The Jim Dupree podcast will be taking two weeks off while Glenn, The Interviewer undergoes facial reconstructive surgery. Look for Jim’s triumphant return on April 4th.

Canadian podcasting guru (and Foursevens founder) Tod Maffin plugged Jim Dupree in an interview he did with the Vancouver Sun. Thanks Tod!

Do you Digg Jim Dupree? I do. You should too.

The reviews are pouring in!

Captain Vlog calls Jim Dupree “The Authority Of All Things Unimportant” and goes on to explain how Jim

pulls us along an imaginary, parallel reality of pretend expertise.

And Julie at The Gadgeteer says

During my Saturday morning surf-a-thon, I came across another really good video blog site: Jim Dupree: Enthusiast. Hilarious stuff; you must check it out!

Steve from Podguide.TV can relate to Jim, saying the podcast

resonated almost too well with me, a man who has too many hobbies to mention. Every week Jim has a new passion, and tries to be as authoritative as his clearly limited introduction to the subject matter will allow.

Steve goes on to call the show “Crisply made.”

Alison says

If you haven’t already discovered Jim Dupree: Enthusiast on your own, then I’m here to tell you about it. This is a video podcast…and it’s funny. Download a few episodes. You’ll laugh.

Ollie from the Yep Sport blog was into the orienteering episode, including it in his roundup of orienteering podcasts.

It’s actually pretty funny, although not very much to do with orienteering!

True that, Ollie. True that.

As we mentioned earlier, Steve Garfield thinks

This has got to be one of the funniest vlogs I’ve seen in a long time.

aBe provides a Spanish-speaking viewpoint:

Hace un par de días descubrí este (link a iTunes) “joya” de podcast. He visto unos pocos episodios de los 18 que lleva publicados. Jim es todo un personaje, en cada uno de los capítulos nos muestra su especial visión de los perros, culturismo, el viento, la pizza, etc.. . Eso sí, siempre con entusiasmo. Dadle una oportunidad, yo no puedo parar de reirme. Aviso: Es en inglés y la calidad del sonido no es la mejor.

Zackwp explains how Jim Dupree stands out from the pack:

A lot of people don’t like podcasts, and that’s understandable. They’re normally boring, too long, and they take themselves too seriously! Not Jim Dupree. He’s a ________ entheusiast and his Video Podcast is nothing but straight-up… well, something.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Jim Dupree: Enthusiast was recently featured on Steve Garfield’s Vlog Soup podcast. He says, “This has got to be one of the funniest vlogs I’ve seen in a long time. I was going to show you a shorter excerpt, but couldn’t make myself cut any of the intro out.”

Thanks for the kind words Steve. We’re glad you enjoy our podcast.
