Item 59 – Slaying the dragon

Monday, October 1st, 2012

It’s been a few weeks since our last show. OK, more than a few weeks. Since our last show, we went to the wiener dog races. And other things have happened, too.

And oh yeah. This is the last GeminiDragon episode. Be sure and subscribe to our new podcast, No Market Radio. We’ll be launching in conjunction with the beginning of NaPodPoMo, which starts November 1st.

Item 54 – 8,000 pounds of Spam

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

Jen’s back! And she’s got her own theory on this whole DiC thing.

We played a voice mail from Les.

Then, we played a sound clip of Jen comparing her new headset to her old one. (Hear the new set on the latest episode of Inside My Head.)

We covered a story about an expensive Canadian pizza.

More complaints about the neighbors.

Jen read comments from David and Colin, which lead to a discussion about Diablo III, piracy and paying for podcasts.

Our Internet connection is still slow but we’re not switching to another provider. Yet.

We read a story (and played some audio) about how Metallica is trying to help catch a murderer.

That was followed by a story about how a hitchhiking writer was shot in Montana. (He’s writing a book about “kindness in America.”)

Jen read some e-mails of questionable origin. (Hear Jen utter the phrase, “I’m always wanna have sex!”)

Then, we closed out the show with some audio of a Korean teacher who can’t quite pronounce the word “Coke.”

As promised, here’s the recap of our recent trip to Chicago.

Item 29 – Under the wire

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

GeminiDragon29We made this month’s podcast just under the wire. TV! Allergies! Music/podcasting projects! These are some of the fun things we discussed while recording this. Also, thanks to Nathan for making a donation last month.

Sites we mentioned towards the end:
Inside My Head
Halfway Around The World
Shawn’s blog

Item 28 – Super fly ho

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

GeminiDragon28We promised you one podcast per month. Here it is for June. Consider your ears blessed. I don’t really wanna put together show notes right now. Which, if you think about it really, who cares anyway? Most people just download the episodes, listen once and then delete ‘em. And honestly if they can’t take the time to appreciate the effort that goes into writing a quality show summary then why should I even bother? Podcast listeners. What a bunch of no-respect having freeloaders. By the way, don’t forget to visit our tip jar. I mean, I know you won’t. Freeloader.

Item eleventeen – Retromantic

Friday, October 1st, 2010

GeminiDragon11We were once again live for GeminiDragon eleventeen. We started things off by congratulating ourselves for continuing to stick to our production schedule. I talked about how I had discovered that former MTV headbanger Riki Rachtman is on Twitter. Apparently, he’s lost a parrot, which sparked a discussion about lost pets. Specifically, lost-pet fliers. I shared an idea for a new business venture that would probably be the most successful thing ever. Then, we examined a story about a heroic dog who saved its owner by eating the owner’s toe. We wondered if the Beach Boys may indeed take Katy Perry to court. The people at your local porn studio would like you to stop illegally downloading their product:

In what might be history’s greatest segue, we talked about how romantic music might help you to get more dates. I compared Debbie Does Dallas to Citizen Kane in terms of historical importance. Apparently, Kim Kardashian doesn’t want her fans to look like her. Then we played a song by Nuel, which Jen back sold by going into Inside My Head mode. We finally had our first listener to the live presentation in the form of Lou (thanks, Lou!). We finished things out with a list of albums that turn 20 years old in 2010.

Item 5 – Triple meat bonus!

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

GeminiDragon5It’s a bonus audio presentation! This item is a continuation of GeminiDragon item 4. Further confirming that we’re still figuring out the new studio configuration, I taught myself how to use Skype while my chair creaked a lot. We got our first Skype call from our pal Medros. Buy World of Warcraft from AmazonWe also got a conversation request from what was likely a spambot. We talked about how I edit a World of Warcraft-related podcast even though I don’t actually play the game. Massive geekyness (is that a word?) ensued from there. (Also: lowbrow jokes about Subway footlong sandwiches.)

Item 4 – PPM BS is on the air

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

GeminiDragon4We’re live! Well, we were when we recorded this GeminiDragon item. It was a bit of an impromptu affair. But our friends Medros, Lou, Nathan, Druey and Ben all showed up to join us. As I mentioned during the recording, we’re still soft launching this new project, and this is more of a test recording than anything else. Still, we managed to have another conversation about Subway. We also talked about my new guitar amp, its problems and my experience so far in dealing with the company that sold it to me. We also covered the TV show “Deadliest Catch” and wondered why it is that these guys continue to risk their lives fishing when they could just take their money and go to college, already. We heard a nice voice mail from Robert. Then there’s a cool song by Lizards From Afar that I heard earlier in the day on DarkCompass. We will be releasing some more audio from this session later in the week.

So, what’s your favorite Subway sandwich? Also, see the photos we took during this recording here.
