I've been trying for a long time to find an excuse to have this guest back on the show. I'm excited to welcome back singer and podcaster Ray Harkins. He's the host of the '100 Words Or Less' podcast and he's the frontman of the new hardcore band Bloodguilt. Bloodguilt kind of popped up out of nowhere. I just started seeing Ray posting about it on social media one day and I was shocked. But the music is great. It has a sense of urgency and it feels like it needs to be heard. In this conversation, Ray and I discuss how Bloodguilt came together, what it's like to grow up in the hardcore scene, and how important the recommendations your friends make on social media are.

The kids are alright…or are they? This week, the guys welcome special guest Ray Harkins (100 Words or Less podcast) for a chaotic ride through bizarre Oreo and Dr Pepper flavors, a heartfelt RIP to the one and only Gene Hackman, and a debate that has plagued mankind for centuries: Ska vs. Swing.

If you get too cute, too kitschy with it, that could turn people off in the wrong way where they actively dislike the brand.” Ray Harkins, Senior Account Executive, Wondery The world's only podcast solely dedicated to audio ads is back! Presenting Ad Infinitum Season 2, Episode 4 - "Scary Ads." Context is everything for ads, but what do you do when the podcast is fiction? How do you put your ad in the middle of a story and not feel like an uninvited guest? Ad wizard and Host Stew Redwine (VP, Creative Services, Oxford Road) welcomes scripted podcast experts, Nathalie Chicha (Producer, I Hear Fear) and Ray Harkins (Senior Account Executive, Wondery) to find out. Join Stew, Nathalie, and Ray as they dive into the best and worst of ads with scripted audio and break down spots from scripted advertisers like BetterHelp, Dave, and (controversially for Ray) Twizzler. What lessons can the CAO learn from these audio allstars before venturing into these scripted waters?

I have always admired Ray Harkins's career in podcasting. He started out at Midroll, the posterchild company for podcasting. Then he moved to Stitcher and is now the West Coast Lead Podcast Strategist for iHeartRadio. I really wanted to dive deep into the growth and evolution of podcast advertising with Ray because he has been pivoting in the industry for so many years, staying in tune with dynamic and programmatic developments. We talk about the major changes he has seen over the years, as well as what development is coming. We collectively gush over our love of host-read ads and why the future of podcast advertising is dynamic. Ray also shares some honest advice to brands and podcasters about succeeding in ad sales and why authenticity matters. Connect with Ray on Linkedin or listen to his podcast 100 Words Or Less: The Podcast. Contact Heather on LinkedIn if you want to advertise with True Native Media's podcasts.

If you're anything like me you listen to podcasts and end up having follow up questions or comments for the guests and hosts. I'll be sitting in my car thinking, "Wait....I want to know more about that!" This episode is giving me an opportunity to ask those questions. Today I'm catching up with Ray Harkins. He's the singer for the hardcore band Taken but also the host of one of my favorite podcasts, 100 Words Or Less. It was a pleasure to catch up with Ray and to chat about the hardcore and heavy music scene for a bit. I'll be honest, my involvement in the scene has dwindled a lot over the last few years but I still have so much love for it. It felt good to go down a rabbit hole with Ray.

Today's guest is Ray Harkins of the 100 words or less podcast. I've been a fan of his show for a little while now and figured I'd see if I could get him on here for a little collaborative type of episode. His show focuses on mostly metal and hardcore musicians around the world. So if you are looking for a new podcast to add to your music rotation definitely check it out. By the sound of it Ray's been running his podcast for the about last 9 years and is about 400 episodes deep now. He also has a band called “Taken” which has a new EP out called “Without Regard To.” The album delves into his wife's battle with cancer, which thankfully she is now in remission from. I featured his song “Regret" on this episode.

Also we have Michael seeing the band on the “Sprite Liquid Mix” tour in 2002, a totally sick Mountain Dew commercial featuring Hoobastank and a pre-fame Channing Tatum, and a song meanings comment about one young man’s potential to save the world.

Ray's podcast is wonderful. That's the most important thing you need to know about this interview. The other thing you should know is that we recorded this over Skype and I think it's the best a Skype interview has turned out for me. He's a really down to earth, intelligent dude whose interviews are insightful and really engaging. I first came across his podcast when I began The Curator, and I've been a fan ever since.We've interviewed a lot of the same people, but our approach is markedly different – he's interested in the way that DIY and punk culture has influenced the lives of the people he's spoken to, a list of folk that extends beyond musicians. I mean, he's even interviewed Roman Mars for God's sake, what more could you ask for?He's also a musician himself and sings in a really great hardcore band called Taken, which I recommend checking out. I feel like we really hit it off in this interview. Our ethos and passion comes from very similar places, and it was awesome to connect with someone whose mind is just as curious as mine. He's a fantastic guy, an awesome podcaster and a pretty great vocalist too.The most impressive thing to me about his podcast 100 Words or Less is how it stands as something of a testament to hard work. He's been doing his thing for over 6 years now, turning up with a new episode every single goddamn week, building a fanbase from the ground up.I've had a few people ask me about starting a podcast, and my first piece of advice is always to simply get going. Just start. Don't let anything hold you back. It's only after I offer this advice that I realise that what I should actually be saying is that you must ensure you love your idea enough that you stick with it. Like any creative endeavour, podcasting is unlikely to lead to success and riches. I'm not saying that it can't, and in time it is certainly possible that a podcast will provide some kind of income (I'm not there yet, I hasten to add), but that will only happen if you stick at it. Once you realise that, once you decide you're in it for the long haul, then you're ready to begin.Ray stuck at it. He's turned up every week for six years. He loves his subject enough to do that, and so must you. Once you get started, everything else can be worked on, but passion, that'll be the fire that keeps you warm on your podcasting journey. I hope you enjoy this interview. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, host James Shotwell sits down with fellow podcaster Ray Harkins for what we've decided to call 'Crossover Week.' Having appeared on Ray's show, 100 Words Or Less, James now asks Ray about his life and career. They touch on growing up in California, falling in love with music as an only child, and learning to embrace the strange, yet magical world of podcasting.

On this episode we are joined by Ray Harkins, host of the "100 Words or Less" Podcast. 

So, to "celebrate" the 25th episode of the show...I wanted to let people in on my life and who I am for better or worse. With the help of my good friend Scott Arnold, he interviewed me about advice to pass to younger generations (aka: my kid), my upbringing in Vegas and the breakup of Taken. Hope this isn't too self indulgent, and if it is...deal with it.
