SpeshFX was launched in the summer of 2019, based largely off of interviews conducted in 2018. In the weeks following its launch, SpeshFX was included on Apple Podcasts' New and Noteworthy curated lists for Arts, Performing Arts, and Music. Not bad for a little indy podcast if I do

I came across a bunch of hysterical stories that I was dying to share with you, but didn’t fit in the narrative, so I made an episode just for those stories. Definitely don’t listen to Episode 6 in a place where you don’t want to laugh out loud ;)

From Ed Sheeran to America’s Got Talent, Beatboxing regularly appears in serious pop culture moments. Episode 5 explores the extent of Beatboxing in pop culture and the effect that exposure has on the Beatboxing community.

Most beatboxers know the path they need to take in order to grow in the community. And that is because of the organizations and events that define the beatboxing life cycle. But how did that come to be?

Here’s a mini-episode about one beatboxing set: Venom by Trung Bao. Venom went viral in the beatbox scene and Tani tries to figure out why. Hear from Trung Bao himself, the reigning Beatbox World Champion Alexinho, and music expert Charlie Harding.

Battles are the biggest event on a beatboxer’s calendar. Join Tani at the 2018 American Beatbox Championship. You’ll hear about the 2018 champion, Bloomer, and how it took him half a decade to earn his title. That and much more in Episode 3: Battles.
