Really?  You're debating Eisner?  Really?

Yeah, kind of.

I KNOW! It sounds crazy. I know the guys historical significance. There's just something in the back of my head that doesn't want to put him there. It might be because I'm not a huge fan of The Spirit.

I'm probably dead wrong.

Swordfish Steaks.



Friend of mine doing some blurry grill duties.

Worth reading.

Pretty much what Bob said.

All set.

I got a sneak peek at the program.

This show will be epicness.

So I guess I can't talk about Godzilla...

I just booked my flight.

Yay me.

$50 for signed book and original art.

Done.

Sorry about your cats.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

sorry i think i fell out of my chair laughing on that one.

Have some karma sir.

[What level of interaction do you want your podcasters to have with the subjects they cover and review?]

What level of interaction do you want your podcasters to have with the subjects they cover and review?

The same level of interaction they have with listeners of the show.

Does knowledge of a strong relationship between podcasters and subject effect the way that you take
in that podcasters review of subjects work?


It can. If you know a podcaster has a friendly relationship with a creator, you should discount the hype a tad.
It's different in every case though. The best thing is to find the opinions you trust, and then go try the material.

Do you believe that podcasters ar journalists? If so do you believe they should try to live up to the standards
of Journalism ethics?


Podcasters are not journalists. Until they are.

Some people consider themselves journalists and try to stay within a code of reporting. Some people consider themselves the guardians of that code and try to force it on, or shame other shows into it. I'm of the opinion that you are journalist when you start paying a mortgage with the money you make as a reporter.

Our show is a review show I guess. I don't consider us as covering any news that isn't already out there.

Have you ever stopped or considered stopping listening to a podcast because of the relationship that podcast had
with subject(s) of their review?

Yes. But I also overloaded on shows, and now hardly listen to any podcasts. But I'll get them back in the rotation at some point.

It's cool that you may like Yuengling batter than Sam Adams, but it is a falsehood to say that Yuengling is a superior product.   The craftsmanship between the two products is not equal.

This beer talk...

You folks amuse me.

More from the Katie Todd show last weekend.

This is the sculpture on the campus of the University of Chicago that marks the anniversary of the world's first nuclear reaction there.

The CBG review lost any credibility when they put art in quotes.

The show Chris was talking about at the start is The Shadow Line cracking cast, highly recommended, also Line Of Duty with Lennie James is worth watching if it makes it to the U.S.

Thanks! I drew a total blank on it.

Just to settle this non debate debate, Vince is not drinking banquet beer. 

He is drinking:

The banquet is this:

Like that shit doesn't all come out of the same vat...

Went to the zoo yesterday.

Maybe the best picture that's ever been taken of me.

The mysterious man we know only as Ande Parks.
