AMAZON:  Random ThoughtsHere's that interview with Natalie Brown I promised you.  I noticed I had been shortchanging the folks on the Grizzly's Growls Podcast Only feed.  The interview was at the end of my last live "The IDSL" show.Natalie Brown Music included:"You Make Me Feel" from her "Let The Candle Burn" album"Around the World" from her "Random Thoughts"and ended with "You're Mysterious" from "Random Thoughts." The full "The IDSL" including the interview will be included in the IDSL High Quality feed, when I get that together.  Thanks for listening!Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 2 of 2 of the 06/14/09 Live show.Finally got connected to Shawno ("Hypernonsense," "Shawnogram") on Skype -- which is when all that technology when to hell...  There's a whole lotta cussin' edited out of this version, believe me.  And I got stuck with the BTR recording for this part, which is lower-quality than my Callburner recording had been.  Sorry about that; replaced all the music with originals, though, so that sounds better.Got very depressed with the tech failures.  But part of the problem was my misunderstanding what BTR does and doesn't do.  I could have fixed the call as easily as I broke it.  It wasn't as broken as I thought it was.Music: Levar Thomas - "Can't Hide From Love"Talked to Shawno about doing live shows on UStream, commiserating about my troubles that day.  Talked about Livestream.com, which is newer with more features.  Dr. Normal and Cami Kaos use that for "StrangeLove Live."I obsess some more about Callburner failure.  Talked about the technical aspects of recording from Skype -- which is pretty much always hard for everybody.Music: Levar Thomas - "Missing You"Discussed some of the complexities of domain names, and the differences in the way "Talkshoe" works, or worked.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part one, the first hour of last Sunday's live show.  I had some technical difficulties after the first hour, but this part came out really clear, with Callburner doing the recording, and a whole bunch of editing.Talked for a while about the swell deal I got at a nearby Rummage Sale: a Kodak Easy Share CX6200 and the original Kodak Easy Share printer dock, both in a box for $10.  Cool, huh?Music: Levar Thomas - "Ain't All Bad" and "Ain't All Bad Radio Mix."  Really like this tune, and it's got a really positive message.  I liked the way the two versions worked together, so I ended up editing them into one, long piece.  Hope he doesn't mind.  Thanks, Levar!Tried to talk to Jen from "Inside My Head" on the show, but couldn't get the audio on her end to work correctly.  This whole process, not Jen's fault, was what produced the escalating chaos later in the show.  Sometimes I think doing a call-in show is a mistake, once I got good on the regular podcast.  But if you don't challenge yourself, you never learn anything. Announced the last episode of "Flatland" is up on Podiobooks.com -- and it's also out there at the end of the Hiber-Nation feed, too, awaiting you.Finally got connected with Jen (aka "Queen of Haiku" on Twitter).  She had some nice things to say about Levar's music (and I kept obsessing about the technical stuff).  Got to play with my new Rejoiner for the show, too.  (Still having problems understanding her on the Click to Talk connection; had a horrible AC hum, which I edited out For Your Listening Pleasure.)Talked a bit about Jen & Shawno having their experimented with live shows for their "Hypernonsense" podcast, the one they do together.Discussed the upcoming interview with Natalie Brown this coming Sunday.Music:  Natalie Brown - "Hold Your Head Up High"Jen called back in on Skype, and it worked properly.  FINALLY!  But we had more technical difficulties with picky BTR stuff.  But at least I could finally hear her okay...  More discussion of live shows, UStream, All Things Azeroth.I've come to the conclusion I start having problems when I start getting call-ins.  Which is a bad sign for doing a call-in show, now ain't it?Discussed Jen's experiences (she's a teacher) with Swine Flu, or not Swine Flu.  I get all Scientific-sounding.  Talked about "ReGenesis," this show I watch(ed) on Hulu.  Wonder if it's still being produced?  And did they jump the shark?  And talked about "Castle," with Nathan Fillion starring.  Looking forward to that being on Hulu, too!AND THEN I foolishly took a moment to play some music & get more coffee, and broke stuff again...Music:  Natalie Brown - "You're Mysterious"... and off to part 2 of 2, dropping tomorrow...

Live on BTR 5 of 5 - After HoursGeneral chat.  Nothing that I recall I need to provide links for.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 4 of my live show on BTR this last SundayDiscussed something called OTS with Violet Light, and some other technical BTR stuffChatted with Robert aka Eareverence, who's been making the rounds of BTR showsI leapt to the defense of Disco, and reminisced about learning to talk by listening to an AM radio in my sleepI bragged at length about my Samson Zoom H2 Handy RecorderWe discussed Desert Rose's show being streamed on Fox, and her participating in a record attempt at having the most interviews in one day, to promote a bookDiscussed Eareverence's upcoming show on BTRMeredith from Braindouche! finally got to call in, and we talked briefly, but then we ran out of Streaming time.  We talked a bit more in the After Hours segment you'll hear on Friday.I've come to the conclusion I don't do well with too many people on the show at once.  I think a new rule will be only one caller on live at a time, unless there's a compelling reason to talk to a particular group all together.  The big PR show was an example of a "compelling reason."  They were all invited guests, and all PR podcasters, talking about PR and podcasting.Naturally, if I have an Invited Guest, that means one Caller at a time with a question for the Guest.  Or maybe none, if that's what's comfortable for me.Make sense?For you longtime listeners to the regular show, I hope at least the new format hasn't been too disruptive for you.  I hope I'm learning and getting better at doing a live show.  And you're welcome to call in on Sunday and become part of the show yourself.Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

The third part of my Live show on BTR.  Yes, I know, but I didn't know in advance I'd be cutting it up, so it does start and end rather abruptly...Promo for "Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions" on Podiobooks.comViolet Light and I discuss video gamesNatalie Brown: "Around the World"Promo from "Wild Animals I Have Known," also on Podiobooks.comI whine piteously to convince Mer from the Braindouche! podcast to call into my showI talk about The RulesTheme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod
