We have next week's guest all lined. We're switching things up a bit. The guest will be Mad Mike Freedman, ICS Pro Chili Cook. We'll be discussing the huge ICS (International Chili Society) group, how the competitions work, and some good 'ol secrets on how to make awesome competitive-league chili. Mike is a great friend from way back, and is psyched to be part of this. Tune in next Tuesday at 7pm.

You'll like Mad Mike, they guy is insane. He Runs the NERCC (New England Regional Chili Cookoff) every year in Somers, CT. The winner of that competition goes to the World Championship. He's got some awesome culinary skills, and loves to talk to people about how to make a good chili.
 
Ok, well, here's the link for Tuesday night's DEFCON-versations show. Got a lot to talk about, and our newest guest, Michael Freedman, professional chili cook with the International Chili Society, will give us an awesome look inside professional chili competitions, and maybe even some helpful hints on how to make chili as well. Oh yeah, and there will definitely be a healthy dose of humor as well. Join us at 7pm EST, and even call in with questions if you like. Here's the link:

The show went very well, and gave some good insight into the behind the scenes stuff that happen at professional chili cookoffs. I can honestly say this is probably Part 1 of a series with our guest Mad Mike Freedman. Here's the link:

Next weeks Defcon-versations broadcast will have the awesome Adam Fehr, from Endorphin Farms as our guest. It'll give a little insight into the behind the scenes stuff that goes on with the production and bottling of some of your favorite hot sauces (including Defcon Sauces). Tune in next Tuesday at 7pm and join in the fun!
 
 
Man, we hit record numbers of listeners last night! Record (and no, it wasn't 3 digits)! Thanks to all who joined us. And, the still in the air for manufacturers around here. Wow, I guess 'free advertising' is spelled differently in their world. So be it. You can't make this stuff up. LOL!
 
OK, sorry for the late entry, but DEFCON-versations, tonight, 7pm EST, will be having a pretty cool guest. Her name is Kelly Brignon, from MildBills.com, a professional dry spice blender. This woman is awesome! We will be discussing high-end chili, dry spices in general, and of course, having a tad of fun. If you haven't listened to one of our broadcasts, make this one the first. Check out their site, www.mildbills.com, to get an idea what these guys are about.

Here's the link for tonight's show!

The show last night with Kelly Brignon of www.mildbills.com went great. She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to spice blending! I think there will be a Part 2 with her on in the future. Next week, we get Scott Zalkind, of Luck Dog, to join me, and discuss his company, and the hot sauce industry in general. Join us!

This show is really gaining steam. Check us out, you just might learn something.
 
Great show, great guest! Thanks Scott! We do it all over again next week! And, the fact our little DEFCON-versations show is now ranked at #7 on BlogTalk Radio for a food program (up there with BBQ Superstars believe it or not!), in only 5 shows! Perhaps I'm onto something. Check out the show!

Next week we bring on another celebrity from the awesome worlds of Hot Sauce, Chili and BBQ!
 
Ok, the guest for next Tuesday has been chosen. It's Brian & Marilyn Meagher, creators of HotSauceDaily.com, a great blogger site that has been around for years. He'll give an interesting perspective on the industry as a whole, as well as a bunch of other topics regarding the hot sauce world. Join us this Tuesday, 6/24, at 7pm.
 
Ok, got the link for tomorrow's DEFCON-versations program on BlogTalkRadio Tuesday night at 7pm. I got a call from the host, Grilliant Ideas, and he stated we've risen to #4 for overall Food Programs for his show group (which includes us) on BlogTalkRadio, not too bad for a newbie, lol! Anyway, Brian & Marilyn Meagher, from The Hot Sauce Daily will be our guests. I thought it would be a neat perspective from a long-time blogger/reviewer. We've got a lot to talk about, including the absolute tsunami of new reviewers, many of which aren't worth their weight in sauce, as all they are concerned with is making puke vids and Jackass stunts. Should be a good discussion. Here's the link for tomorrow's show:
