Finally, another long awaited Podcast review, tank the stars. Thank you for helping me procrastinate my homework. keep up the good work!

For some reason I'm only getting the first 30 seconds of the podcast.

Those personal segments were great guys!

This whole John Lear "phenomena" is certainly interesting.


Oh! and Skeptic Overlord

Welcome to the Club!!!



Speaking of the events of September 2001, do you guys think people demanding answers will eventually win the day by raising awareness and effecting change or will we become targeted as insurgents and "enemy combatants" under an encroaching police state?


.

The review was excellent gentlemen...!


I have to say that hearing what domains (and the numbers) visiting is one of my favorite segments. The 9/11 segment was very interesting and so am going to check it
out after this post. The Zed Show's little humorous intro continues to crack me up everytime I listen to it...

Congrats Again on a fine show!

And belated birthday wishes to Mr. Gray...!

Thanks for the comments.

We've been having some tremendous technical problems that are primarily my doing... because I despise post-production.

The goal is for a 100% live work-flow, and that's essentially what has been happening for all our shows. All the mixing of the music, bumpers, and podcast playback you hear is happening in realtime as we're talking, and Springer is able to hear it all through Skype.

Over the past several days, we've been trying to integrate more audio form more sources into the shows, and required trying to "hijack" the audio from my sound cart program, iTunes, QuickTime, and web browser, while recording it all live. Well... we had some memory buffer capacity issues, and outright software errors midstream in our last two attempts.

I think we're close to nailing it this time, except my mic gain was a bit low (sheesh)... and Springer came in booming on Skype last night. Next time, always next time.

Noticed it was a bit lower than normal ... no big deal. I kept expecting you to bump it up or for Springer to mention it, but he was too busy booming over the very clear Skype connection.

It was an Excellent podcast, nonetheless.

Can't wait for the next episode, the content is sure to be "nucular"

I have't listened to it yet, BUT if I was "booming" and clear then S.O. certainly got something RIGHT in those settings, the one "unprofessional" part of our show has always been how poor the audio quality of my voice is over Skype.

I was going to say something about your mic gain but I just figured it was Skype, next time...

Gonna have a listen now...

Listening... Your mic gain was not that bad at all, it's a little low but nothing too bad at all.

ACK.. I point the finger at my Neumann Microphone, it's that culprit don't you see, yeau, thats the ticket,,, it's the microphones fault, ban the damn mic... not me!

Mondo Bizarro #3 should be available Wednesday eve-Thursday morn (dependent on how long the "hold-staff-checking" part on your end takes...)


Thanks for not banning me quite yet..lol,
Johnny

Minion here...

It's about freaking time, Mr. Overlord! I'm glad you watched the 9/11 movie. That was really good. With the "official story" on one end and the holigrams on the other, it's probable (and plausable) that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Looking forward to the next show...

Is there a way we can look at the stats for this site?

if not its cool.

I was just curious.
