    018 - Jason Rabinowitz - Proof of Concept
    2026/07/15
    Jason Rabinowitz of Proof of Concept---SUMMARYIn this episode of Talk That Pod, Sebastian sits down with Jason Rabinowitz, co-host of Proof of Concept, a podcast that explores the world of beverage alcohol competitions through the stories of the founders and makers whose spirits have won at the highest level. Jason shares the personal origin story behind the show — rooted in his late father-in-law Anthony Dias Blue's founding of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition — and explains how the podcast has evolved from a simple "why did this spirit win" premise into a broader exploration of subjectivity, objectivity, and the craftsmanship behind excellence. The two dig into building a branded podcast that doesn't feel like an advertisement, the shift toward video and short-form clips in podcast discovery, cross-promotion, and how a "gatekeeper" industry might become more accessible to a wider audience. Jason also opens up about his background as a three-time Grammy-nominated musician and audio professional, and how that experience shaped the show's production. They close with a conversation about generational shifts in alcohol consumption and a rapid-fire round of podcast recommendations.---IN THIS EPISODE00:03 – Introduction and welcome to Jason Rabinowitz, co-host of Proof of Concept00:34 – The origin story of Proof of Concept and the legacy of Anthony Dias Blue02:11 – The evolution of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and its global expansion04:23 – Clearing up a mix-up with another Jason Rabinowitz and correcting the record on his background05:06 – How Jason's music and audio production career shaped the podcast's production05:48 – Why the show focuses on founders behind award-winning spirits06:58 – The rigor, blind tasting process, and volunteer culture behind the competition09:13 – How guests are selected and the role of co-host Toby Blue10:00 – The show's shift toward exploring subjectivity versus objectivity in judging13:47 – What the Tasting Alliance is and how Proof of Concept fits as a branded show14:39 – Keeping a branded podcast from feeling like an advertisement17:38 – Video, YouTube discovery, and treating a video podcast like a television show19:18 – Thinking (or not) about short-form, clip-friendly content21:06 – Tapping into existing spirits communities as a distribution channel22:40 – Cross-promotion and going on other podcasts to grow the audience23:18 – Defining success for Proof of Concept in the next one to two years25:23 – Dream guests, celebrity spirit brands, and the "white whale" question28:08 – The generational decline in alcohol consumption and why it may be cyclical30:45 – The rise of non-alcoholic spirits and how the same judging principles apply31:18 – Alcohol's long history and its role as a social lubricant32:30 – Addressing the perception of gatekeeping and snobbery in the spirits world35:14 – Developing a palate and the parallels to audio engineering vocabulary36:52 – What makes podcasting unique as a medium39:12 – Jason's three podcast recommendations41:19 – Where to find Proof of Concept online---RESOURCES & LINKSProof of Concept PodcastThe Tasting Alliance (parent organization)San Francisco World Spirits CompetitionHistory of Rock and Roll in 500 Songs (podcast recommendation)Freakonomics Radio (podcast recommendation)Heavyweight (podcast recommendation)Death, Sex & Money (podcast recommendation)A Bit Fruity with Matt Bernstein (podcast recommendation)Wow in the World (podcast recommendation)Flip and Mozi (podcast recommendation)

    2026/07/08
    Kurt Sasso of Two Geeks Talking---SUMMARYSebastian sits down with Kurt Sasso, host of Two Geeks Talking, a pop-culture interview show that has racked up over 1,200 conversations across comics, TV, film, music, and video games over the past 18 years. The two swap stories about an unexpected overlap from Sebastian's old merchandise business before digging into Kurt's interviewing philosophy, his research process, and how the show evolved from a two-hour live call-in on TalkShoe into a full video production. Kurt walks through the growth strategies that actually moved the needle for his show, how he built a paid interview service after 15 years of doing it for free, and what he'd do differently if he launched from zero in 2026. The conversation closes with a wider-lens discussion on why long-form podcasts keep thriving in a short-attention-span world, podcasting's growing political influence, and Kurt's firm stance on AI — both in his own research process and in creative work more broadly.---IN THIS EPISODE00:20 — Introduction to Kurt Sasso and Two Geeks Talking01:27 — How Kurt stumbled into podcasting through a friend's webcomics database02:51 — An unexpected overlap: Sebastian's old merch business and Kurt's webcomic guests04:30 — Kurt's technique for drawing stories out of shy or reluctant guests06:58 — Kurt's research process: socials, past interviews, and avoiding repeat questions10:20 — Looking back at early cringe-worthy interviews and lessons learned14:21 — Has interviewing led to business or networking opportunities?17:14 — Common traits among successful creative guests19:55 — The moment Two Geeks Talking started to take off23:11 — Pitching and structuring the paid interview service25:38 — The two or three growth strategies that produced the best results (the 2010 shift to video)33:43 — Hypothetical: launching Two Geeks Talking from scratch in 202639:22 — Which metrics actually matter to Kurt (and why downloads aren't one of them)42:40 — Outdated podcasting advice Kurt and Sebastian still hear too often49:35 — Why long-form podcasts thrive despite short-attention-span platforms52:56 — Podcasting's growing influence on politics and culture56:16 — AI, creativity, and why Kurt doesn't use AI in his research process1:00:44 — Staying a fan while still asking challenging questions1:02:54 — Kurt's podcast recommendations1:04:22 — Where to find Kurt and Two Geeks Talking---RESOURCES & LINKSTwo Geeks TalkingYouTube: youtube.com/TGTMediaWebsite: tgtmedia.comSocial: @KurtSassoMentioned in this episode:Webcomics.comCyanide and Happiness (Explosm)Ctrl+Alt+Del (Tim Buckley)C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo)TalkShoe (early live call-in platform)Cliff Ravenscraft, "The Podcast Answer Man"The Tim Ferriss ShowGary Vaynerchuk (content/YouTube)James Cridland, Pod NewsMarshall McLuhan, "the medium is the message"---TALK THAT PODAre you a podcaster or podcast industry figure and you want to be on this podcast?

He also discusses joining the Airwave Media network while staying fully independent creatively, his low-key approach to Patreon monetization, and his thoughts on the democratization of history podcasting and the risks of misinformation in the space.
