Tenth Anniversary of 'No Holds Barred' Celebrated with Series of All-Star Shows
March 7, 2016, NEW YORK -- This week marks the tenth anniversary of the start of the ground-breaking combat sports and martial arts podcast, No Holds Barred, hosted and produced by the "conscience of combat sports", Eddie Goldman. To celebrate the continuous running of this show for all these years, this month and beyond we will be having a series of interviews with some of the most important people around the world in these sports.
So far interviews are lined up with:
*** Mike Chapman, wrestling author and historian, about the past, present, and future of wrestling, and the potential of catch wrestling.
*** Kid Peligro, the veteran "Pied Piper" 0f Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu about the growth and future of BJJ and grappling.
*** Kevin Jackson, Olympic gold medalist wrestler and present head coach of the Iowa State Cyclones.
*** John Perretti, the lifelong martial artist, former UFC and Battlecade Extreme Fighting matchmaker, TV commentator, author, and No Holds Barred senior correspondent.
*** Bob Carson, veteran MMA journalist, one of the few who remains independent and outspoken on the key issues facing MMA.
*** Charles Farrell, the award-winning boxing writer whose behind-the-scenes perspectives have pulled the covers off the often deceptive and illusory world of pro boxing.
*** Dr. Margaret Goodman, president and board chairman of the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, and a long-time fighter for health and safety for combat sports athletes including on the issues of concussions, head trauma, CTE, and doping.
*** Jens Sejer Andersen, international director of Play the Game, which has been exposing corruption and fighting for democracy in world sport.
The dates for the posting of these interviews will be determined as they take place, with more interviews planned.

No Holds Barred: Matthew Kaplowitz of Fight Nerd Radio
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with our correspondent Matthew Kaplowitz of Fight Nerd Radio, a new mixed martial arts podcast.
With just its third episode in production, Matthew Kaplowitz is creating a formula for his show which combines interviews, fight reports and discussion, analysis of the broader scene in mixed martial arts, and, of course, steady doses of nerdy humor.
We had a chance to sit down to talk with him both for his show, which you will hear on Fight Nerd Radio, and our show.
On No Holds Barred, we focused the most on the rise of the Bellator Fighting Championships, which just completed their first season of 12 shows. Matthew covered two of their cards live, and gave his impression of how these shows came off in person, as well as discussing what Bellator needs to do to parlay the success of their first season into making their promotion even stronger than it is now.
You can play or download No Holds Barred here. You can also download No Holds Barred here. If one link does not work, please try another. The show is in MP3 format, so may take some time to download.
The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by Ian Carpenter.

A Podcasting Association?
While there are still plenty of people who prefer to look backwards rather than forwards and react to the new forms of media like a rabbit does to a wolf, especially in the world of boxing, the ranks of bloggers, podcasters, vloggers, and the like continue to grow. As the new media becomes not-so-new anymore, the producers and creators using these recently-devised communications tools have begun meeting and talking with each other. A regular mass movement has been born, from the ground up, and is starting to mature.
One recent idea attracting attention has been the need for some type of association of podcasters. One such group, the Association for Downloadable Media (ADM), has already been formed, albeit with somewhat limited goals. Their mission statement lists their chief aim: “To provide leadership in and organization of advertising and audience measurement standards, research, education and advocacy to all those involved in portable media (Podcasts/ATOM/RSS media enclosures) across the Internet, iPods, MP3 players, mobile devices, P2P and other upcoming platforms.”
Others have criticized this effort as being too top down and corporate-oriented, including the setting of annual dues of US$150 for individual members.
This has led another group of people, on the initiative of Scott Bourne and Lee Gibbons of the podcasting company Podango, to begin a discussion and new blog “as an ad hoc attempt to kick start a podcasting association that might unite podcasters worldwide and provide a foundation of communication and interaction that will facilitate the growth and development of the podcasting movement.”
They have also posted a survey about this issue on their blog.
I completed this survey and added the following at the end in the field provided for open-ended comments. I encourage others to get involved in this effort as well:
I hope there can be one industry association. ADM's $150 yearly fee in a fledgling industry, however, is ridiculous, and shows that it aims mainly at larger corporate outfits rather than the untold number of bloggers, podcasters, vloggers, etc. It also shuts out many younger, working class, and poor people who are using these online tools to make their voices heard.
We need a group to represent our interests on issues of us getting recognized as legitimate (even though most of us are actually more legit) as the mainstream media machines. We need an advocate which can fight for us, and represent us directly.
Also raised by others is the need to create an organization which can help provide access to medical insurance in the US, where over 45 million people still have none.
The National Writers Union, of which I have been a member for over a decade, should have addressed this, but is dominated by dinosaurs who largely do not understand the Internet, or actually fear it.
This group should aim for the grassroots and avoid getting taken over by the large Internet and tech companies such as Yahoo, Google, Apple, etc. It cannot be a trade union as such, but can be an association of the unrepresented producers, creators, and other workers in the online media.
It also should be flexible enough to change whenever the next innovative forms of media arise, be they through cell phones, some new device to come, or whatever. Podcasting itself is pretty new, and a group should not tie itself down to just what exists in 2007.
Finally, democracy is key. It is very messy, but structurally it must be insured. Otherwise, it will be just another bureaucratic tool standing in the way of us achieving our rights.
Thanks, Eddie Goldman
