Book three of J.C. Hutchins podcast novel starts downloading tomorrow!

Personally, I’m not huge into podcast novels. I prefer to have the real thing in my hand to carry around and read whenever I want. I’m a visual person. I’ve started quite a few of those at podiobooks.com and I either get too distracted to keep it all straight, or frustrated with having to wait for the next installment or just plain don’t want to sit in this stupid chair enough hours to hear it all. Sometimes I simply can’t stand the voice of the reader.

But this series is too good. I imagine someday it will be in print, but until then I can’t wait to find out what happens. Even if (with my crap memory) I can’t remember which clone is which and everything that happened in book one. J.C. is the bomb at using different voices for each clone, at having guest recaps so you can remember the basics week-to-week, and the actual story is so interesting. 7 clones trying to stop the man who is trying to take over the world.

Join the clone army. You won’t be sorry.

Dragon*Con Yeah!

One of the few things I have to look forward to in my life. Ain’t that some shit.

No, I’m not one of the special people of Wingin’ It that knows what’s inside Mike’s head. Lately I just show up mid-day on Saturday and hold my breath. I mean yeah, you could tell something was brewing but I’m not in the know, ya know. Anyway. I can roll with the changes, though I miss Evo tons, I really do. Its like when a marriage breaks up and you have to figure out which friend to support. I’m shallow enough to say I’m hanging with Michael because he still has the parties. Evo starts having parties (getting me out of my house) and I’ll rethink. Maybe. Gawd that is shallow. Anyway, I hope to run into Evo occasionally so I can get/give good hug.

So check out Wingin It 3-D as sit next to me as I found out what happens next.

Midwest Teen Sex Show

Jun 26th

(link stolen from sfeley)

He found a great (humorous) video podcast about teen sexuality. These girls are fantastic! There are only two shows so far but these young ladies are very natural, quirky and the production is top rate. And they’re short, 3-5 minutes so check them out. Get the feed! Share with every teen you know.

I’ll be passing the link on to my teen as soon as she gets her lazy butt out of bed. Though I’m sure its too late for the Abstinence episode, she might get something useful from the Masturbation one. And she’ll hook up all her friends, if not for the info – for the laughs. Its good entertainment.

I used Buck’s truck yesterday to ferry some things up to the studio for Kris. I felt some sort of desperation to get there all morning. First, the gas station I stopped at had a power failure just as I started to pump gas, so I had to wait for them to reboot and refund everyone else in front of me and I was late meeting Kris. A closed highway interchange made me even later. Poor Kris, she’s so patient.

So we loaded up the stuff (I broke a couple of fingernails) and I went around the corner to try the gas thing again. She went to grab machinegirl and I had to pull over on the highway to retuck some blowing plastic before I caused a massive pile-up and then forced myself to drive the actual speed limit (*gasp*) all the way up to the studio.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to spend the day with my friends.

I can’t tell you how hot Michael A. Stackpole is in person. Absolutely yummy. But I totally acted normal and didn’t attack. He’s an oozer. But, I will continue to act like a normal person around him so as not to make him think I’m a crazy person.

Anyway, nice long day amongst friends.

This morning we went to the restaurant where Ginnie’s working. I’m sure she’s right – all the people are nice – but that place sucks. The food is awful, and slow. She’s supposed to get half the stuff off the buffet (I laugh, the buffet is the smallest portable food serving cart I’ve ever seen) and yet the cooks couldn’t seem to keep it filled. The “hash browns” showed up as we were leaving, the sausage was pink in the middle and the biscuits at the next table were still frozen in the middle. Poor kid, at least she’s gaining experience at this place. And $33 in tips today, woot.

Then we went to check out the new Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. This place is a monster and it was packed! We’re not into fishing or hunting or most of that outdoor stuff but y’all have to go once. Every third display rack has some sort of stuffed dead animal on it. Get up close and personal to a skunk or squirrel, turkey or chipmunk. Huge areas set aside for larger dead animals. A taxidermist dreamscape. There’s even a gun room upstairs with half a rhinoceros. The front half. Waterfalls, enormous fish tanks and the little creek running through the middle of the store is actually stocked. The shooting range isn’t open yet, but we looked at handguns. There was this one guy practically wetting his pants trying to get his wife to decide which one she wanted. Too much testosterone in one building.

