#94 Clothtalk The Original Scout Memorabilia Podcast With Chris Brightwell
Perhaps the first podcast I ever listened to back in 2006 was an ambitious project that was launched by some guys out of Coosa Lodge 50 in Alabama. Clothtalk was their idea for an audio podcast that would focus on the hobby of collecting Scouting memorabilia. For 29 episodes these guys brought on guests for interviews, had a Trade-O-Ree correspondent, and asked their guests “what’s your favorite patch?”
Chris Brightwell was part of that original team working as the engineer making the magic happen. In this interview Chris goes back to 2006-2007 and shared where the idea was born, who made it happen, and reminisces about how this podcast was maybe ahead of it’s time. I say right from the beginning in the intro that their podcast was the inspiration for me to pick up a microphone and start SHF Radio back in 2011. Today thanks to Chris finding the original episodes and show notes pages the show can be enjoyed again at https://anchor.fm/clothtalk.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
