John Delaloye, CEO of Diamond Brand Gear, joins us for Episode 58
Friday Jul 14, 2023
Friday Jul 14, 2023
We were thrilled to be able to sit down with John Delaloye, CEO of Diamond Brand Gear, to hear about his company and the way they're turning heads. One of the things they're doing is taking old tents and other products they've made over the years and repurposing them into new, very unique pieces of gear. Folks get a product that is sure to turn heads...and we all get to keep the old material from ending up in a landfill.
You can see the Youtube version of this podcast with this link.

And why not become a sponsor of The Gary and Mark Show? For just about any amount, we'll mention you and/or your business by name on the next several episodes.
And don't forget that the fall semester starts soon at the Gary and Mark Podcasting University.
Apply now. We're the only university in the world (we think) where you can apply and graduate in the same day.

Professional Hiking Guide Bev MacDowell is our Guest - Episode 56
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
The Gary & Mark Show was pleased to welcome Bev MacDowell as our guest for this episode. Bev, from Asheville, has a lot going on. She still teaches "cursive" to new students at Carolina Day School where she has worked for over twenty years. And that's just for starters.
At the age where most people are retired, Bev is just hitting her stride. She is a professional hiking guide with the Blue Ridge Hiking Company in Asheville. If that's not enough, she also works with "search and rescue" to help locate and bring home lost hikers, backpackers, and others. To top that off, Bev is a member of and serves as an occasional leader for Carolina Mountain Club hikes. Bev talks about all of that and more with Gary and Mark. And if you go back far enough (and we did) she mentions that she was once a model in Europe. We can believe it.

Larry Eblen Joins Us for Episode 53
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
Gary's older brother, Larry, joins us in the guest seat for this episode recorded via Zoom. Larry has a lot of life experiences including serving a career in the US Air Force as a meteorologist. But he mostly discusses "BEER" in this episode, specifically...non-alcoholic brews. Larry has devised his own system for rating NA beers and he shares with us his top pics and also those at the bottom of the pile. It makes for an interesting show.
While Larry might have retired as a Lt. Colonel, he doesn't let that position keep him from entering other professions. He's always been a part of the staff at the Gary & Mark Podcasting University. We're happy to announce that Larry has agreed to take on the position of Dean of our new Central US campus of the GMPU.
