Book Theme: "Friendly Day" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 2 of 2 of the 06/14/09 Live show.Finally got connected to Shawno ("Hypernonsense," "Shawnogram") on Skype -- which is when all that technology when to hell... There's a whole lotta cussin' edited out of this version, believe me. And I got stuck with the BTR recording for this part, which is lower-quality than my Callburner recording had been. Sorry about that; replaced all the music with originals, though, so that sounds better.Got very depressed with the tech failures. But part of the problem was my misunderstanding what BTR does and doesn't do. I could have fixed the call as easily as I broke it. It wasn't as broken as I thought it was.Music: Levar Thomas - "Can't Hide From Love"Talked to Shawno about doing live shows on UStream, commiserating about my troubles that day. Talked about Livestream.com, which is newer with more features. Dr. Normal and Cami Kaos use that for "StrangeLove Live."I obsess some more about Callburner failure. Talked about the technical aspects of recording from Skype -- which is pretty much always hard for everybody.Music: Levar Thomas - "Missing You"Discussed some of the complexities of domain names, and the differences in the way "Talkshoe" works, or worked.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

My second episode of the new "The IDSL" show, from June 16, 2009. I featured:"Alibi" from Troop of Echoes"Alibis" from Engine 11"aliensporebomb" from aliensporebomb"All Along" from The Oneironauts"All I Do" from Big B.I.Z.I've asked all the artists for their permission, and hopefully no one gets mad at me!Gee, this show is kinda fun!Theme: "140 Times" from RockOn.

Part one, the first hour of last Sunday's live show. I had some technical difficulties after the first hour, but this part came out really clear, with Callburner doing the recording, and a whole bunch of editing.Talked for a while about the swell deal I got at a nearby Rummage Sale: a Kodak Easy Share CX6200 and the original Kodak Easy Share printer dock, both in a box for $10. Cool, huh?Music: Levar Thomas - "Ain't All Bad" and "Ain't All Bad Radio Mix." Really like this tune, and it's got a really positive message. I liked the way the two versions worked together, so I ended up editing them into one, long piece. Hope he doesn't mind. Thanks, Levar!Tried to talk to Jen from "Inside My Head" on the show, but couldn't get the audio on her end to work correctly. This whole process, not Jen's fault, was what produced the escalating chaos later in the show. Sometimes I think doing a call-in show is a mistake, once I got good on the regular podcast. But if you don't challenge yourself, you never learn anything. Announced the last episode of "Flatland" is up on Podiobooks.com -- and it's also out there at the end of the Hiber-Nation feed, too, awaiting you.Finally got connected with Jen (aka "Queen of Haiku" on Twitter). She had some nice things to say about Levar's music (and I kept obsessing about the technical stuff). Got to play with my new Rejoiner for the show, too. (Still having problems understanding her on the Click to Talk connection; had a horrible AC hum, which I edited out For Your Listening Pleasure.)Talked a bit about Jen & Shawno having their experimented with live shows for their "Hypernonsense" podcast, the one they do together.Discussed the upcoming interview with Natalie Brown this coming Sunday.Music: Natalie Brown - "Hold Your Head Up High"Jen called back in on Skype, and it worked properly. FINALLY! But we had more technical difficulties with picky BTR stuff. But at least I could finally hear her okay... More discussion of live shows, UStream, All Things Azeroth.I've come to the conclusion I start having problems when I start getting call-ins. Which is a bad sign for doing a call-in show, now ain't it?Discussed Jen's experiences (she's a teacher) with Swine Flu, or not Swine Flu. I get all Scientific-sounding. Talked about "ReGenesis," this show I watch(ed) on Hulu. Wonder if it's still being produced? And did they jump the shark? And talked about "Castle," with Nathan Fillion starring. Looking forward to that being on Hulu, too!AND THEN I foolishly took a moment to play some music & get more coffee, and broke stuff again...Music: Natalie Brown - "You're Mysterious"... and off to part 2 of 2, dropping tomorrow...

Live on BTR 5 of 5 - After HoursGeneral chat. Nothing that I recall I need to provide links for.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Book Theme: "Friendly Day" from Kevin MacLeod.With sound effects from The Free Sound Project and from The Absolute Sound Effects Archive.

Part 4 of my live show on BTR this last SundayDiscussed something called OTS with Violet Light, and some other technical BTR stuffChatted with Robert aka Eareverence, who's been making the rounds of BTR showsI leapt to the defense of Disco, and reminisced about learning to talk by listening to an AM radio in my sleepI bragged at length about my Samson Zoom H2 Handy RecorderWe discussed Desert Rose's show being streamed on Fox, and her participating in a record attempt at having the most interviews in one day, to promote a bookDiscussed Eareverence's upcoming show on BTRMeredith from Braindouche! finally got to call in, and we talked briefly, but then we ran out of Streaming time. We talked a bit more in the After Hours segment you'll hear on Friday.I've come to the conclusion I don't do well with too many people on the show at once. I think a new rule will be only one caller on live at a time, unless there's a compelling reason to talk to a particular group all together. The big PR show was an example of a "compelling reason." They were all invited guests, and all PR podcasters, talking about PR and podcasting.Naturally, if I have an Invited Guest, that means one Caller at a time with a question for the Guest. Or maybe none, if that's what's comfortable for me.Make sense?For you longtime listeners to the regular show, I hope at least the new format hasn't been too disruptive for you. I hope I'm learning and getting better at doing a live show. And you're welcome to call in on Sunday and become part of the show yourself.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

