Episode Eleven: We are Tardy

2010-07-03T21:33:00.000-06:00

Hey, folks.

Podcast!

More later.

Part Two of the Road Trip Experience

2010-06-03T23:39:00.000-06:00

And here we have (only a week later) the second minisode recorded on the road between cities in British Columbia.

Aaaaand: PODCAST!

Road Trip Minicast One

2010-05-25T23:34:00.000-06:00

Love it or don't, but leave us a comment.

Episode Ten and Again and Again

2010-05-21T18:03:00.000-06:00

Has it really been nearly a month? Geez. So sorry. Thomas has been in rehearsal and shows, and I've been lollygagging rather than editing. Oh, and running trials and prepping for a job interview.

You know, life!

Without further ado, here is episode ten!

Leave us a comment or send us an email.

Keep on kickin' it!

-Adam

Madness? THIS IS SHAKESPEARE!!!

2010-05-12T08:33:00.003-06:00

We mention this in the next cast (10) but I thought I would post it here now so people could take a look. This is part of the reason my, and therefore our, schedule has been out of whack. Take a look.

Episode Nine: Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo Extravaganza!

2010-04-27T15:20:00.001-06:00

With all humility I present to you Episode Nine! of The Most Popular Podcast in the Known Universe!

This week: The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

There are some sound issues, due to the anti-acoustic properties of the environment in which most of the episode was recorded, but hopefully you can look beyond that to listen to the great interview with Rob Heinsoo (which is not pronounced like you think it is) and Robin D. Laws.

Their game credits include such things as, oh, I dunno, Dungeons and Dragons. Listen to the episode for more.

There's also a handful of great little floor chats with convention-goers, including Edmonton-based costumers Sew Long Ago.

This is perhaps not our funniest episode ever, but it's some damned fine content, and we'll be back to our usual format for the next ep. In fact, we'll probably do a lot of commentary on the Expo.

Best,

-Adam

Episode Eight: Takin' it to your meats.

2010-04-23T19:30:00.001-06:00

Hope you enjoy Episode Eight of the Most Popular Podcast in the Known Universe and Alberta's Best Nerd-culture Podcast.

Download, enjoy, back-feed!

-Adam

Episode Seven: Say "Texas Textbooks" five times fast

2010-04-08T23:51:00.000-06:00

FINALLY!

The long-anticipated episode 7 of Lazy Bastard Radio.

Please comment and email us at lazybastardradio AT gmail DOT com, and check out our Lazy Bastard Radio Facebook.

Best,

-Adam

Real Life Intervenes

2010-03-30T22:47:00.002-06:00

Seriously, seriously sorry for no updates lately.

I've been slammed at work, our interview with Riley Rossmo had some major technical issues, and now I have stomach flu.

Something new soon, I promise. Episode 7 is recorded, it just needs editing... and I hope to be healthy enough within the next day or so.

-Adam

Episode Six, ultra-fast edition

2010-03-16T15:26:00.000-06:00

So if you find two hours to be too much of an investment, here's the Slimline Edition of Episode Six.

Coming in at a tidy 57:22, it's lean, mean, and... well... slightly less funny, because apparently when one is cutting for time, one is more critical of which jokes to keep.

Anyway, I'll probably be doing Slimline Editions of any episode that goes over 60 minutes, or over 90 if there's an interview. Enjoy!

-Adam

Episode Six: Four Chickens and a Digital Tambourine

2010-03-14T23:35:00.002-06:00

Okras and Gentlebeans, we present to you: Episode Six of Lazy Bastard Radio, the Most Popular Podcast in the Known Universe!

This week we have another long episode -- almost exactly two hours -- but it's some of our finest yet. We had a whopping four hosts, with both LBR North and our Occasional Guest Host sitting in and bringing you the best in science, media, comic books, and all the other amusing things that tickle your nerdy little funnybones.

I had a spot of trouble with Mixcraft, which is why this is going up so late, but I muddled through it, and it turned out to be a much simpler fix than I had thought. Shouldn't happen again.

To our gentle listeners: As your homework assignment for this week, how about everybody telling us who they are and where they are listening from? An email (lazybastardradio AT gmail DOT com), a comment here, or something on our Facebook page, so we know you're out there. We love doing this, but we'd love it even more if we knew we weren't just staring into the Abyss... because you know what that causes... That's right: facehuggers. Also, we can give you a shout-out on next week's show (or not, if you prefer)!

Until next time, keep your moist bits moist and your stinky bits clean!

-Adam

PS: It's worth noting that we know that Corey was wrong about McLuhan's famous quote, although he did write a book with that title.

PPS: Firefighters, for those who were unaware.

And now, a bunch of links!

