I recently did my first podcast with John Feigenbaum from the GreySheet/Whitman for their Redbook series on YouTube. It was my very first podcast so please be forgiving if it wasn't perfect 
(By the way, it's a bit long, about 45 min., so grab your cup of coffee - it will help keep you awake!)

So it was a lot of fun, I was a bit nervous at first, but John was especially gracious and easy to talk to, and I learned a few do's and don't's about participating in podcasts:
- Don't have the computer camera set too high so the audience is looking at your throat
- Make sure you have good lighting - it can be your best friend
- The background scenery matters too
- A laptop battery doesn't necessarily last the usual 2 hours if you're doing a podcast!

Congratulations, but I had to do a double take at the picture of Mr. Feigenbaum. At first I thought maybe this was a true crime podcast (orange jump suit).

So true! My first thought was I didn't know prisons had libraries with coin books.
Heard engraving is a big thing 😳
terrible lighting on my side of the camera for sure, and my beautiful orange "shacket" looks like a prison jumpsuit. lol. @ThePennyLady great to speak with you!

Prison jumpsuit was actually my first thought
, but I'm an Oklahoma State grad so orange is one of my favorite colors and I like the jacket.

Wow, I hope he gets out of prison soon and you can meet face to face.
Congratulations on your first podcast! @JohnF is always interesting and pleasant to listen to.

Good job!!
I saw it! Very good!!
@ThePennyLady I loved the podcast.
As usual, John does a nice interview. Thanks for sharing your insight on the "penny" (cent). I love your collection of tiny kettles made from copper cents.

I think this was (is?) called, "Tramp Art"
Many of these were tapped and produced in prisons.
They are called "Prison Art" and "Trench Art" and were produced by prisoners AND soldiers in the 1930's and 1940's. See my articled that appeared several years ago in The Numismatist about penny exonumia.

Sweet. Thanks for the LINK and the additional information.
@ThePennyLady . Very interesting; much like your show reports are. On that note though, I must admit, i have genetic conditions that make even an ounce of alcohol fatal for me so sometimes i find your wine discoveries more interesting than the coins. james

The podcast just popped up in my feed and it’s on my “must watch” list, although since I’m here in Mexico, I might substitute a margarita for coffee.

Thank you everyone. It was a lot of fun talking about my favorite subject and John made it easy. And John looks very good in that orange "jumpsuit"! Looking forward to seeing some of you at the FUN show!
