Episode 53 - Larry Eblen is in the guest seat

3/8/2022

We were pleased to have Lt. Colonel Larry Eblen (ret.) join us via Zoom for this episode. We talk about a lot, but the main focus is Larry's system for ranking non-alcoholic brews. See if you agree with his choices.

Episode 52 - the unauthorized camp reunion

2/14/2022

Gary and Mark welcomed Charlie Tucker and Joe Clarke to join them at Saluda Outfitters for an unauthorized Camp Mondamin reunion. You can only imagine how that turned out.

The best non-alcoholic beer...period

10/24/2021

We had Marco Knox with us for our second interview of the day at the Forest Festival held a month ago at DuPont State Recreational Forest. Marco introduces us to a couple of brews from Athletic Brewing Company. These beers are actually amazingly tasty non-alcoholic beers...and at only 70 calories. Check out the episode and then check out athleticbrewing.com.

Live from the dupont forest festival

10/3/2021

We don't often get invited anywhere, but in a weak moment desperate for entertainment...the folks hosting the DuPont Forest Festival asked us to record some episodes "live" during their great event. This is the first of five shows we did that day. In this episode, our 47th, we interviewed Jeff Jennings, the Founding President of The Friends of Dupont Forest.

Dee Dee Speaks Her mind...

8/8/2021

We had a lively chat with DeeDee during our last session. While Gary and I have been taking cover from COVID, DeeDee has been at her post as Director of Security or make that Insecurity at the Gary & Mark Podcasting University in Watershed. And without a lot of folks around, she was ready to let us know what she's been thinking.

Watershed had to have its own election recount - Episode 41

12/10/2020

Usually Mayor Thomas runs unopposed, but this year he had competition. And the results were so close a recount was in order. Luckily, DeeDee was the official poll watcher and nothing gets by DeeDee. Check out episode 41.

Visit Iron Key Brewing Company in episode 40

10/22/2020

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Chris Balliew, Head of Taproom Operations at Iron Key Brewing Company, for our latest podcast. They have set up quite an operation on the property and in the buildings of what used to be a North Carolina State Penitentiary. Gary was very excited about getting to "spend a night in the box."

DeeDee gets a special honor

9/4/2020

DeeDee was back on the show and as usual, she sets the tone. We did tell her of a special honor being bestowed on her by Mayor Thomas, Mayor of Watershed. DeeDee was not too keen on the idea.

The Connecticut hotdog trail...

8/15/2020

Gary and Mark were finally back at Saluda Outfitters to record our first episode there in six months. We set up on the front porch and welcomed guests James & Andrew Greco to the show. They told us about their recent trip along "The Connecticut Hotdog Trail."

Three Old Friends share stories and music

8/1/2020

Gary and Mark met up with old camp friend, Scott Reed, on the tower at Camp Mondamin for our 36th episode. Scott, a financial advisor of the top order, gives our listeners and us some advice...and then Scott and Gary team up for some musical selections. Sit back and enjoy.

First anniversary Special

6/15/2020

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. Check out this special episode with Dee Dee, Mayor Thomas, Lawyer Joe, and Angela. It was a good time.

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!

GMPU Athletic director has the answer to pandemic

5/15/2020

Don Silleman, the Gary & Mark Podcasting University Athletic Director, visited the show for this episode. And it’s a good thing. We were worried about our athletic program for the coming fall season. But, as is usually the case, Don has the answer to keeping the program active and on the cusp of greatness in the world of big-time college sports.

Dee dee, leader of the Wicked women of watershed

5/1/2020

This was one of those days we were happy to be socially distancing. This episode was recorded via Zoom and we had as our guest, Dee Dee, the gang leader of the W3 - Wicked Women of Watershed Motorcycle Gang. It was a rocky introduction but we'll try to stay on her good side. You can also find a video version of this on our YouTube channel.

Social distancing - we're taking this seriously

4/1/2020

Gary and Mark got together to record this episode from a proper social distancing distance. We brought in three guests via phone including Mayor Thomas, Mayor of Watershed; Joseph Clarke, the legal counsel for the show and university; and Frank Schell, a friend who happens to be a pickleball champion and is taking over that sport for the university as well as serving as the new tourism and development director for Rabbit Island Resort.

How parents can save $200,000...

3/15/2020

We have a lot going on in episode 27 and today we're recording at a new place to us, the Wakey Monkey Coffee Cafe in Saluda, North Carolina. In these times of investment markets swinging all over the place - we can save you 200 grand in about 45 seconds. We also had Matt Noller on the show, owner of the Wakey Monkey to tell us about his fine establishment. We throw in a history lesson and other assorted bits of fun.

Cat Abuse of the Elderly...

3/1/2020

Cat bullying of the elderly is a real thing. We can help. In this episode you'll also meet the newest hire at "The Gary and Mark Podcasting University" and learn about the event Dr. James Moore will be coaching, the Aluminum Man Triathlon.

Two Guests, Two Beers, Lots of Fun

12/15/2019

We end our first season with another free-wheeling episode where anything happens. And it did. We had an innocent bystander join us for one segment. His name is Captain Jim Lombardo and you'll hear his story. That will show you not to get too close when we're recording. And our second guest was as old camp friend who is living in an assisted living facility. We experimented with Chris as he was our first interview by phone. We're thinking Chris might want to leave his current place and move down to Watershed and give the new retirement place at home, Trails End, a chance.

Pam stone - tv star. comedian, and author visits with gary & Mark

11/21/2019

We had a blast sitting down with Pam Stone for a good hour-long show. Pam is probably best known for co-starring seven seasons on the ABC-TV sitcom, "Coach," with Craig T. Nelson. That's just the beginning. She's been on the Jay Leno Show, she's written a couple of books, has a couple of syndicated newspaper columns, and she rides horses and teaches dressage. She's also downright funny.

A Chat with perry jones - muddy sneakers

11/11/2019

We picked an absolutely gorgeous fall day to meet with Perry Hodgkins Jones, development officer with Muddy Sneakers. This unique program rounds up fifth graders from schools throughout the region and takes them from the indoor classroom to the outdoor classroom. It's a fascinating look at how Muddy Sneakers is changing minds and developing stewards of our only planet.
