Podcast 137: The Dark Nights Risa

Sorry everyone who emails in, but we did a sort of impromptu recording without sending out the notice email. Hopefully you don't mind too much if you're still listening.

This is our first Enterprise season wrap-up and it's full of the mildest surprises ever. For instance, one episode made one of our top five and the same episode made the other one's bottom five. Enterprise is pretty good, but it does have the problem of a forgettable consistency. Also, please try to live in the 22nd century instead of the 24th, Enterprise! Don't worry, the same complaints are in the podcast. J.R.'s having way more fun with it, so that's really what matters.

Full disclosure. At one point I (Jon) uttered a major grammatical error while discussing "Word Crimes." I was going to own it and call it out, but I chickened out and just edited it out of the recording entirely (because I can and because I'm ashamed). No doubt there are several other errors though. See how many you can find.

Stay tuned to the end because we have a major discussion about the weird format of our next episode. IT AFFECTS YOU!

Hey, btw we tried out a new microphone arrangement and it seems to have really fixed the disparity between our volumes. Plus, it only takes an extra 20 minutes to set up every time, so yay!

Podcast 136: Blunderwear

This took a weekend longer to get live than I thought. Lots to speak of this week. What, with World Cup action, continued planning for Austin City Limits, chats with listeners and non-White Stripe music to go through it's amazing we got through it in under three hours. Most people would swim through this stuff like Michael Phelps, but we tend to wade through it like that chubby guy at the beach who goes into the water with his shirt on. BONUS: we also talked a little bit of Star Trek: Enterprise!

Could it be that Enterprise has jumped the shark already? I mean, we start things right off with the 22nd century crew meeting 24th century Ferengi. Deplorable, right? Apparently, not for both of us. Also, new ground for both Reed and Mayweather! All this and one, count 'em, ONE girl! It is very cold in space.
