We don’t really need to write much of an introduction for this one. Tim got the elusive Mark Gonzales mic’d up for the fifth episode of the Tim Pod, and this one is so good we decided to turn it into a two parter. What is normally #goodpod, has become #greatpod.
Don’t forget to check out the show highlights, the submitted questions, and the links and mentions from this week’s episode. And, as always, send shit for Tim to talk about next time here: [email protected].

Attention Tim Oconnor: interviewing tip: talk less about yourself. You are the interviewer not the subject. try not to counter comment with your own shit so much. If you must say things try to keep it topical. There’s parts of this interview where it seems Mark was about to talk on subject, then you interjected and turned the conversation onto yourself. Thank you

…hahaha!
best show ever,Tim!
i can’t get enough of this shit!
August 11, 2015 12:54 pm
Totally agree with this statement. Also Tim’s volume is a lot higher than Mark, so his “yah, uh huh” etc are way louder and distracting. Please stop talking so much Tim.

Very true, thought the same.

Good effort Tim, Good job to get Mark talking about his life, it was super interesting. I bet you learned a lot about interviewing here also. Looking forward to many more.
