Meet James Michael Hollenstein | Podcast Host

We had the good fortune of connecting with James Michael Hollenstein and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi James Michael, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Consistent and engaging content is the most important factor behind the success of The Record Machine Show. By consistently delivering quality episodes/content that resonates with my audience, I have been able to build a loyal following and grow my brand. Additionally, actively engaging with my audience through social media and other channels has helped me establish a strong connection with my listeners/followers, further contributing to the success of my podcast/brand.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The Record Machine Show is a platform where I dive deep into conversations with a wide range of interesting individuals, from singer/songwriters, bands, solo artists, producers, engineers and even fellow broadcasters. What sets me apart is my commitment to creating meaningful and insightful content that resonates with my audience. I take pride in my ability to offer a unique perspective and foster engaging discussions that inspire and educate.

Professionally, my journey has been filled with challenges, but I have overcome them with perseverance, dedication, and a positive mindset. I have learned valuable lessons along the way, such as the importance of staying true to my passion, being adaptable to change, and never giving up on my goals.

What I want the world to know about me is that I ‘am dedicated to providing high-quality content that makes a difference. My brand is all about inspiring, empowering, and connecting with my listeners & guests in a meaningful way. I ‘am excited about the impact I can make through my podcast and look forward to continuing to grow and evolve in the future.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I reside in sunny South Carolina in the North Myrtle Beach area with my beautiful wife Robyn and our 3 fur babies. We have two beautiful children Kelsey and Matthew who visit us a few times a year from New jersey. Whether it’s the kids or some friends we like to keep things simple.

We would start the day off going out for breakfast at Eggs Up or The Bonefish Grill. Who doesn’t like eggs, pancakes and a good screwdriver?

After breakfast we would pack the cooler and head to the beach for some surf, sand and relaxation.

For lunch a great place to visit is Brisket in North Myrtle beach. They make the best cheesesteaks in the area. Another great option would be to hit The Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet. Restaurant Row is all along the strip with plenty of places to choose from. I personally like Drunken Jacks.

After lunch there are plenty of things to do. Barefoot landing in Myrtle Beach is a great place to visit. Many places to shop and let’s not forget about The Crooked Hammock Brewery. A nice place to stop in and try the local beers and grab a snack.

For dinner I would take them to Clarks in Little River. You can dine inside or out. The outside area has the perfect view. The food there is outstanding and there are also shops in the area you can visit after dinner.

To close out the night I’d say we would go see a show at The House of Blues, The Alabama Theatre or the Carolina Opry. There is always someone cool performing at those venues.

Other activities to consider would be going to a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game, they are a Chicago Cubs minor league baseball team, always a great time. We may also visit the 707 Gun range and hit a few targets; this would be a great activity on a rainy day.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my listeners. It’s each and every one of you who has contributed to the success of my podcast. Your support means the world to me, and it is your engagement that fuels my passion for creating content. I look forward to what lies ahead as we continue this adventure together!
