Hopefully this is a good place for this! I've only recently joined this site and I'm really digging it so far. I hope to stick around and watch it grow and become my hub for everything: tracking, backlogging, information, pricing, etc.

Anyway, I've recently been interviewing collectors ( of mainly video games) on my podcast and it has met decent praise and I'm proud of it so far. I've had the opportunity to discuss my favorite hobby and meet some really awesome people. If anyone here is a seasoned collector who thinks they may be able to share some unique perspectives, tips of the trade, culture, or ideas about collecting and wants to be a guest on the podcast, please let me know! I'm always looking for new people to chat with!

The requirements are basically what I listed above and that you have Skype (audio only) and the ability to record your own audio to send to us as backup.

If you'd like to hear some examples of episodes we've done, check out the Collect Call episodes listed here: http://polykill.libsyn.com/

Hey Travis! Glad you are enjoying the site!! I myself am fairly new as well (started using near the end of February) but the users here are so welcoming and friendly, I feel like I have been using it much longer!

That being said, I have checked out your podcasts and they are fantastic!! Very entertaining and easy to listen to. I would definitely be willing to be interviewed if you so wanted. Myself and my father-in-law have a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzg5UMJ62uoKHTkq5bgkp5g) so it might be cool if you interviewed us both at the same time (again assuming you would want to interview us haha). If you want to discuss a little more, please feel free to email me at dgw143@gmail.com and we can talk a little bit more!!

Thanks for the awesome opportunity!

Awesome, we'll definitely be in touch!

I mostly buy online these days and my collection is all over the place, but I'm up for doing this, if you ever need another participant :D

Awesome, we have a few folks currently lined up so I haven't forgotten about you.. we just release bi-monthly so it may be a few weeks but we will be in touch!

@WhitsEnd I sent you an email! You may want to check SPAM or Junk if you don't see it right away!

Travplaysgames, nice podcast that you've got going! It's always fun to find a new one to listen to.

I would be willing to participate in an episode sometime, if interested. My main focus is PS2 collecting (going for a complete NTSC set), but I also do some genre collecting stuff as well (visual novels, rhythm games, etc).

@Marcus
PS2 would be new and different for the interview. It could be a few weeks from now but I'll get back to you!

Travis I finished up the survey last night and will be getting my father in law Dan to fill it out soon as well!

Just for clarification, the survey asked if I collect for a specific console and I put no...but I am however going for a complete N64 collection. That is however not the only thing I am collecting but I just wanted to clarify for you :)

Really looking forward to participating in this podcast, you do an awesome job with them!!

@Marcus Do you have an email I can reach you at? We're looking to interview you fairly soon (a few weeks out). Thanks!

Travis: Yeah, here you go.

That's the best email address I've ever seen.

Accidental double post so editing this one to reiterate how much I like that email address and that I've sent an email to it :)

Hey guys, Dan and I's podcast is up on Travis website if you want to check it out! http://www.polykill.com/podcasts/2016/8/23/collect-call-8-dave-and-dan-in-laws-who-collect-together

Thanks again Travis it was a LOT of fun and hope to be able to do it again sometime! If you haven't talked to Travis about joining his podcast, DO IT, they have a really good thing going on at polykill!!

Great stuff!!

Started listening for about 10 minutes...I really enjoy this podcast! Excellent quality and craftsmanship, with some very original topics/ideas. I will continue on with it when I have more time, but yes, keep up the great work fellas!

I thought it was really good.

Thanks guys! We're always trying to make it better. Dave and Dan made it easy though. Super nice guys, easy to talk to!

I'm blushing Travis XD

No but seriously Travis YOU made the whole process easy and relaxed...I didn't feel nervous or anxious once during the whole thing! Thanks again for having us!!

Marcus, your podcast is up!

polykill.com

Thank you for helping us out, it was a lot of fun. Feel free to post a link to it on your site!

See ya at Magfest!

Just listened to the podcast Travis and Marcus! It was a great listen! :)

Hey Whitsend did you end up posting the interview anywhere?

I'm a little late on this, but I finished the rest of it. Professional quality work, you guys should be proud!

It only made me consider how neat it would be to have an active podcast for Completionator...

Thanks Doberman! I cringe when I listen to them.. I still can't get past my own voice and how I sound like a slightly less enthusiastic Gomer Pyle but I guess that's part of it. Everyone I've interviewed has been awesome though and it's been a blast.

The hardest thing about a podcast is sticking to a schedule. If you can manage that, I say go for it!

@travplaysgames:

I think we're all kind of voice-conscious like that to a degree, it's actually for a scientific reason (our voices seem deeper to ourselves because of the vibrations through our bones, so listening to a recording always makes it seem "higher") but I think you sounded just fine!

And in the past for other fan groups I've been a part of podcasts only in the backdrop, but I'm pretty familiar with how to put it altogether. I think it might not be a bad idea for this site considering there are a lot of dynamic changes happening constantly, tons of new games that are added, bounties and missions could provide some user content...I'm really just brainstorming here, but it stemmed from being satisfied with your podcast!
