The Blurb
The Ask Paul Podcast episodes are no longer available online. This is your chance to grab all of them on one USB device — including the extra content files!
Every single week for a whole year of my life, a new episode of the Ask Paul Podcast was released.
The premise was simple; ask me a question relating to the entertainment industry, mentalism, magic, or the business side of entertaining and I would answer it using my extensive knowledge in the field.

Frequently asked questions:
Why did the podcast go offline?
This decision was made for three main reasons. Firstly, I was struggling to fit the podcast into my busy schedule and would have hated it to have become a patchy affair. Secondly, the asking of questions had become very infrequent, even though the listener amount kept increasing substantially. Lastly, the increased listener rate (where people new to the podcast download all the past episodes) had meant a large increase in the cost for hosting this podcast on the correct type of server and service.
What file type are the podcast episodes?
The podcast episodes are all in .mp3 format.
How many extra content files are there?
There are 38 extra content files in total covering editable documents, print-ready documents, and video files.
What file types comprise the extra content?
The file types come in three different files types: PDF, .doc and .mp4.
What is in the show notes?
Each of the show notes contains all of the relevant and helpful information (such as website links) relevant to the topic of each episode.

MP3 Audio Files, plus PDF and video files, on a custom-made flash drive
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
The contents of each podcast and other files are not listed. It’s really a huge list, but you can certainly assume that most topics about mentalism are covered here.
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
When a top pro gives you forty-five hours of information, you listen. This is the type of information that could easily have been part of a weekend seminar costing you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. But this costs far less than that, which makes this pretty much a no-brainer to get. You can see from the ad blurb that the topics include everything from stagecraft to marketing to controversial topics such as using playing cards in mentalism. And, yes, Paul explains some effects, too.
There are a few videos included, but this is mainly a 52-episode podcast that Paul did (one a week for a year). So, if you aren’t a good listener, or don’t like listening, this may be a waste of money because you’ll never get around to listening to the many hours on here. Then again, even listening to a few hours may give you your money’s worth. Other than that, there is certainly a wealth of valuable, practical, and useful information that is, without a doubt, well worth the price.
