PineSong Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Great fun on road trips. I was listening to one with forum member Daniel as the guest earlier today. He was talking about his childhood fishkeeping in the 1970's, and it took me back. I loved that Daniel had to remind Randy that even wayyy back in the 70's people had access to good information, in these old fashioned things called "books"! It's like when my kid asked me if I was alive during the Civil War, lol. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Best thread on the forum! 😂 Back at our hotel in Iquitos. Pizza for dinner then going to record a podcast episode with Cory and Dean. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshStover Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Can’t wait to give it a listen @Randy are you planning to bring back much from this trip? I absolutely loved the knife fish that Dean posted on Instagram! I would’ve been bringing it back for sure!! ps i hope you do at least a dozen more episodes with Rosario and Joe. I could listen to their stories all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosedub Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I agree. It’s great listening to people who love fish talk about fish! I am listening through them sequentially, but also listening to every new one that come out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowells Fish Lab Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I enjoy it. When Rosario is on I have to listen very closely because it's easy to miss when he casually says something ingenious. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommygourami Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Ha! I was just thinking I was the last one to discover these podcasts. I just started listening in the last couple weeks as I found a couple on YouTube. Just this week I found out they are all on the Aquarium COOP app. That has been awesome because I was having trouble finding all the episodes on YouTube. I love the history talks with Joe too. I just started re-listening to the episode w/Joe in his basement....fascinating that people started putting exotic plants into glass boxes and that's how the term "aquarium" started. I have to say I'm really impressed with Randy's interview skills. He does a ton of research on the guests, which clearly the guests appreciate and you can tell he really thinks about thoughtful questions to ask. These early episodes he's talking about his supply chain job, so I keep wondering where he picked up his interviewing skills. Anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying them. Nice job and thank you for putting these out there, Randy! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Fish Den Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I've been listening to @Randypodcasts for a long time, have enjoyed and learned a lot from them, and especially the ones with Rosario and Joe. I have enjoyed how these last couple, how Randy just kind of sits back and lets the two of them talk, its almost like you're the fly on the wall at one of their homes. Also, just downloaded the newest one with Dean, and going to listen while I mow at work today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? It has some of Corys livestreams on there too. Its nice because when I watch YouTube I have to keep the video running but on a podcast I can lock my phone and let it run in the background or easily switch to other tabs on my phone. Maybe one day they'll add this forum to the app too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideyon Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I started with the one with @Daniel. For some reason when I read his posts, I heard his voice in my head with an Australian accent. Now my world is blown to find out he's a southerner from Georgia. Great story telling. My childhood was in the 80s. I remember fish, hamsters, ferrets, and snakes being sold at department stores like walmart. Whenever we went shopping as a family, my brother and I would just go hang out in the pet section. I go to Walmart now, not a single live animal. And I wouldn't let my kids out of my sight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day mate! I wish I had an Australian accent, I would sound way more cool. I remember one fall Saturday morning in 1976 at the department store pet store doing inventory on all the animals. Beside literally counting every fish we also counted the snakes and other animals. The 5 foot long boa constrictor was strong enough to push the top off of his terrarium (even though the terrarium screen had bricks on it) and he had been missing for more than a week. Suddenly there was the blood curdling scream from the nearby toy department. I rushed over to see Laurie from toys pointing a row of 'Stretch Armstrong' figures. Sure enough, there was the missing boa constrictor behind the Stretch Armstrong figures. Being just beginning of video game era, Stretching Stretch and having him return to normal was considered fun. Supposedly during the late 1970s, Kenner Toys was the largest single consumer of corn syrup (Stetches secret ingredient) in the US. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Ooh there’s one with Daniel?! Awesome! I definitely need to go find that. I’m addicted to the Aquarist Podcast, it’s so good. @Randy, I swear, I could listen to you talking with Joe and Rosario all day. As amazing as all the other episodes are, the ones with Joe and Rosario are by far my favourite. Looking forward to the next episodes with them. Keep it up man, you’re doing an incredible job. And I can’t wait to hear about your trip on the podcast too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I am glad people are discovering the podcast! @mommygouramiregarding how I learned to interview? I don’t know. I did have a sales job for ~7 years. That did require me to listen to my customers to understand their needs. So maybe that? 😆 Also, here is a bonus “live” photo with the Corndog and I on our way back home from Peru. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The episode with @Daniel was fun! I love the way Daniel explains that things haven’t changed all that much in the fishkeeping hobby. The lighting and Co2 make for easier planted tanks but the fish husbandry hasn’t changed much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grin Ghost Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi everyone, I am new to the hobby and just recently discovered the podcast. It is amazing! It is really fun and I learn a lot. I work in a fish facility in Belgium and listen to the show while working. I Just finished episode 106 and noticed that there is no mention of it being the last episode. Are there new episodes that i can not download or did the show stop? Any news on how the okefenokee competition between Randy and Bob Steenfott is going? 🙂 thanks in advance!
