State of the podcast:
Remember this podcast needs your support. 
I’m having fun doing this. So, I’ve paid for a year of hosting in advance and I registered thelocksportscast.com for the podcast.
Since I’m trying to make this a weekly podcast, I’m currently having to spend time researching and creating a weekly topic to keep it to about 30 min and hopefully keep it interesting. With the amount of time that takes, I may have to temporarily suspend making my YouTube locksport videos until I can streamline my workflow.  This just feels like it has more purpose than what I was doing on YouTube.  If that happens, I will have to decide whether to suspend the PAM giveaways or try to move them to the podcast somehow.