2010-03-07T22:45:00.004-07:00

Alright, so as promised here we have the show notes for episode 5. Now here are Links for all the stuff we talked about this episode, unfortunately they are not time stamped but hopefully I will get a chance to do that very soon, and to keep with the haiku motif we seem to have going on.

No episode 5 (yet)

2010-03-01T22:41:00.002-07:00

As you probably noticed, we didn't do an episode this week. That's becauase, as we mentioned in episode 4, we were moving. We did sit down to record, but my microphone was broken. So.

We are all settled in, and I got my headset exchanged, so we ought to be ready to rock this coming weekend. We may even do two episodes this week to try and get back on track, depending on scheduling.

Keep on listening and telling your friends!

Streaming...?

2010-02-21T23:16:00.001-07:00

You may have all noticed that we haven't had streams of the last few episodes. That's because it's tough to find places that will let us upload large files for free, so we can then stream them. We'll probably get around to doing streams once we have enough listeners to justify paying for hosting.

Any thoughts?

Episode Three Supplemental: Lazy Bastard Radio North

2010-02-13T23:26:00.000-07:00

So, originally, we'd planned on having Lazy Bastard Radio North on as a co-host, but due to scheduling issues, it just didn't happen that way. Instead, once Thomas had run off to do his actor thing, Corey and I sat down via the webs and did this supplement.

It's pretty heavy on gamer content, but don't let that make you nervous. Enjoy!

-Adam

Episode Three: Olympics, Box Wine, and Serial Killers

2010-02-13T22:39:00.000-07:00

Episode Three of The Most Popular Podcast in the Known Universe is here for your amusement.

We actually experimented with editing in this one, which led to a bit of a screw-up, and I somehow erased the last few minutes. I don't know if we lost anything important... but, as I keep saying, learn by doing.

Keep your eyes on this space for the supplement, wherein I interview Corey, from Lazy Bastard Radio North!

-Adam

Headset microphone upgrade!

2010-02-12T12:46:00.001-07:00

I know there have been some issues with sound quality in the previous episodes, but I have recently picked up a fancy new headset with microphone that ought to clear up the problem. Another advantage is that it will force us to record everyone's dialogue on separate tracks (unless we have multiple "remote" guests) which ought to make any needed editing much easier.

Best,

-Adam

Now, with Subscription!

2010-02-08T22:49:00.003-07:00

If you'll look over to the right, you'll see two shiny new orange buttons. Really only the top one is useful right now, but subscribe away to get all the juicy action, as soon as it happen!

Episode Two: New York schools suck, bison buying, rude nebulae

2010-02-07T00:38:00.005-07:00

Welcome back to the most popular podcast in the known universe!

Here's Episode Two to download.

We have no idea why the volume is as "off" as it is. We'll have to figure it out as we go.

Streaming up when we get it up, and shownotes probably tomorrow.

Enjoy!

-Adam

Slight problem with the hosting. All better now. Download away!

-Adam

Can't use the streaming player?

2010-02-06T10:22:00.001-07:00

We've had some reports of people not being able to use the streaming player to listen to the show. Serendipitously, that's because of something mentioned IN the show: Google is no longer supporting a lot of their applications in Internet Explorer. Apparently the Google streaming player is one of those applications.

Now, the all-inclusive thing to do would be to find a different streaming player that was IE-compatible, but seriously, why aren't you people using Firefox or Chrome yet?

Both are faster and more stable than IE, and less-prone to malicious attacks. Chrome is really stripped-down, so I'd totally recommend it for older computers or netbooks.

New podcast soon! We were going to do it last night but I got in later than planned. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

-Adam

Shownotes up for episode one

2010-02-02T22:26:00.001-07:00

It took me for bloody ever, but I finally got the timestamps and shownotes up for episode one. Also, I'm doing whatever I can to associate the words "the most popular podcast in the known universe" with our cast, so if you link to us and use those words, there's a prize in it for you! (note: there may not be a prize; prize may have no cash value)

Enjoy!

-Adam

Woo new recording software!

2010-02-02T19:08:00.001-07:00

I downloaded the trial version of Mixcraft today, and it looks like it will do what Audacity couldn't: cost me $70! I mean, uh, allow us to record both sides of a VoIP of web-chat conversation. Which means we can do remote interviews! And have guests! And all that other brilliant podcastery!

-Adam

First post!

2010-01-31T23:17:00.002-07:00

Alright, so, this is the first entry on the Lazy Bastard Radio official blog. I'm in the process of uploading episode one, so expect to see it soon!

-Adam

PS: I have no idea why this updated AFTER all that other stuff... learn by doing!

Embedded player For the Win!

2010-01-31T22:47:00.009-07:00

I can't figure out how to embed a player at this point. Work will continue...

-Adam

And there we go, thank god for free hosting sites. embedded for your entertainment.