Headed home and I napped for a bit. Now comes the long evening being civil until the week can begin again.

Oh, and Max called this morning. Everything is fine at his end, Ashley finally visits the doctor this upcoming week but they’re guessing a Christmasish due date.

i'm gonna bitch about this podcast.

Jun 8th

Ya know. When he tells his real life stories, that is interesting. He’s funny as hell. And IF he shaved about two-thirds of his segment bumpers, it would help. The first line of the Religious Morons of the Week bumper is fine, after that its just annoying. I could live without the grandma skit because I can’t understand half the shit she says. Too what, nasal? High pitched? And there are no subtitles in podcasting. Let’s see, what else. Yeah, the rabbi guy droning on about someplace boring? Fast forwarding through those chunks.

I like George when he’s being George. All that other stuff gets in the way. He needs an editor.

That’s my 2 cents.

Not that my opinion counts for anything in the scheme of things.

Evo is my Yoda

Jun 4th

And I don’t know why I title this post as such but I said I would so here it is.

I don’t know what the fuck is wrong. Seriously. I’m not IN the inner circle, not in on the emails and phone calls, don’t have access to the secrets. I just show up most Saturdays and spend the day. So from that I get this.

If Wingin’ It were Frankenstein‘s Monster, Michael would be the working body and Evo would be the lightening that brings it to life. I have noticed that Summer hasn’t been around as much. I thought it was just life and work and stuff. I have noticed that Evo missed a bunch of shows, but again, I thought that was due to his son’s burgeoning hockey career and a holiday in the islands wedding they attended. So Summer brought in Brian and Tim to pick up the slack. Michael is an octopus already, running the board and pushing buttons and sliding sliders, too distracted by the mechanics of the shows to totally host them by himself. I get that. Brian is a great addition – the generator that runs the Frankenstein in the absence of the lightening – but he’s not Evo. We all miss Joe, we all miss Jack, but life goes on. I just sit over in my corner, occasionally monitoring the chat room and making comments. Scheduling every Saturday to these shows is difficult if you have a life. I don’t actually have one so I’ll still be going.

But I have no idea what the specifics are. Maybe I’ll hear and maybe I won’t. Regardless, Evo is my friend and I hope I’ll catch up with him . . . somewhere. And Sheila! I’m assuming Sheila is not going to be around either. I dunno.

Gorram it. I wonder what he’s going to be doing now?

Today's Check out this Podcast Report

May 25th

This is the second installment of this guy’s podcast. He’s aiming to assign points, or in this case minus points to various subjects. This week its negative points to TV shows. Last week it was positive points to podcasters. Scott beat Mur by three lousy points.

Anyway, the guy is just starting out. Supposed to have someone else on with him starting next show and so far they’ve been twenty-five minutes or so. Not too long.

Check him out.

Podcasting Pet-Peeves

Apr 6th

I’ve been wandering around amongst various podcasts and I have come up with one huge pet peeve and one minor one.

1. People who uh-huh constantly when someone else is talking. An occasional response, a grunt of agreement, a snide comment, a quick quip – these are all fun and acceptable. But uh-huhing like you’re waiting for them to end their talking just so you can jump in is rude. Almost as annoying are those fake-sounding nervous giggles. We’re not laughing along. We’re not. Listen back to your ‘casts and see if you have this problem.

2. Take a breath! There are a couple of really interesting podcasters that have this problem. You can tell where they’ve edited and the end result is nobody takes a breath. Not that everyone needs bumpers between segments, but if you’re not going to use bumpers or even a small beep, you need to leave in some sort of hesitation rather than running from one subject into the next. Listen to people who speak professionally and you’ll notice they hesitate or take a breath between subjects.

Now the content is good/interesting/funny but is sometimes ruined by an annoying presentation.

Not that I’m anybody but a listener. What the hell do I know. And its Friday and I’ve run out of podcasts to listen to for the week, so I’m off to find some more.
