Episode 6 - Mike Chin RETURNS!

What can we say?  Mike Chin is a star.   Since last time we spoke to him he has had a very successful Buzzfeed post that has shot him into the world of WWE type writers. In the article, he painstakingly ranked every single Wreslemania match in an incredibly detailed blog post and it has had considerable notoriety. 

Check out the article here:  http://www.buzzfeed.com/miketchin/ranking-every-wrestlemania-match-ever-ipcp.

Today, Sean and Mike talk about his other creative outlet, The A Cappella Blog. Starting as a small operation, the blog now gets several thousand readers and even has its own book.  You can order the A Cappella Book here: http://acappellablog.com/book.  During the conversation, Mike describes his time as a critic of both live a cappella performances and albums. Sean is not very well versed in the world of singing without instruments, so Mike walks him through the history of the genre and talks about some contemporary groups.

Thanks for listening!
