vacation!

Any of you who follow J.R. on Twitter know that he's moving from a third world country back to the Unites States. As a result, all his possessions will be on a slow boat toward America for the next six weeks or so. That means it will be impossible to record again until March-ish. In the meantime, and with your help, the podcast has three options:

1) Do nothing until then. This is default.

2) Record a Jon-only episode with a full chat room. It would be sort of a Q and A. J.R. won't be around to deny anything, so if anybody has any questions or just wants to talk about whatever, we could do that. No doubt I have information on the guy that would make for exciting listening. If it's not exciting, I could just lie. If you'd like to do this, we'd need to have a pretty full chatroom in order to get some semblance of a conversation. Please email what times would be best and if it happens we can try to make a time that would yield the best crowd.

3) Upload an awesome clip show. If we do this, we'll need some volunteers to sort through some old podcasts. The more the better and the easier.

It also wouldn't be unheard of to do some combination of all three options. Please volunteer! Best volunteer may get a mug -- or something else maybe. If you'd like to do the chat show, send in your time preferences. If you'd like to hear a clip show just say you do and I'll give you a small assignment.

Btw, it's awesome seeing everyone on Facebook. Join up if you haven't.

Podcast 73: Easy Daxess

We broadcasted in a digital snowstorm this time. It was caused by an ill-advised attempt at computer progress (buying the next OS X and then having Soundtrack to decide to not work with something so "advanced"). Anyway, on the brightside, are now in possession of a Star Trek PADD (or as they call it in this century and universe: the iPad). Hopefully Soundtrack and Photoshop and Cyberduck will be fixed by the next recording. We should just broadcast from our adobe kiln on Bajor's moon.

Podcast 72: Allamaraine, Freddy's Comin' For You

Okay, less talking this time, but more side phone conversations. Sorry. On the plus, we hammered through five DS9 episodes covering a wide range of DS9 heavy hitters including The Nagus, Primmin, Trill biology, Morgan Freeman not dying, Ferengi literacy and slow-talking bodily possessions.

Here is the link to Kevin Spacey doing a Morgan Freeman impression.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to John David Duty (1952-2010), but not super loving. He sounds like a pretty bad guy actually, but it turns out Morgan Freeman is still alive.

Podcast 70: We Exist Here

Enter Deep Space 9! This podcast belongs to you! We say that not only because we decided to continue this weird experiment because of popular demand, but because the majority of this podcast is listener feedback about the the entire concept of DS9. Pretty much the listeners made all our commentary for us (there was a ton, I'm telling you). Also making a lot of comments: all the kids hanging out at J.R.'s house. You'll hear them, don't worry. Hopefully we'll be able to keep up with all the listeners in the DS9 coverage from now on.

Podcast 68: Everybody Happy As the Dead Come Home

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals and the most compelling piece of technology seen by the Romulans in some time -- a clone that doesn't look anything like what it's cloned from!

We tackle Nemesis so you don't have to. Apparently many people haven't seen this one. It's the least popular movie. Lots of green in it. Notice?
