ep. 19 - john_boyer

- OR - Screaming Numbers: The Podcast

This podcast isn’t ONLY for gamers…but, if you are a gamer, you will derive more pleasure and understanding from it. Just a heads up.

This time around I’ve got John. Robert. Patrick. Boyer, graphics programmer at Rockstar Games. Among a few non-video gamey things (including a new definition of what a “geek” is), we discuss his work on GTA V (both current and next gen versions), a valid reason why PC ports take longer, and his work on the upcoming Rockstar game, codenamed…well, you’ll have to listen to find out. BOOM! BURYING THE LEAD LIKE A MOFUGGER!!

Also, we confirm Half Life 3.

ep.18 - the_dreamstalks

-OR- Boogiefoot, The Saddest Little Indian

"We’re a comedic bend and we sing funny songs.”  I could have stopped us right there, but I didn’t, because you need to know more about Karen Bray and Zack Miko a.k.a. the Dreamstalks. 

I also needed to worm my way into their television show.

Spoilers for Billy Zane’s The Phantom and Bill Cosby’s Ghost Dad.

Note: At 6:47, you’ll get to hear the best laugh ever.

ep.15 - graham_skipper

- OR - I Stepped In Something…Then Something Stepped In Me

RECORDED LIVE IN L.A.!!!!

Friend, actor, horror aficionado and, based on some details from our conversation, potential serial killer, Graham Skipper and I discuss the nature of horror: what scares us, what tries to scare us and fails and what is so weird you’re not sure whether to be scared or not.

Also, the co-eds in his basement.

ep.14 - danny_hyde

- OR - Diagrams Of The Hidden Masters: The Podcast

One of the men responsible for some of the strangest and most disturbing music i've ever heard; I present to you...Danny Hyde, creator of demented sounds, honorary member of Coil and current winner of the best broken bone story. 

Danny and I discuss how he and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson birthed the unforgettable version of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" which introduced a generation to Se7en, his favorite moments creating madness with Coil and much more.

Special thanks to Leviathant and the Echoing The Sound community for sparking this.

Also, "Pod" = "Chris Vrenna"

ep.13 - jim_potenza

-OR- Tabouli Rasa, The Tap-Assassin: The Podcast

What do space docking, Brazilian jujitsu and the longest and, perhaps, most badly-suited-to-a-medium-with-no-visual-component joke ever told have in common?

Jim Potenza.

JIM POTENZAAAAAAAA.

Take note as we break all the rules.

Mainly the one about looking at the microphone while talking.

ep.12 - mother_feather

-OR- Whipcrack!: The Podcast

To actually be in the presence of all of Mother Feather would be akin to jumping, naked, into a volcano, thus, I sat down with the most vocal 2/5ths of the band, which still burned all the hair off of my body.

Experience the ebullience and refulgence that is Ann Courtney and Lizzie Carena as they sit down with me and engage in some Pop Cock Rock Talk.

PLUS hear a BRAND NEW TRACK from their forthcoming Living / Breathing EP!

ep.11 - david_alan_mack

- OR - Will Wheaton Likes My Pants:The Podcast

To usher in wave_2, I sit down with the author of The Calling, Wolverine: Road of Bones and the New York Times Bestselling seres Star Trek: Cold Equations.

We also discuss his “benign mental break" which manifested in an obsession with rabbits, the intricacies of David Fincher’s “Janie’s Got A Gun" music video and how he would end things in the Star Trek universe.

  Welcome back, digressers.