The third part of my Live show on BTR. Yes, I know, but I didn't know in advance I'd be cutting it up, so it does start and end rather abruptly...Promo for "Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions" on Podiobooks.comViolet Light and I discuss video gamesNatalie Brown: "Around the World"Promo from "Wild Animals I Have Known," also on Podiobooks.comI whine piteously to convince Mer from the Braindouche! podcast to call into my showI talk about The RulesTheme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod

Thought I might use that as new theme music for "Hiber-Nation." And I might not; I do like Owen Poteat's performance of Pachelbel's "Canon in D." Tell me what you think!From Devo Spice of The FUMP: "Getting Old Sucks!"Part 5More talk about alla my books on Podiobooks.com.

I like to watch NASCAR racing, but I only understand parts of it. Up till the late 1990's, NASCAR had a rule, when there was an accident and the yellow flag went out, crashed cars on the track, busted tires & car parts & smoke & flames everywhere, the cars were supposed to "race to the line," dodging alla that junk on the track, to have a good position when the race restarted. A few years back, they made a new rule. The officials would decide in what order people would line up under the yellow, and no one would race to the line. But one guy would get moved up to the very tail end of the lead lap. "The Lucky Dog."I started listening to podcasts in 2006. I listened to practically every podcast I could find. I started thinking, "I could do that!" So I started my own podcast, in February 2007. Joe Murphy died of leiomyosarcoma on April 1st, 2007. I honestly don't know if I ever heard the podcasts Joe was on, but I have this vague memory I just might have. I listened to lots of podcasts. Or, honestly, I might not. I didn't get the chance to meet him. But the folks who went ahead of me, folks I've come to like, admire, and trust, liked, admired, and trusted Joe. He's one of those who made this community what it is. He's worth remembering.Podcasting isn't about the microphones, the computers, the software, the talk, the music, the time, or the money. It's about the people. And a whole lot of people took a chance on trying this new podcasting stuff, and even regular guys like Joe got a chance to speak. Even a regular guy like me.I got to tag along on the tail end of the lead lap. I'm the Lucky Dog. So yeah, I remember Joe. Even so.But listen to them other folks. They tell it better.

Just thought I'd let you know, at the end of the month, my reading of "Wild Animals I Have Known" by Ernest Thompson Seton will be available on Podiobooks.com. Yes, I know, I'm jumping the gun a bit. But (a) I'm proud of how the audiobook turned out, and (b) I'm rather proud of how the promo turned out, too. So I wanted to share that with you now.The official release date on Podiobooks.com will be 3/31/2009 -- which happens to be my Mom's birthday. Being unemployed (along with the rest of the world), I'll be hard put to buy anything for her, but this, I can do. Heck, she likes audio books. "Look Mommie, I made it myself -- and didn't use any macaroni or glue!"Hope you enjoy the promo. And given you'll be getting this on Friday the 13th.... Listen Carefully!Griz

K7 Comment Line: 206-350-6909Wild Animals I have Known, by Ernest Thompson Seton"REDRUFF The Story of the Don Valley Partridge" Parts 5 - 7This is the end of the book. I hope you ... I was about to say "enjoyed..."I hope you got as much out of the book as I did. Parts of the stories are sad. I have to admit, at moments in editing, I got tears in my eyes. I imagine that was mostly from the stories themselves. But I hope I did it justice. I believe I did. Thanks for listening.Show Theme: Pachelbel's "Canon in D" from Owen Poteat.Book Theme: "Sovereign" from Kevin MacLeod.

Forgot to mention, I now have "A Handy Guide for Beggars," by Vachel Lindsay, available on Podiobooks.com. I went back through all those files I'd recorded for Hiber-Nation, and did the necessary editing to fit them to the Podiobooks standards. So no, they don't sound any better than they did, but you can use the Personalized Feed mechanism to get the book sent episode-by-episode from beginning to end.So if you liked the book, you could recommend the Podiobooks feed to your friends. For example. I'm just sayin'. I've attached the promo for "Beggars" to the feed, so you'll have a copy you could share, or play on your podcast, if ya wanna. I'd appreciate that.Thanks!Griz

K7 Comment Line: 206-350-6909Back in Episode 56, I did that J Proctor Knott speech that in 1871 made Duluth one of the best-known cities in the country -- for a little while, anyway. I really liked the way the speech turned out, mostly.But I didn't like the way that show turned out. Didn't like the music,didn't like the audio quality, the flaws kept picking at me. So tonight I opened up Episode 56, re-edited it and cleaned it up a bit. And here it is. I liked it enough that I thought it worthwhile to get it as good as possible.Still not perfect, but a lot better, I think. If you missed it the first time, or even if not, I hope you like this version.Thanks for your patience with my perfectionism.
