Back at Iron Key to discuss life's happenings

5/1/2021

 
We enjoyed our session broadcasting from the mobile podcasting studio in the parking lot at Iron Key Brewing Company. Iron Key is located in what used to be "The Big House." Yes, it was a North Carolina prison. The solitary confinement cells were taken and it was just too windy outside to record. So we confined ourselves into a bit more luxury in the van. Take a listen.

Spring Time Ramblings

3/26/2021

 
With Covid everywhere, Gary & Mark have been pretty darn cautious about recording. Finally with the first shot in our arms, we met up at Saluda Outfitters to record episode 43. Lots of good things going in with "The Gary & Mark Show."

We've started our third season with this episode recorded at the old Green River Bridge. Gary and Mark ramble on about several recent happenings. One of the many highlights is Gary's demonstration of a portable bidet. And folks, it's a real product.

One year and 10,000 plus downloads later, we celebrated our first anniversary. Again podcasting via Zoom, we invited past guests to join us. We were pleasantly surprised that four guests dropped in.

Guess Who has a job at the Watershed Dollar store?

6/1/2020

 
We never expected Dee Dee would show up when we called over to the Dollar Store. She's working security. Sounds like she's moonlighting since she's supposed to be working security for the Gary & Mark Podcasting University. She's effective at what she does, that's for sure.

Looking good, Dee Dee!
