Hosting Mind Set Radio Hour

Mind Set Radio Hour

Back in 2006 I began producing an "indie" alternative music style podcast called, "Orion's Indie Podcast". I had a few motivations for doing this, one of them being that I was working with several local and unsigned bands at the time helping with promotions. Doing things like designing album artwork, flyer's, t-shirts and aiding in getting their music played on various internet radio stations. This leads me my next my point about my motivation for doing this. That is, I was tired of hearing the same old bands being played on alternative radio stations. I felt that the good ones out there were being passed up. I figured by creating this podcast it would be another way to help bands that would like there music played across the world wide web. The potential to reach a large audience is unlimited this way. I began to get submissions from bands and managed to put out around 35 episodes. These podcasts were merely playlists no commentary, my goal was to keep it simple and to the point, that being the listeners just wanted to hear music. Due to bandwidth fees I had to stop producing them after a couple years.

Fast forward to 2012 and I'm back hosting another music podcast at Mind Set Central called "Mind Set Radio Hour". I share hosting responsibilities on this podcast with the other cast members from Mind Set Central from time to time. The premise of this podcast is to play music with thoughts and commentary. It can be based on any theme really just depends on who is hosting. For example, one of the hosts did a radio hour episode that just featured Beatles music.

When I get the opportunity to host I play new indie and alternative bands much like I did on Orion's Indie Podcast. I also like to talk a little about the bands, where you can find them and get their music. My goal is to have you experience music you won't hear on your regular radio dial, discover new bands and all while taking your mind off things as you zone out to the great tunes. I always say, "I am hear to take your mind off of reality and put you in the vibes of the music." Well, what are you waiting for?! Get over to the site and subscribe for free to the podcast. I typically post new episodes every two weeks. Enjoy and rock on!

The Return of Mind Set Central

If you are regular listener to Mind Set Central you may have noticed the past few weeks their haven't been any new shows posted. You may wonder why this delay? Well a few weeks back their were some technical difficulties at the main hub where all the shows are posted regularly. This has taken time and money to resolve. From what I know I should be back on air with the other hosts soon doing shows as the network is scheduled to be back on air with regular shows the week of November 5th if all goes as planned.

What can you expect? Well I have been working on some new formats for Mind Set Daily and also I plan on posting more of these daily shows more than twice per week. You can expect more new alternative music from my upcoming Mind Set Radio Hours. I also have a brand new show I'm working on that I can't disclose yet but will be available in the near future on Mind Set Central. So lots in the works and of course I'll be back on with the regular panel each Sunday for The Mind Set Podcast as well. So lots to look forward to, stay tuned to www.MindsetCentral.com

Behavior Recognition Surveillance at the RNC

Tampa police will be using behavior recognition surveillance cameras and specialized software at the Republican National Convention. A system known as “AISight” developed by BRS Labs will used to track patterns of behavior, analyze environments and the objects and people within in it.

This system will be build up a memory of these events and then compare the objects and behaviors to past memories to see if anything is out of the ordinary.

Tampa Police hopes that the system encourages protestors during the Republican National Convention to behave since they know they’re being watched and profiled.

What is Mind Set Daily?

What is Mind Set Daily? Well during the launch of this mini-podcast series it was unclear the direction of the show. Actually the format is still evolving though no matter what the underlying concept has been established and will remain and that is to report on and highlight various alternate news stories that you are most unlikely to hear about anywhere else. I also like to think of it as a way to hear more condensed topics that aren't always touched on our main podcast which is "The Mind Set Podcast". It is mainly hosted and produced by me but from time to time Gareth Davies from The Mind Set Central Network contributes to the series. He of course brings his own spin and production to the episodes because as mentioned it is always evolving.

Mind Set Daily strives to give you the most current alternate news possible. It is also bite sized for your fast paced world and each episode typically covers only one or two stories and it is usually no longer than 10 minutes long. Currently this podcast is airing twice a week on The Mind Set Central Network and eventually their are plans to have more episodes weekly. Some of the subject matter and news topics may include but are not limited to: big brother, conspiracies, future technologies, the police state and so much more!

It is my mission when you listen to leave you feeling informed and also perhaps inspire you to question things more. Thank you for listening and if you haven't yet you can subscribe for free here.

Nervous Teeth: Dedication to Rod. Oh Yes...

I wanted to write this regarding a friend and a great inspiration to me who has recently passed on. His name is Rod Rodriguez and he was a host on a para-political and alternative news podcast called "Nervous Teeth" that was hosted by Gareth Davies. Though the show was much more than that on the surface. It wasn't just the topics or news that caught my attention, initially it was the people on the show talking on these subjects and Rod brought a certain element to it with his character and personality that was unmatched. I felt I could relate to him in many ways and the things he would talk about were the issues that I myself was going through or questioning and in fact still am. So many times I would hear other shows that were similar in nature and the people talking on the broadcasts I could never relate with and they just didn't motivate me to question anything at all In fact most of the shows sounded cookie cutter and commercialized or "typical".

Nervous Teeth changed everything for me when I heard it. It was different and I could relate to the hosts, Gareth and Rod. They were down to Earth and when you listened to them talking you just felt like you were there listening to a couple of friends talking and it was such a casual way to lead into these heavy controversial topics. Rod I felt appealed to whole other level of audience. Perhaps people like myself who aren't always so serious and like to have a sense of humor about life. I won't sugarcoat it, I thought he was funny as hell! Yet was engaging to listen to when he spoke about more serious topics but always had a humours spin on them. I really liked how he questioned the system and reality. The more I listened the more I began to wake up and question reality myself. He inspired me to keep digging and to keep an open mind.

I won't go into the details here, but along the way Nervous Teeth ended production and I lost touch with Gareth and Rod. A few years have passed since Nervous Teeth and at some point Gareth took his online blog "Mind Set Central" which dealt with many of the same topics and issues and turned it into an extension of Nervous Teeth in many ways and is now called "The Mind Set" Podcast which you can find at www.MindsetCentral.com and it is hosted by Gareth Davies. Other co-hosts have joined the show over some time and the show has evolved into what it is now. I personally feel the podcast is an evolution of what was or used to be Nervous Teeth. 

Gareth recently gave me an opportunity to be apart of Mind Set Central crew and the podcast. What an honor an that is and I am thankful for what Rod contributed previously because that has motivated me as a co-host on Mind Set Central to perhaps inspire and enlighten others lives as Rod did for me. I can honestly say that without hearing him on Nervous Teeth that I highly doubt it that I would be into podcasting right now and talking about these topics that we do on Mind Set Central. I want to do my best to show my appreciation by helping to carry on his legacy in my own way but knowing that he is an instrumental part of who I am today in regards to podcasting and in the way I question and view reality. Gareth has turned out to be a great lifelong friend for me and inspiration as well and I am thankful to he is apart of my life now. When I look back and reflect on when I listen to Nervous Teeth initially little did I know I'd be here today writing this and contributing to the same cause that is Mind Set Central. It truly shows me that I am on this path for a reason and who we meet and who touches us plays a big part in what we become.

Rod I hope is at peace now and now has some answers to the questions that has always burdened him. I'm sure even in the afterlife he is questioning and joking about things just in another reality, his soul carries on and I don't think he realized how many lives he touched here in this world but I know for sure that he touched mine. Rod rest in peace, I'll never forget you friend. Wherever you are give em' hell!
