  • Learn Podcasting in Perrysburg (577 Foundation)

    Learn Podcasting in Perrysburg (577 Foundation)
    Aug 15 2025

    I’m teaching two classes at the 577 Foundation in September 2025.

    1. Podcasting 101 is Thursday, Sept 4, 2025, 6-8 PM. Cost is $25/participant.
    2. Audio Engineering 101 for Podcasters is Thurs, Sept 11, 2025, 6-8 PM. $25/participant.

    Read the FULL show notes on https://www.perrysburgpodcast.com/108

    Podcasting 101 is a beginner-friendly class. No previous experience is needed. I will compare a podcast to a recipe and talk about 12 key ingredients. I’ll also go over the answers to frequently-asked questions, like “How does a podcast episode get into podcast apps?”

    Audio engineering can be the hardest part of podcasting. A gentle introduction to the topic could reduce frustration and help you get up and running faster. There’s more to audio engineering than pressing “record” and “stop.” Making an MP3 file is the goal. Find out more in my Audio Engineering 101 for Podcasters class. I use the, “See one, do one, teach one” method.

It distinguishes itself through its belief in additional scripture beyond the Bible, primarily the Book of Mormon, which members consider another testament of Jesus Christ. The church teaches continuing revelation through modern prophets and apostles. Other distinctive doctrines include temple ordinances for the living and deceased, eternal families, and a unique understanding of the Godhead as three separate beings united in purpose. The church emphasizes personal revelation, missionary work, and genealogical research, with members following a health code called the Word of Wisdom and practicing tithing. About Bishop Neil Baird (July 2025) Neil Baird has served as bishop of the Perrysburg Ward since July 2021. He's a professor of English at Bowling Green State University, where he researches professional writing and directs the University Writing Program. His wife Melanie, married 27 years, works with neurodivergent youth at Perrysburg Junior High School. Their three children include Sean, who served a mission in Suriname and studies physics at BYU; Piper, studying recreation and tourism administration at BYU-Idaho; and ninth-grader Liam. When not fulfilling his pastoral duties or teaching responsibilities, Neil enjoys cycling, kayaking, and board games with his family. About Quinten Dworczyk (July 2025) Quinten Dworczyk is the youngest of four and currently the only one living at home. Heading into his senior year, he is excited for his last steps at the high school, including playing percussion in band and running sprints in track and field. When not studying, Quinten loves playing games of any sort, with card games and sports being his favorite. Quinten has served in various youth leadership callings since 2021, and is excited for the opportunity to serve a 2 year mission after graduation

  • 9 PM Routine with insights from Lt. Brenton Duran

    9 PM Routine with insights from Lt. Brenton Duran
    Jul 25 2025

    Lt. Brenton Duran from the City of Perrysburg Police Division talks about the 9 PM Routine in this episode. Make the 9 PM Routine a daily habit. Every night at 9 PM, take your valuables out of your car, lock your car, lock your home, close your garage door (if you have one), lock your windows, arm your security system, and leave an outside light on. Crime prevention doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need a routine.

    Why talk about the 9 PM Routine in July? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, July is National Vehicle Theft Prevention Month. This episode was published on July 25, 2025. Perfect timing!

    We also talk about the city’s non-emergency number, toilet paper pranksters, and more in this episode.
