PodCulture has been lucky enough to be nominated for a Parsec Award! So as a part of that we needed to submit some clips from the show. We also thought that you guys might be interested in hearing that, so here ya go! Wish us luck gang!

Peace,
Brad, Glenn, Christina, and Adam

Beware The Ides of Geek!

Adam opens this week’s episode with discussion of Syfy’s series, Caprica. Whether or not you were a fan of its predecessor, Battlestar Galactica, Adam promises a show well worth your time. It mixes Americana, for better and worse, and future technology. Christina and Brad are caught up with Survivors, Being Human, and are enjoying Law and Order: UK. Glenn has welcomed another lady of the feline persuasion into his house, and the tale of which has Christina squeeing like a girlie. Carly has named her Nim!

Chevron six engaged! The wonderful crew at www.QuantumMechanix.com have given us a Goa’uld Death Glider Replica to give away to one madly fortunate listener! This gorgeous, wickedly detailed piece of SG:1 history could be yours. If you love the gang at Cheyenne Mountain, or ever wanted to be a Jaffa pilot, send us an e-mail and enter! We’re going to announce the lucky winner during our 200th episode, so hurry before the iris closes!

These ain’t your mamma’s Saturday morning cartoons. We review the animated movie Planet Hulk. Don’t worry, giveaway contestants, we won’t spoil it for you! Brad makes a Conan The Barbarian parallel, taking a moment to give a nod to Jason Momoa, and Glenn points out some of the cooler comic surprises. Back in the DC Universe, Brad and Christina have watched Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Glenn and Adam have seen Halo Legends, and discuss the linear timeline of these characters.

The Easter season bringeth chocolate, but the bunny has a lot to answer for after this Geek Cuisine. After finding these confusing confectioneries at the liquor store, they ponder the oddity of the drive through liquor stores. They bravely make their way through Heilman’s sea salt, hot pepper and ginger flavored chocolate. Find out which one Brad likes and which one makes the cocoaphile Christina say “speeew”. If you have something weird for us to try, or if you’re a unique candymaker who would like to sponsor us, drop us a line!

In closing, Glenn has picked up Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Adam reminds everyone to enter our contests, and Christina entreats the boys at Quantum Mechanix to create a Little Damn Asgard. Listeners, let us know what you’re addicted to. What tv shows should have us planted on our couches? What movies warrant extra buttered popcorn? What games should we stay charged for? Call our new voicemail line!

Promos come courtesy of The Signal and The Seekercast!

And then there were three. Brad, Glenn and Christina are Adamless for this week’s episode.

Christina gets home just in time to join the boys, and despite the craptastic work week, she has made time for new tv shows. Glenn is keeping up with Fringe, Heroes, Vampire Diaries and playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2. He is looking forward to the Aliens vs Predator demo to play, and enjoying the cornucopia of stuff to watch and game. Derby season is approaching, so he’s getting as much in as he can. Brad has been incommunicado since the first of the month, playing the hell out of Star Trek Online. He tells the tales of the the unique little unlockables from Del Taco and the Next Generation dvd set.

Brad unveils a new contest! Thanks to the fine folks at Farpoint Media, PodCulture gives away a copy of the Marvel Animated dvd, Planet Hulk! To win, e-mail us at Contest@PodCulture.net with your name and address by March 12, 2010. The winner will be announced on PodCulture’s 200th Episode!

Adam is back for Geek Cuisine! We’ve got Chocolate Smarties! No, no, not the UK “M&M” kind of Smarties. The American tart treat gone chocolate!

BONG! Brad, Glenn and Christina talk about the two hour tour, the season premiere of Lost! SPOILER ALERT! We leave no stones unturned and no subs unexploded, so if you’ve missed your flight on Oceanic 815 (and you wish to remain unspoiled) skip from the 21 minute mark to the 48 minute point. They unravel theories, discuss hypotheses, and get their brains scrambled a la Daniel Faraday. Brad puts his Trekkie hat on to discuss timelines, Glenn brings up gaping plot holes, and Christina is happy simply to see Desmond. You all everybody! Tell us what you think! What do you want to happen? What are your theories?

Guilt’s keen eye is turned to the gang, as Glenn brings us Hawk the Slayer! He describes the “low budget Lord of the Rings”, including Jack Palance as the evil brother, and the young and disturbingly handsome John Terry (better known to Lost fans as Christian Shephard) as the good guy. It’s available on Netflix, and oh, yes, they’re making a sequel!

