KK 37 Update

I just got a sharp reminder of how very small the world is now with the internets and all. In our last episode, we mentioned Cordarounds, and I included a link to the company in the show notes. Imagine my surprise when I get email from Mr. Cordarounds himself, Chris Lindland, thanking me for mentioning the horizontal corduroys on the show! If you haven't checked out the site yet, please go read the blog and scientific research for yourself. Plus, hey, airships!

Kulture Kast 37 -- Strawberry Scented Elegance

We're talking about a random collection of stuff this time kids, so the the show notes are just gonna hit the highlights for linkage purposes. First, if you donated to Matt Wallace's emergency computer fund, THANK YOU! Some other things discussed are cordarounds, the latest developments in Biscuit slash, Kingdom of Loathing, zefrank (the show and his current blogging), and the surprising upswing in quality in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Somewhere in the middle of all that, we talk about the sheer genius that is crevette's deconstruction of Night Travels Of The Elven Vampire -- good news! The author has self-published a new, pornier rewrite called Eternity of Blood and crevette is doing a chapter by chapter review.

Kulture Kast 36 -- The Cursed Episode

Give me the podcast. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Garageband City to take back the podcast that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great... You have no power over me.

You wouldn't believe the trials we endured to bring you the podcast this time, kids. It all started with a simple little Mac OS X update. It eventually involved two separate recording sessions, a clone/clean install of Angus MacBook, recording in ten-minute sprints in order to use a trial version of Audio Hijack Pro, and an upgrade to Garageband '08. Well.

So, it's a little late, and it's a little rough, but you'll understand why we persevered when you hear the awesome content provided by Brian (aka Listener #11) and Nobilis. Enjoy!

Kulture Kast 35 -- Biscuit As A Boy Band

Thanks again to Matt Wallace, who made last week's show the best damn show so far. This one's going to be considerably more low-key. Susan Z has some shopping etiquette tips, we both coin new words ("surpristicism" and "hubric"), the phrase "Boo-Yaa" is uttered, 20 pop-cultural obsessions even geekier than Monty Python, our responses to listener email (a bit of clarification on listener numbers -- do you have yours yet?) and a couple of voicemails. We love love love feedback, kids. Thanks bunches! Don't forget to submit your Matt Wallace/Biscuit slash, and we will archive it on Biscuitonia!

Breaking news: Matt Wallace's iBook has died on him, and he is in desperate need of some funds to get a new computer so that he can keep turning out the awesome work. If you have a few bucks that you can spare, please go here and donate to the cause, as a favor to both of us here at the Kulture Kast.
