See you in a week with fresh, new content!
I apologize gentlemen and Summer about reporting that your Cover-to-Cover number was down. It was a mistake in the number I had in my cell phone. I have been unable to find the number to correct it in my phone.
I LOVE podcasts. I am subscribed to about 70 (down from 85 when I lost my library after upgrading to iTunes 5.0). At the moment, I have 11.6 DAYS of podcast content.
And, like my tastes in other things, it is an eclectic mix (sci-if, tech, news, sports, movies, literature, quiz/trivia shows, etc.). Some examples are:
The Dragon Page Mondo feed (which is about the first thing I check every day)
The Signal
Sci-Fi Dig
Sci-Fi Talk
Cinecast (which just did a Serinity review)
Ebert & Roper
Statler & Waldorf
DVD Weekly
Various and Sundry DVDs
DVD Talk Radio
NPR: 7AM EST News Summary
NPR: Story of the Day
One for the Thumb – a Steelers Podcast
MLB Radio Daily
ESPN Radio
Escape Pod
Geek News Central
This Week in Tech (TWIT)
Jimmy Jett (a podcast about nothing – why didn’t I get there first…)
Pod Finder
Podquiz.com
Pod Screen Test
Shakespeare-by-another-name
etc. …
I keep up on about a third of them and am catching up on the rest in between.
Loved the show. Summer you did a great job on the Narnia story, thanks Evo for keeping Mike away from it (LOL).
The best part was the interview with Walter. I really enjoyed that. He is such a real pro and the genuine article. I am so looking forward to his performance on the upcoming STAR TREK: New Voyages release.
Just saw Serenity and well its totally SAD and great all in one! So when are you guys going to release the unbleeped review of it!???
How about something different , an interactive review, where we can have a interactive chat room with skype or something where we all al throw our 2 cents in and you guys comment as well? that would be cool!
Just a note about the comments on the royal family: Queen Elizabeth is a big Dr. Who fan, she apparently took the dvd box set with her on vacation in Scotland!
Also, she has an iPod, so you never know who might be listening…
Cheers!
Hmm… the droid guide includes the rather ancient Hunter-Killer series? To what ext- Hey! What the-*ZAP*
“Saluation: Greetings, Meatbags! This is HK-47, and I was able to access this archaic means of communication (what, no holonet?) to express my opinion of this by subduing this poor meatbag here with an Aratech 100 series sonic rifle.”
*HACK* You…damn assassin droid! Try to kill me, will you?
“Objection: It was not my immediate goal to exterminate you so quickly, but rather to merely subdue you so you would not be in the way.”
I don’t call potentially lethal sound waves ‘merely’!
“Threat: Although the master may not like it, I can rectify this problem, permanently.”
Try it and you’re spare parts, tin can!
…uh, gotta run. Homicidal droid, you know. Loved the show. PS: Watching Firefly, and love it! Liked the bleeped comments.
Grant beat me to the comment about the Queen being an iPod owner… so I’ll just post a link to a news article about it:- http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=11875
