What an age to be alive! Technology has advanced in such a way that humankind now has access to things we've never had before. We have cars that can park themselves, we can travel from one side of the world to the other in a matter of hours, and we all carry a supercomputer in our pockets that have more computational power than was needed to put humankind on the moon. This latest advancement has given us perhaps the greatest gift in the history of humanity: the BBQ podcast!
All exaggeration aside, BBQ podcasts are on the rise, following the increase in popularity of podcasts in general. Not familiar with podcasts? Let me fill you in.
A podcast is like a radio program. It's audio-based and can be played on a variety of devices. And like radio programs, podcasts come in all shapes and sizes and cover all kinds of topics. In fact, you can find a podcast on just about any topic you can think of. But why are podcasts so popular?
First of all, podcasts are internet-based, and in this modern society, anything online is cool. However, there's a lot more to it than this. As they are hosted online, they are on-demand, which in this current Netflix-era, is a huge draw. This allows you to be in total control: you can decide what you listen to and when. Naturally, you now have access to a whole new level of multi-tasking. Hate washing dishes? Put your favourite podcast on, and you won't even notice you're doing it. Walking the dog, housework and waiting for kids to finish their extra-curriculars all become awesome with podcasts. Finally, as mentioned before, there is an unlimited variety of podcasts available. There are fictional dramas, comedies, interviews, sports, business shows and so much more. Oh, did I mention that 99.9% of podcasts are free?
Listening in has never been easier. If you're on Apple, there is a native app built into every Apple device. It's called Apple Podcasts۪. If you're on Android, check out the Overcast app. Once installed, do a search for any topic and you'll find a list of shows and episodes. Find one you like and give it a listen. If you like it, click Subscribe and everytime a new episode is released, you'll be notified that it's waiting for you to listen when you're ready. Many podcasts, including the Smoking Hot Confessions podcast, are available on audio-streaming services such as Spotify. And don't forget about Bluetooth - if you can play music from your phone through your car stereo, you can play a podcast.
So, what's out there in the world of BBQ podcasts? There are 3 common formats of BBQ podcast: The first is what I refer to as the Weekly Chat Show. This is where the host or hosts interview a special guest. The guest might be a BBQ competitor, promoter or someone from the world of BBQ business. Episodes are typically published weekly and run from 30 minutes to an hour.
The second type is what I call the BBQ Program. These shows differ in that they will have 3, 4 or even 5 guests on for shorter periods of time, and may include other segments like listener call-ins, reviews and more. These shows typically run around the 2-hour mark and more resemble a traditional radio drive-time program than an individual show.
At Smoking Hot Confessions, episodes are released in series, where each series focuses on a different aspect of the world of BBQ. For example, Season One was called Comp Read and focussed on what people would need to know if they wanted to get into Competition BBQ. Season Two was called Living the Dream and each episode was a deep-dive into the different BBQ businesses that you could get into. The upcoming Season Three is my Road Trip and chronicles my recent journey through Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, including representing Australia at the World's BBQ Championships in Houston. Between seasons, I release episodes recorded live at various BBQ festivals and competitions around Australia.
So just how big are BBQ podcasts? Earlier this year, the National BBQ & Grilling Association (an American organisation focussing on the business of BBQ) had their annual Excellence Awards and Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. For the first time, podcasts got their own category in the Digital Media division. The NBBQA examined the range of BBQ podcasts out there and awarded prizes accordingly. Smoking Hot Confessions was very proud to come in Second Place in these awards. To be recognised by such a prestigious American organisation amongst such a high-calibre cohort of fellow podcasts was an absolute honour
So now it's over to you. Pull out your phone, or jump on a computer. Open up a podcast app, search for Smoking Hot Confessions and press that big Subscribe button. Then, hit up and subscribe to the list of winners from the 2018 NBBQA Digital Media: Audio Series awards. Then light some coals, crack a cold one, and join us as we explore the world of BBQ in our own unique ways.

The information we collect depends on how you deal with us. It may include:
We do not seek to collect sensitive information (such as health or financial hardship information) and ask that you do not send it to us unless we have asked for it.
Wherever it is reasonable and practicable, we collect personal information directly from you, when you place an order, create an account, request a quote, call or email us, subscribe to our newsletter, enter a competition, book a masterclass, or visit our showroom.
We also collect information automatically when you use our website, through cookies, analytics tools and advertising pixels.
Sometimes we receive your information from a third party, including online marketplaces you have ordered through, payment and finance providers, delivery carriers, and our suppliers where a warranty claim is being handled on your behalf. Where we collect your information from someone other than you, we take reasonable steps to make sure you know we hold it and why.
We collect, hold and use personal information so we can:
If you choose not to give us the information we ask for, we may not be able to process your order, arrange delivery or assist with a warranty claim.
We record inbound and outbound telephone calls for training, quality assurance and monitoring purposes, and to keep an accurate record of orders, delivery arrangements, product advice and warranty discussions.
You will be told at the start of a call that it is being recorded. If you would prefer your call not to be recorded, please tell the team member you are speaking with and we will offer an alternative, such as continuing by email or arranging a call back on an unrecorded line.
Call recordings may contain personal information including your name, contact details, address and order details. They are stored securely within our telephone system, access is limited to authorised staff and management, and they are retained for 12 months before being deleted.
We do not use call recordings for marketing, and we will not publish or share a recording of your call without your consent, except where we are required or permitted by law to do so. You can request access to a recording of your own call using the contact details at the end of this policy.

We disclose personal information only where it is necessary to run our business or where the law requires it. This may include:
We require our service providers to protect your information and to use it only for the purpose we engaged them for.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Some of the providers we use store or process personal information outside Australia. The countries in which those recipients are likely to be located include the United States and Canada, Ireland, Singapore or the Philippines.
Before disclosing your information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps to ensure it will be handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Order, invoice and tax records are kept for at least 7 years in line with our record-keeping obligations. Call recordings are kept for 12 months. When information is no longer needed, we destroy it or de-identify it.
If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and we will tell you what steps you can take to protect yourself.
You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is wrong, out of date or incomplete. Email sales@bbqspitrotisseries.com.au or write to us at the address at the end of this policy.
We will ask you to verify your identity before we release any information. We aim to respond within 30 days. There is no fee for making a request, though we may charge a reasonable fee for the cost of supplying a large amount of information.
In some circumstances the law allows us to refuse a request, for example where giving access would unreasonably affect another person's privacy. If we refuse, we will tell you why in writing and explain how to complain.
We may send you emails, SMS messages or, occasionally, calls about new products, special offers, masterclasses and events. We only do this where you have given us your details and have not opted out.
You can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, replying STOP to a marketing SMS, or emailing sales@bbqspitrotisseries.com.au. We will action your request promptly.
Opting out of marketing does not stop us sending you messages about an order you have placed, such as order confirmations, dispatch notifications and delivery updates. If you ask us where we obtained your details from, we will tell you if it is reasonable and practicable to do so.
If you believe we have mishandled your personal information or breached the Australian Privacy Principles, please tell us first so we have a chance to put it right.
