You have a few more hours to join the JRWSTFTFT March Madness bracket challenge! To do so, send an email to jrwatchesstartrek(at)gmail(dot)com and say you'd like to join. Winner gets JRWSTFTFT something (maybe a mug, maybe something else).

Hey, in the meantime, we're gearing up to record soon. We were in the dark ages for a while (i.e. not even able to view the episodes), but we will be back to finish up season one of DS9 soon.

Podcast 75: J.D. Hosts Podcast For the First Time



This one is just like last week's but we didn't talk about episodes and we had actual audio chatter with the listeners. Thanks to all who joined in. This was less of a show and more of a lunch party. Be sure to read your issues of Alpha Flight before you begin listening.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- Beginning of nonsense
59:08 -- End of nonsense

Podcast 74: Lwaxana, Lwaxoffa


Alright, this was the planned listener chat room fun festival, BUT due to circumstances beyond our control we did a mini-podcast consisting of one episode. And we just happened to pick the episode that Lwaxana is in. Weird.

Very sizable amount of outtakes, FYI. Just so you know, half the length of the podcast is chatroom conversation between Jon and a couple of listeners. That appears after the music (and still another extended outtake with J.R. occurs after that). That means LOTS of extra-curricular JRWSTFTFT if you want it (but if you wanna just stick to the usual, it's VERY short and sweet this week).

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH, secret guest
6:02 -- "The Forsaken"
16:02 -- Viewer mail
24:05 -- Awards and rankings
30:54 -- Qapla'
35:25 -- The maddest Jon has been at J.R.
41:36 -- When Jon turned to Trek
44:34 -- Knowing nothing about Doctor Who
46:39 -- Announcement: M*A*S*H Podcast and Voyager vitriol
48:30 -- Complete summation of Enterprise
48:48 -- IT Crowd vs. Big Bang Theory
50:16 -- Future J.R. geek hurdles
54:39 -- Jimmer outtake

Vacation Live Chat Vol. 1!

Alright folks, let's try this thing out. We've had a couple of requests to try the live chat thing on a weekend, so here goes.

Saturday, February 12th at 11am MST (that's 10 in Cali, 1 on the east coast, I'm guessing about 6pm in England, about 8pm in Germany and (roughly) 2am the next day in Australia) let's do the listener live chat. Hopefully we can get enough people together that we can record something. I admit, however, that my primary reason for doing this is selfish. If we just spend a couple of hours chatting it up, rather than actually recording a podcast, so be it. The chatting up is funner and more important.

All the deets you need to know are to go to my (Jon's) Ustream page at
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thejonblogcam
on that day at the appropriate time.

Perhaps J.R. can get into the chatroom, but he won't be able to voice anything.

Also, we might do it the following Saturday as well... maybe... we'll see how this first one goes.

In the meantime, if you can make it, awesome. If not, it wouldn't hurt to send in what you'd like the chatroom and me to discuss. You know the drill. jrwatchesstartrek@gmail.com.

In the meantime, join the Facebook group. We'll discuss this more then. Watch this blog. We'll put an embed of the chat here.

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 breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH, Christmas
15:25 -- "Vortex"
32:14 -- "Battle Lines"
46:36 -- "The Storyteller"
57:57 -- "Progress"
1.12:25 -- "If Wishes Were Horses"
1.29:30 -- Awards and rankings
1.36:50 -- Qapla' and outtakes
