors in craft paints... It was insane. https://youtu.be/HXERKEX0JsI I told the group that I was interested in interviewing them, and Jamie was the first to reach out. He has been really enthusiastic about the Murder Basement project, and basically there since day one, so I was thrilled to get to talk to him. His videos may seem goofy, but make no mistake, Jamie is the real deal, and we go deep in our conversation in a way that most people are too afraid to with a stranger. It was refreshing. I really hope you check this one out, because it is a good one.

Thrilled to be able to speak to Kenny from Next Level Painting and The Long War fame. If you have been on YouTube, and you have somehow missed his tutorials on airbrush, you are doing it wrong. Kenny is the real deal, and is such a good human. We talked for only 45 minutes on the record, and then he just talked to me like a friend who he hadn't seen in years, off the record. It meant a lot to me to tell him thanks. https://www.patreon.com/nextlevelpainting

I met Jason last year at Warfaire Weekend here in St. Louis, we spent a lot of time bullshitting about the hobby, so it was great to be able to sit down and talk with him in the Murder Basement.

I feel very fortunate to have had a chance to interview Uncle Adam from Tabletop Minions. He is one of the most prolific content creators doing the miniature hobby thing on YouTube, and if you haven't seen his vids, you aren't YouTubing correctly.

I had a great time talking with Kevin. He is such a talented artist and and all-around good dude. Make sure you check out his streams on Twitch!
