Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/511 Presented by: Daiichi Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors In this episode, we chat with Sam Carter of The River Radius Podcast to talk about how he started his podcast and how he got an interview with none other than Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia. Moreover, we'll delve into the topic of river etiquette, discussing the essential practices and principles that ensure the preservation and enjoyment of these precious natural resources. Sam's expertise and experiences will shed light on how we can all play a part in being responsible outdoors. The River Radius Podcast Show Notes with Sam Carter 1:23 - Sam takes us back to how he got into the outdoor space. 4:33 - His idea of starting a podcast started with a radio show. He grew up loving the radio and always listening to baseball news, and then in college, he became a volunteer DJ. He also volunteered in a radio talk show about rivers called River Radio on KJSD. 10:53 - I ask him how he chooses his topics. 33:00 - Just this year he did an episode with Leave No Trace. We also had them in the podcast in episode 363. 35:22 - We talk about the different ways of packing your poop like using a WAG (Waste Alleviation and Gelling) bag or the groover and disposing of them. Sam also tells us how he cleans his groover. He tackles more about this in his episode called History of the Groover. 41:20 - We dig into river etiquette. As someone who has been a ranger before, he gives recommendations on what to do when you encounter unruly people in the river to avoid conflict. 46:08 - He describes his tech and studio setup for his podcast. He also mentions the equipment he brings with him when covering a story outside. 53:00 - For the anglers, he recommends several episodes to listen to in his podcast where he talks about specific fish species. 56:50 - He highlights some of his favorite episodes which are as follows: 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow Highwater, Helicopters and Money What is a River 2022 Endless Summer series Rowing Home 5000 miles Kanawha Falls Rescue 2020 1:01:49 - He tells this amazing story of how he was able to get an interview with Yvon Chouinard. 1:07:00 - We do the two-minute drill. His absolute go-to music is reggae, particularly Alpha Blondy. He mostly rows and his favorite boat is the Hyside 10.5 Mini-Max. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/511
Sam Sethi is setting out on his biggest adventure yet. The host of Podnews Weekly Review and former programmer at Windows and Netscape, is launching Podfans; part of a new wave of podcast apps you can find here on the Podnews website.Over the last few years, podcast shows like Podnews, Pocasting 2.0 with Adam Curry and Dave Jones, and shortly after The New Media Show with Rob Greenlee and Todd Cochrane, began to talk about ways to improve the technology involved with podcast delivery. Think of things like sending money straight to the host or evenly amongst hosts, being able to follow along with captions, listening live when the show goes live, listening to podcasts created in your neighbourhood, and chapter markers so you don't have to scan every 15 or seconds for the part of the show you are looking for.In this episode you will hear about Sam's time at Netscape and Windows, how he got involved in meeting James Cridland and devising the Podcast Weekly Review, and what exactly goes into building a podcast app like Podfans, and why he wanted to ensure that there was a desktop component to it. You can register for Podfans here.

That's one thing the Americans can quite get from us unless they've been in the company of Brits for a while. So, we have three traits. We are self-deprecating, sarcastic and we drink like a fish.” (12:10) (Sam) “The businesses I did after came about by chance. I sold a business to Topshop, which is a female clothing retailer aimed at teenagers in the UK. It came out of my daughter's need to find cheap clothing from her budget that we gave her. She was trying to maximize her budget and I thought, ‘I can write a real-time pricing tracker for her.' So, I did. And out of that came another business.” (32:39) (Sam) “We're not a music radio station. We're more of a talk radio station. We have shows on wine, parenting, books. So, we don't expect someone to listen seven to seven. They dip in and dip out. It means we can build communities and tribes within each show.” (39:05) (Sam) “I get bored quickly. Three years is probably the limit of my interest in something. If it's not continuously moving forward, if it stagnates after two or three years, I'll move on.” (41:32) (Sam) “I think PR companies and brand agencies are beginning to wake up to the potential reach and the vertical communities that are being created around podcasts.” (51:04) (Sam) Resources MentionedSam's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsethi?originalSubdomain=uk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsethi?originalSubdomain=uk) Sam's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/samtalkstechnology/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/samtalkstechnology/?hl=en) Sam's Twitter – https://twitter.com/samsethi?lang=en (https://twitter.com/samsethi?lang=en) Wine Keller – https://www.winekeller.com/ (https://www.winekeller.com/) TechCrunch Europe – https://techcrunch.com/europe/ (https://techcrunch.com/europe/) River Radio – https://river.radio/ (https://river.radio/) Podland News – https://www.podland.news/ (https://www.podland.news/) Sam's Podcast: Sam Talks Technology – https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sam-talks-technology-761256 (https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sam-talks-technology-761256) Podland News – https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/podland-news-1566455 (https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/podland-news-1566455) Books Mentioned: Steve Jobs – https://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jobs-Walter-Isaacson-audiobook/dp/B07ZMKXMTG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=D624TGQBC1KY&keywords=steve+jobs+walter+isaacson&qid=1654782252&s=books&sprefix=steve+jobs+%2Cstripbooks%2C73&sr=1-1...

Can you believe it's almost the end of 2021? What a year! I always like to review what's ahead for us in the podcasting industry, so I invited Sam Sethi, a 30-year podcast veteran, to tell us what he thinks. Sam is the Operational Director at Viral Tribe, the Managing Director at River Radio, and the host and producer of Podland News. A terrific podcast that he does with James Cridland from Podnews. I am so glad I reached out and asked him to chat with me because he shared some fantastic insights into what we should look forward to next year and the future. We touch on what Apple and Spotify have been doing right and wrong this last year, what impressive development is happening with independent developers in the space, and why Sam doesn't bet on YouTube podcasting lasting. And so much more, so make sure you listen through to the end. You can connect with Sam on Linkedin or listen to Podland on your podcast player. _____ ➜ WE DROP NEW EPISODES BI-MONTHLY, SO SUBSCRIBE!
