My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-f32912b2b6863a5fafceb4cc1d6b4a24}

It’s the last NaPodPoMo for 2008, and I’m pretty pumped about that. Now I can get into making longer, more elaborate shows, and not having to rush around getting a show recorded and on the feed right away in order to hit the deadline.

Sadly, I’ve gained about six pounds from just messing around and not being careful, and am now going to use the Mary McDougall mini-diet to eradicate some of the baggage and get back on track. Being a no-added-fat vegan is not so easy, especially when you can’t expect people to accommodate your eating plan (It would be nice if they did, but I don’t expect it.).

Once again, if you know of any musicians who would like me to play some of their pieces or if you have some expertise in the areas of liberal politics, atheism, skepticism, freethought, veganism, or anything else along those lines, I would like to have you on the show.

This is the second to the last NaPodPoMo episode for the month of November 2008. I am really happy about this because recording and posting every single day is getting rough. I don’t see how some people do it!

I would like to spend more time actually prepping for the recording session, writing what I want to talk about, having serious discussions with people, etc. And I want to have more guests besides the people who are always in my house anyway–not that I don’t appreciate them!

I would like to start playing indie musicians. I have a lot of folks I hope to play on the show and look forward to finding more. If you know someone or are a musician yourself, let me know. And I want to interview people who are in the fields of atheism, veganism, animal rights, environment, freethought philosophies, science, skepticism, or liberal politics, as this is the focus of my show.

A Stephen Colbert puppet trashes Jenny McCarthy and her “expertise” on autism and vaccinations. Brilliant!

I also appreciated that one guy’s awesome tats.

About the fireball in Alberta, Canada.

I hate Christmas. I hate everything about it, especially the pressure to tap your bank account out to try to convince people that you love them by how financially wrecked you have become. And my mother is a Christmas person, which is why we don’t see eye-to-eye. Well that, and the whole religion thing.

I hate the time pressure, the pressure to be all happy, the pressure to be original, the pressure to spend spend spend. I hate feeling obligated and hate that others feel obligated on my behalf, because I really don’t want anything. I love my friends and family and would rather see them at another time–any time I see people I love, it’s a festival. I don’t need a calendar date.

I’m sad. I love my mother. And I just don’t love Christmas.

Chocolate Genius - “My Mom”

I came. I saw. I ate vegan when everyone else was not. I’m still hungry, but I’ll survive. I forgot to bring the humus, and nobody but me ate the other vegan food I brought. And I felt a too noticed by people wanting to know about my diet plan because I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m embarrassed, but I’ll survive (If only it were possible to be invisible.). I tried to call my mom to wish her a happy Thanksgiving, but she wasn’t home and she won’t call me back I’m sure. And it’s a boring, noisy, windy show. I suggest you skip it. I try to do better tomorrow.

And now I’m eating too many peanuts and Trader Joes peppermint Joe Joes. Alas. So much for eating Bernard-healthy. I’ll be paying for this later on with high blood sugar readings. I’m a little verklempt.

I’m at my sister-in-law’s house and am having no end of trouble with their network, so the show may or may not be up by the time midnight rolls around.

Oh well, it isn’t that great a show anyway.

I feel like this:
