Launch date: Mike Murphy Unplugged went live on iTunes Friday, September 25, 2015. Why it started: simply to help figure things out personally, and to create an outlet for teaching and sharing the topics worth learning about. Teaching and documenting the process of building an online business and brand was always going to help find a real voice while inspiring anyone else trying to do the same — a genuine win-win.
Schedule: every Friday at 12:15am, with the newsletter following at 6:00am.
Side tip: show up. Listeners build a podcast into their routine — honor that.
Favorite Episodes
- Episode 1: About Mike — worked hard on it and it turned out well.
- Episode 17, 18 & 70 — the Roadmap Shows, which forced real thinking about business and goals.
- Episode 56: The Adobe Audition Show — mostly because Durin Gleaves, the head of Audition at Adobe, emailed to say the whole team listened.
- Episodes 57 & 58 — the Audio 101 Shows, which simplified audio terminology for anyone too embarrassed to ask the basics.
- The mobile podcasting shows (48, 50, 52) — recorded from a nude beach under the Golden Gate Bridge, a Naples beach, and the Everglades. Pure fun pushing gear and tech to its limits, and hopefully motivating for anyone intimidated by mobile recording.
- Episode 94: The Dead Show — just a genuinely happy one to make.
Least Favorite: Hardware-Heavy Episodes
Most Downloaded Episode
Episode 83: The Personal Brand Show (Part 2) — the only episode to break 1,000 downloads.
