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 58 – Quake cast

Saturday, August 11th, 2012

It’s too warm in here to type up proper shownotes. The highlights:

  • Earthquake
  • Passports
  • Podcass these days

Don’t forget about our Facebook page or the Canadia trip.

Item 56 – Taxes, penalties and lawsuits

Sunday, July 8th, 2012


Jen’s fighting off a sinus infection. But she got to use her (fairly) new health insurance for the first time. That lead to a long discussion of the Affordable Care Act and the upcoming presidential election.

I went to an Independence Day barbecue. It was fun. Also, maybe I should start drinking more?

Make a pledge to our Trip to Canadia Fund and get a postcard from Canadia!

We finished out the show by interviewing Will Loomis of the band Loomis & The Lust. Will recently filed a lawsuit against British pop star Jessie J. Will believes Jessie’s hit song “Domino” is a ripoff of his song “Bright Red Chords.” We discussed the lawsuit as well as the band’s new album and its new lineup. Then we played the title track from that album, “Sports Suck:”

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.”

Item 53 – Sleepy boos land

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Jen’s asleep. So it’s a solo show.

More complaints about the neighbors.

Nathan got us a mention on The Morning Stream podcast!

I tried finding someone to join in via Skype. It didn’t work.

DiC(k)!

It’s been windy. And allergy-y.

I played a song by Tycho.

I put out a call on Twitter to see if anyone wanted to join the show via Skype. No one did. Then, I talked a little about guitar stuff.

Item 52 – Solvang sausagefest

Sunday, June 3rd, 2012

Last week was Jen’s birthday. We baked her a gluten-free birthday cake and went on a trip to Solvang. Listen now and hear all of the fun details!

item 50 – Remix!

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

I don’t know why, but I went into a whole thing about the broadcasting school I went to years ago, and how I eventually got a (short-lived) job at a radio station.

Jen recently guested on the Girls Gone WoW and Obscurecast podcasts where she talked about video games with a bunch of other nerds.

Jen’s birthday is coming up.

I’m a little obsessed with the Digitech iPB10 pedalboard. It integrates with iPad and is REALLY COOL.

We had an interesting time trying to play Diablo III on launch night.

Our Internet experience at home is super slow and kinda sucky and we want to know what to do to make it better.

And no announcements at the end of the show but this summer is gonna be the Summer of Truth for GeminiDragon. Will the podcast still be here in the fall?

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012
  • Weather and water damage

  • Jen has health insurance!
  • What’s GeminiDragon worth on Kickstarter?

Item 42 – Stalking or journalism?

Monday, February 13th, 2012

More audience failure regarding our Facebook page. Speaking of the Facesbook, we got a scoop on our page about the future (?) of the Intellectually Shallow show. We talked about a local production we saw of Avenue Q. I filed our taxes last week. In related news, here’s our tip jar. Jen read a story about a peanut-butter/chocolate covered burglar. I read an article about huge Chinese billboards that used images of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and President Obama. Jen went over a story about how meetings make you dumb. We played a cool alt-country flavored track by Genevieve Maynard and the Tallboys. Then, we finished up this episode with some listener feedback.