In closing, they wish Adam a fantastic trip full of great stories! Christina asks everyone….yes, you…and tell your friends! PodCulture is turning 200! Call our voicemail (or send us an MP3 or e-mail) and wish us a happy birthday. We’ll play it on the show and share your favorite moments from the past four years. Tell us about your favorite (or grossest) Geek Guisine, worst Guilty Pleasure, or coolest toys!

Promos come from The Dollhouse Podcast and Babylon 5 Podcast.

We just wanted to let you guys know that due to a family emergency this week’s episode of PodCulture will be delayed until next week.  Thank you for being so understanding, and we look forward to getting back into the geeking next week!

Peace,

Brad, Glenn, Christina, and Adam

I just went to edit the next couple of PodCulture eps……only to discover that the audio is total CRAP! Something must have gotten bumped setting-wise and I didn’t notice during recording. I’m gonna do my best to salvage, but fair warning dear listeners…..….eps 102 and 103 are NOT going to sound near as nice as our normal episodes.

I know that everyone is their own worst critic, and maybe it really isn’t as bad as I make it out to me. However I do know that the next two episodes are not up to the standards I normally strive for, and because of that I am really sorry.

We live and learn, and I guess this is one of those times we learn the lesson the hard way.

Peace,

Brad

Hey gang,

As some of you guys may nave noticed the past couple of days there have been problems with downloading episodes of the show. (and the slow loading of the sites) The place that hosts PodCulture, The GeekSpin and a LOT of the other Farpoint Media shows had a switch quit working. New hardware is on order and should be installed by the end of this weekend.

In the meantime the number of connections that can be made to the server is limited, so please keep checking back as you WILL be able to download episodes, however it may take several tries. There are a couple of options if anyone should want to try them:

A. Try downloading again later…system may work then.

B. Try downloading via iTunes, (or another podcatcher) sometimes they cache the files and you may be able to get a copy thru them, or

C. ping me on Skype (username: PodCulture) and I can manually send you the file.

I apologize for any problems you are having, and thank you for sticking with us thru these pesky issues that pop up now and again.

Peace,

Brad

Just wanted to make a quick post that there will be a slight delay on episode 82. (it should only be a day or so maybe) I’ve been crazy busy with stuff for the “real job” and a few other things as well. Toss a sore throat and cold on top of that, and you’ve got one tired podcast editor! So if you guys don’t mind I’m going to take it easy tonight, and (hopefully) get some extra rest. I plan on having the show ready to go tomorrow evening….so get ready to get your geek on then!

Peace,

Brad

On a brighter note….she got a package via FedEx yesterday from her dad.  He had apparently gone thru some of the things she had left up at her parents’ house and he found her bunny. Now this isn’t just ANY bunny … this bunny is extra special!  She has had this thing since she was six years old, and he’s taken care of her thru all of the other surgeries she’s had.

**UPDATE**  Christina is now in her room and is resting somewhat comfortably, and says thank you to everyone for sending her the continued good vibes.

The geeks here at PodCulture have another cool contest for you! This time around we have copies of KARAS – The Revelation to give away!

Picking up right where the Prophecy ends, the new Karas, Otaha, seeks vengeance against the yakuza that murdered his brother and almost killed him. Meanwhile the old Karas, Eko, unleashes his wrath and contempt for the pitiful humans infesting the city. Yurine, Nue, and Otahajoin forces for the final epic battle to save the city and protect the will of the people…as Prophecy becomes Revelation!

All you have to do to enter this contest is drop us an email.  Send your contest entries to: CONTEST (at) PodCulture.net

Sorry to tell y’all this, but due some circumstances beyond my control episode 67  of PodCulture will be delayed a bit.  It seems that the new system we are using to publish and host the files is having some minor glitches.  Hopefully this will be at most a single day delay, and you’ll have another dose of geeky goodness ASAP.

Peace,

Brad

Bring Back “The Dresden Files” Drum Stick Campaign

Posted by Sam on Tuesday, 11 Sep 2007

If all fans of “The Dresden Files,” which was cancelled by The SCI FI Channel are serious about wanting to get their show back with all new episodes, there might be something you can do.

Taking a page from the “Save Jericho” script, one of our Slice of SciFi fans by the name of John VanSeters took our cue about Mike’s suggestion of sending drum sticks to the network to the next level and got SCI FI President Bonnie Hammer’s snail-mail address. The drum stick is an appropriate message to send to Hammer since Harry Dresden uses one for his magician’s wand.

