The incredible Stephen Colbert

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. I am jealous of Stephen Colbert and his massive talent, I am wearing all blue except for my shoes, and I am going to play board games with friends tonight.

Also, I’m playing Andy Stice‘s “Treat Me Like Trash”  The album is also called Treat Me Like Trash. There is not a lot about him that I can find on the internet except for what his record company put out about him, but he’s extraordinarily talented and I hope he finds out that I played his song. And I found him originally on Music Alley.

Andy Stice

I am very grateful to Jennifer Navarrete who invented National Podcast Post Month (this is our fifth year!), and Dave Winer  and Adam Curry, the inventors of podcasting and the duel “podfathers” of the technology.

I am very grateful to Jennifer Navarrete who invented National Podcast Post Month (this is our fifth year!), and Dave Winer  and Adam Curry, the inventors of podcasting and the duel “podfathers” of the technology. I am also very grateful for my boss at the Podcasting Track at Dragon*con, Robynn “Swoopy” McCarthy, and am sad that this past year was her last as director. I am grateful to my past co-hosts in podcasting: Sasha Katz, Dwight Lyman, Sean Boyce, and Cesar Macedo. I’m grateful to the first online friend I had from Livejournal days who actually podcasted a very angry retort to people who voted for George W. Bush over John Kerry in 2004, which was the very first podcast I ever listened to, Richard Bluestein, aka Madge Weinstein of Yeast Radio. I’m grateful to Nate and Di, as well as Dawn and Drew, who first showed me that a husband and wife can be a comedy duo in podcasting. And I’m very grateful to Shawn and Jen, a couple whose creativity, intelligence, raw talent, and support of other podcasters is amazing. You are both so very kind. And I’m grateful to Graham Holland, whose hilarious and wonderful song “Never Trust A Panda” was one of the first songs Sasha and I played on the old Coffee and Tea Show podcast, and who has gone on to do It’s A Frog’s Life all these many years, which is an important UK-based acoustic podcast. And to George Smyth, who was the very first person to interview me on his One Minute How To podcast–the subject was “how to remove a bra without taking off your shirt.” Thanks to all the people on the Podcasters Yahoo Group and to Rob Walsh of Podcast 411, all of whom taught me to podcast. And lastly to Amber and Rusty, who first welcomed me into their group which was called The Georgia Podcasting Network.

I’m playing Steve Stellavato‘s “Thanksgiving.”

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. I’ve been trying to catch up with other podcasters who have been taking part in National Podcast Post Month, but I really should listen to them in daylight hours. Last night I fell asleep with my friend Sam Chupp talking on his podcast, and I had a dream about a man who was following me around and wouldn’t stop talking!

I’ve done searches in iTunes for some podcasters and have found quite a few taking part, many of whom are not even registered on the Ning site as far as I can tell! I’m glad that Jennifer Navarrete‘s idea for this activity has spread beyond the small group of maybe 50 people in November of 2007 to what it is today. I first heard about NaPodPoMo the very first year on the Podcasters Yahoo Group, which is, since September of 2004, still going strong!

Not sure I’ll keep podcasting once NaPodPoMo is over–I’d be more likely to if I had a partner. Would anyone like to podcast with me? Also, would anyone like to still hear some of my old shows: Coffee and Tea Show and Rocky Horror Pod Show? I may have some of them still on a hard drive somewhere and if there’s enough interest, I may be persuaded to make them available for download–Libsyn pulled down the old feeds so they are no longer available on iTunes.

The Involvement

The music today is by the indie punk band The Involvement “So What” from self-titled EP.

Dog wants in, dog wants out. You can’t explain it.

Yesterday I found out that one of my sisters is in the hospital with Takotsubo (stress-induced) cardiomyopathy, probably due to drugs she was prescribed for narcolepsy. What a scare! Her prognosis is good though, and I’m glad she was smart enough to head for the hospital when the symptoms of sudden congestive heart failure presented.

Today I am playing “Molly Ringwald is Dead” by Love Supine from their album Soundtrack to Live, Love and Drugs. It came from MusicAlley.com. I am kicking myself that I didn’t post this on the Molly Ringwald movie-themed show.

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. A new day, a new podcast. I didn’t get started on this very early due to a paying gig. I had to make some charts for a client. I could have done them in Microsoft Excel except I don’t know how, so I . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-03-11]]>

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. A new day, a new podcast. I didn’t get started on this very early due to a paying gig. I had to make some charts for a client. I could have done them in Microsoft Excel except I don’t know how, so I did them in Adobe Illustrator. My copy of Illustrator is FUBAR though as I can’t get it to update, so it’s really buggy. Nothing I do can fix it. I may have to go ahead and buy the latest version, except it isn’t worth it as I so rarely use it.

Arran Arctic

Today I am playing Arran Arctic‘s great song “You Can Have It So Much Better” from his album In My Hands. Wouldn’t it be great theme music to some indie movie? I found him on Music Alley.

I was just herp-derping on Facebook when I looked at the time and realized that I had better get cracking if I was going to get the last NaPodPoMo show up on time today!

I don’t know whether I’ll keep this up throughout the year. I’ll try, but my past performances haven’t been so good. I’ll try though!

Thanks everyone for listening this month, leaving comments on the blog and on Facebook, calling me, or telling me in person that you listened. I feel so loved!

I am playing a really great Blues-Rock song by a Swedish/American singer who lives in Berlin, Germany. Her name is Anouschka, and the song is “Good Girl Gone Wild” from her album My Kind Of Heartbreak. Anouschka‘s song really makes me feel happy and I can relate to the title!

Thank you so much to Music Alley from Mevio for making Anouschka’s music available, as well as most of the other songs I’ve played this month. You are a great resource for podcasters and artists both.

I have a window of opportunity to record the show, now that my neighbors stopped with using leaf blowers right outside.

There may not be a show done tomorrow–I am having my routine colonoscopy and after the procedure, I may not feel up to doing it. I’ll try very hard though–it will be the first time in four years that I missed doing a NaPodPoMo show!

My husband, daughter and I went to the Atlanta Science Tavern lecture on birds, a Meetup lecture by Atlanta Audubon Society board member Dave Butler last night. It was great, thought they played music that made me feel sleepy. I am worried about the bird population due to pollution and pesticides. We also keep our cats indoors–cats are a tremendous killer of birds and other wildlife.

I am on a liquid diet today for my operation and feel very hungry, which is why I am playing a beautiful song called “Hungry” by the UK folk artist Lizzie Nunnery, from her 2008 EP Hungry. Lizzie Nunnery has just come out with a new album called Company of Ghosts, which you can find at Amazon and other places–see her website for more information. I found her music on Music Alley from Mevio.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans listening to this, as well as those who are not Americans, because we all have something to be thankful for, I hope!

On November 4 I was interviewed by Jennifer Navarrete of Morning BrewCast and Tech in Twenty. She was the one who came up with and started National Podcast Post Month (NaPodPoMo) back in November 2007, and this is the third year of it. She decided to interview people who are participating this year and she was very kind to consider me worthy of her focus. I decided that I would save reposting this until Thanksgiving this year and am very glad to share it with those who maybe didn’t hear it.

I play “Perfect Day” by Atomic Brother from their EP Silence Collide. I found them on MusicAlley by Mevio.

Another year, another month of NaPodPoMo!

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.
