I added to audio of the 3rd annual Meat-Wad Invitational... which was a shit-show in the making and hilarious when told through Meat-Wad...
Edward Hines and i start talking straight about blading. I get drunk and weird and interesting conversation peruses.
I had the opportunity to talk to one of my blader friends I have known since high school and we talked about blading (obviously), theme parks, and a little more things that are off the subject. This is the start of BGP coming back up again. Sorry folks I have been slacking the the past year. Look to seeing more podcasts in the future. Please share and comment
Mark Weaver skypes in with one of the SoFlo dudes mysteriously named Safe Journeys. We hit it off with subjects like Florida blading, Disc Golf, Winnie the Pooh and Taoism's connection, Pow-Wow, and the origins of his nickname and how he got into rollerblading.
So I decided to make another mix of songs that will probably get me taken down... hope you all download it before it happens Enjoy while it lasts.
Long time guests meet at one spot to Skype from LA, Cali, with little ol'me here in Alletntown, PA. We really get into a geeky conversation that is similar to what you would have with blading buddies traveling to your session destination in a car in anywhere , USA or wherever. Subjects include video games and food... so how can you go wrong? To See Tri's edit while he was in LA check out here (https://vimeo.com/146076568). Thanks for listening. -MW-
Craig Parsons is an amazing individual and deserves all the positive things coming his way. I'm happy to have Craig on the podcast and hope you enjoy our conversation about Woodward, their chocolate milk, back problems and indues, and (of coarse)... rollerblading.
The Reading Box Jam was a small blading event held on October 10th, 2015 in Reading, PA.
Mark takes a trip to New Philadelphia, Ohio for the 2015 James Short Memorial Session. This is my third year attending this event and this time we were joined by fellow blade pro-stars Alex Broskow, Chris Framer, Ben Schwab, Jon From, Don Bambrick as well as, a bunch of people from all over the place... more so then previous years. A huge thanks goes to to everyone who made the event possible and a even bigger thanks to Rod and Reb Short... Much love and See everyone next year!
Hey folks so this podcast was pretty hard to record due to the fact that it's pretty personal but it's something I feel like would help me recover from my depression and alcoholism. I have "suffered" from depression for over 12-13 years and its been something I have carried on my shoulders for too long. I made this to let bladers (or anyone for that fact) who have depression or know someone who blades and has been living with depression. Now, I didn't do this podcast for sympathy or nor is it a cry for help... I just have been getting to the point where I need to start talking about it cause it has had a huge effect on my life and finally got the courage to talk about it, since I have been embarrassed by it all this time. Thanks for listening to my problems (LOL) and I hope to continue on with the podcast soon enough. -Mark-
After a long hiatus, Mark Weaver gets off his lazy ass and makes a new podcast with the help of new guest Edward Hines (coming from Jacksonville, FL). Our conversation, that includes topics of Pow-Wow, M1, the "industry", and more, was unfortunately cut off abruptly due to my negligence of how much hard drive space I had on my laptop. Eddy and I will make a part 2 in the near future to give "closure" to you listeners. Until then, Thank you for listening to the first Episode of Season 2 of Blader Geeks Podcasters! -Mark-
I did a hour long mix back when I used to work at Woodward East back in '05 (I think...). I was into shredding over instrumental jazzy and dark "smoked-out" beats around this time period and I just re discovered it recently and figured I would share with everyone in the inter-web... I did get one of the most heart warming comments ever on anything audio post I've done...
"Want to thank you Phrigid for your ice casts. I had a serious surgery a few months back. Right after the surgery and during the recovery period I listed to your ice casts. They really helped in the healing process. Thanks again" - BeLinda Nichols

Pow-Wow-Podcast: Journal Entry # 1 (feat. Eric Miller, Brent Scherer, and Matthew Scherer)
Mark talks to his future sister-in-law, Mary Boglioli. This is a little experiment of two calipers. A combination of two types of podcasts I would love to do more of. First: Mary is a Bladie and I hope to have more females on the podcast in the near future. And second: She is a young female at the age of only 16 so I get to dive a bit into a young blader's mind on our sport and how she views it in her own eyes.