You can mail those drum sticks to:

The Sci-Fi Channel
Attn: Bonnie Hammer, President
1230 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10020-1513

Now get those drum sticks going and don’t forget to print “SAVE DRESDEN” on each stick you sent to Ms. Hammer.

Thanks guys!

The PodCulture forums will be spinning off into their own little corner of the cyber-verse over at http://forums.podculture.net We will be cross-posting at the original forums over at www.Bluegrassbrowncoats.net for awhile as a transition period. We really want to thank Adam (aka Casivona) for all the work he’s done in setting up the original forums for us and allowing PodCulture to hang out here while we were first getting started in the podcasting world.

The changes will really be effective when Episode 50 is put out, however if you want to get an early start in the new forums, head over to http://forums.podculture.net and check them out! There is also a link for the NEW forums here on the main PodCulture page. (left hand column about half-way down the page)

Again thanks to everyone who has posted here, and who has supported us while we have been a part of the BGBC site. The original PodCulture forums will always be very special to us. We hope to see you on the new forums soon!

Peace,

Brad

Very special thanks to Cheyenne Wright from www.arcanetimes.com for the fantastic artwork of two fallen heroes!

Michael R. Mennenga (Wingin It, Slice of SciFi) and Steve Eley (Escape Pod) are the hosts of the show. Give the show and see if you agree with what they have to say about the show. (both good and bad)

Sorry you guys had to wait, but hopefully y’all understand. Catch ya ’round the podcast ‘verse!

Peace,
Brad

So watch something weird, play something addictive, read something cool, and be prepared to share with the class next time. Until then, send him good thoughts and wishes that whatever evil bug he’s got goes as quickly as it came.

Cheers,
Christina

The next show will be delayed a day or two while I catch up on some sleep. I hope to have it out TUESDAY night.

Sorry y’all but I’m just too wiped out to edit the show right now.

Peace,
Brad

PS: I’m also starting to feel a bit under the weather as well.

Just a quick FYI. There will be a day or two extra delay on getting Episode 22 out for you guys. We have it recorded, but I’ve been hit with a very wicked migraine today, and I won’t be able to put the show together for you guys until it dies down a little more. Hopefully I’ll have the sucker licked and I’ll be able to get the show out for you all tomorrow evening. I’m sorry for any inconvienience this causes anyone.

Peace,
Brad

Starting with Episode 15 we will shoot for releasing the new episodes on a Monday or Tuesday night rather than the Saturday or Sunday nights we have done in the past. Since we record the show every other week, this move will effectively give me an extra weekend to edit and “tweak” the show a bit more.

And on that note……

The audio quality for Episode 15 will be a bit rough in some places. We recorded the show in a slightly different location that our other shows, and we tried a few experiments during the recording process as well. Some things turned out OK, some other things…….well not so much. Please bear with us, even with the rough patches, we think you’ll really like what we have on tap for you!

Also one last thing before I’m a total jerk and forget to say something: a THANK YOU. Goes out to the folk who sent us in audio comments, and recordings for the show….it’s folk like you who keep us doing what we do.

Finally MASSIVE, SPECIAL thanks to Stuart Duncan (the guy that does our fantaboulous iTunes artwork) He was awsome, and mailed us several very cool posters will all kinds of geek stuff on them. Thanks Stuart….they will look quite shiny haning on the studio walls!

Well, that’s all for now…..I’m off to go toil over an audio mixer!

I just got the following letter from Adam over at bluegrassbrowncoats.net. It looks like the BGBC are going to try and get a screening of SERENITY in Louisville, and we could really use your help. If you would like to come down for it (or can make some sort of donation) PLEASE head over to the forums at www.bluegrassbrowncoats.net and post and let us know! It would be really great to have some of y’all down for the show!

Peace,
Brad

Brad,
We need your help!! Troy (Visionary) has contacted the Showcase Delux here in town to get us the rights to show Serenity on the bigscreen. They just heard back from Universal and we are a go for a June 22nd 7pm showing! Kicker is: it’s $1400 we need to raise for this. We’re still working out the details on the money collection, but we figure at 7 bucks a pop, we’d need 200-ish people. I know you have good connections with the SOBs, do you know if they are doing anything of the sort for Serenity day (June 23rd)? If not, I wanted to extend an invitation to them for this. We need to get the word out about this! I’m telling everyone I know

Brad, Glenn, and Christina
