It’s amazing how just when you’re trying to get things going, real life butts in to throw you off the track. Not that I’m complainin’ mind you, just explainin’.

Today we’ve got Part 1 of the Robin Stine interview I’ve been talking about bringing you since, oh, forever. But it’s finally here, and I hope you enjoy it. Add music from the Podsafe Music Network, through in a dash of Spoken Word from the Ice Cream Man, add some Peeper Radio Theatre, Crazy podcasting News plus me jawbonin’ a bit, and you’ve got today’s show! We hit the one hour mark on the dot, give or take a few milliseconds, so it should be good for somebody’s commute. Yours maybe? Your favorite Aunt perhaps? Maybe you could download it for her to listen to on her one hour commute to the McDonald’s she works at.

So. After the last two weeks of being in computer hell, with failing hard drives, and all, my Powerbook is now completely hosed. It started with a failing hard drive, then escalated to being in pieces as my Apple savvy IT friend went at it to replace the screwed up hard drive with a new one. Unfortunately, time, exhaustion, and losing track of what screw went where (there’s a million of ‘em!) left my poor laptop pretty much toast. He got it back together but then the screen wouldn’t work! Crap! Tomorrow it goes to my local service center, along with it’s various pieces to be put back together. All this means that I have been holding up production of a new show since I’m not sure I can give you the same quality you’re used to with the equipment I have that is working. There’s still a chance I can get one out that sounds ok. If so, I will! I miss you guys! I want to rap with you, and play you some great podsafe music! I even have a new source for podsafe music, and an interview with Robin Stine , plus poetry, and more!

So don’t think I’ve pod-faded! I’m not out, just a little down. I’ve got some great ideas for 2006 that I aim to try out so I’m not going anywhere. Powerbook or no Powerbook!

Wish me luck!

Happy Fathers Day! To fathers everywhere!

Hope you enjoyed it Dad! We’re back for another show (we missed you all!), and I’ve got a rundown for you. So, here goes -

We’ve got Father’s Day greetings, silly stuff going on in the news, lurker listeners, and podcast stuff. c7 wants to know about the Dawn & Drew Show, and all life halts for cell phones. The $18,000 bar of soap and other expensive “art”.

We speak about Child Labor in the modern world, and what can be done. Here’s a film everyone should see called “Stolen Childhoods”. Please click this link http://www.stolenchildhoods.org/

We get on with the business of raggin’ on GM, and the Hummer H3. Then it’s adult spelling bee envy, as c7 does Mike Tyson, and Garland T. does Michael Jackson. We talk Iranian election strategies, upcoming poetry shows, blind skiers and cow racing. Then it’s our end of show wrap up.

Music featured this week by our very own DJ Dice with a mix he calls ‘Full Circle”. Check out his other mixes at http://www.straylightproductions.com

Catch him live on wednesdays at Morgans Coffee & Teas in Monterey, 498 Washington St.

Til next week everybody, be good to yourselves. And check out the links below.
