08 – Interview with Andy Liebner: United States Ski Pole Company

08 – Interview with Andy Liebner: United States Ski Pole Company

For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Andy Liebner who is the founder and owner of United States Ski Pole Company where they manufacture state-of-the art cross country ski poles.  Before jumping into the interview, I tell a short story about how this interview came to be and why it reaffirms my belief in the power of the podcasting medium.

I know, I know…it’s April. Why am I releasing a podcast episode about cross country skiing? It’s a fair question, but to be fair to me, we DID get 12+ inches of snow only 2 weeks ago. So I offer this episode as a tip of my hat to Old Man Winter and a final acknowledgement to nordic skiing until next winter.

Enjoy!

06 – Nordic Skiing: Getting Started skating on snow

In this episode, I talk about my experiences getting started Nordic Skiing.  I recorded this episode in my car on the way to a friend’s place in Iowa using the standard issue headphones that come with the iPhone 5s.

During the episode, I discuss the book that really inspired me checking out cross-country skiing in the first place:  Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. 

Enjoy!


05 – Minisode:  A short re-introduction to the Getting Started Podcast

05 – Minisode: A short re-introduction to the Getting Started Podcast

Okay, okay…it’s been over a year since I “finally got back to recording podcasts” as the title of the November 24, 2014 episode says.  Looking back on that makes me laugh a bit.  Oh, how great my intentions were!  Well, here I am getting started again.

Since it has been so long since recording an episode here, I thought I would do a short “minisode” re-introducing the podcast.  And it is indeed short – just about 7 minutes.  Hopefully this really is the beginning of something that sticks this time.

Thanks for listening!
