It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters.
In this episode, Austin Taylor (Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries) explains how he chooses topics, and the metric by which something can be considered "a mystery". Plus, Jeremy Bent (Mission to Zyxx & Eurovangelists) has some advice for anyone who is trying to come up with a name for their podcast.
