Maybe we should change the date these are to be posted...anyway...The week has been kicking my butt, but Joseph and I still manage a quick time together to talk about King of the Nerds, Almost Human, Phoenix Comic Con, and a few other things.Please feel free to leave comments.  We love comments!  And make sure to catch us again for the next episode, the 50th!  Woot!

I don't know why, but my mind was completely blank of any news.But Joseph saves the day!  There is a Super-bowl party which was quite nerd friendly.  And bowling and darts too.  We saw the finale of American Horror Story and hit some Birthday greetings.  And I offer flavor text.

Thank you all for being with us and we look forward to your comments!

Two things before we get started. 

1) I have a cold. 

2) Further research into the Geek and Nerd thing indicates that it will be revisiting.  Soon.

Anyway, Joseph is back from California and we talk about a bunch of stuff.  I start out with talk of Isaac Asimov and HIV, then move onto a few thoughts brought to mind by a great piece written by comic book great, Paul Kupperburg.  Listen to the podcast, then read what he wrote here... http://kupps.malibulist.com/2014/01/26/stan-and-jack-and-steve-and-mort-and-jerry-and-joe/ (or vice-versa, I don't think it will matter).Then Joseph tells us about his trip with Gini Koch.  He brings up the idea os Superfans, which leads me to discuss my thoughts about Nerd Culture Appropriation, based on some weird information I found on the whole Geek vs. Nerd debate.  We discuss what we just saw on American Horror Story and on Rachel vs. Guy.  I mention the anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons, 

Joseph then makes sure to remind you all about our upcoming interview on the BlogGoddessradio with Tina Marie Williams - http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebloggoddess.  It will be live, and you can call in to ask us questions at (347) 838-9025.  Then we address listener feedback!Thank you for being part of all this, and We look forward to your input!

well, this is on time-ish.  Or would have been if it had successfully uploaded, darn it!We thought that we would only be doing part of the episode with Joseph, but then we got the whole deal!We talked about American Horror Story, Bad Karaoke Contests, Face Off, my problems with Fantasy Fiction, Project Runway, and reviews on works by T. M. Williams and Darryl Dawson.  Oh, and I also take a moment to explain why I am always urging the iTune reviews and ratings.We respond to comments and remind people that we will be interviewed next week.  What?  You didn't know?  We are being interviewed on The Blog Goddess Radio on January, 30th 2014 at 9:00pm EST (6:00pm PT).  It will be live, and you can even call in with questions.  The number is (347) 838-9025.  We look forward to hearing from you!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebloggoddessThank you for being part of our family and we look forward to hearing from you.

Joseph and I went to DarkCon this weekend.  Our friend Gini Koch was the Author Guest of Honor, and we went to help her out and offer whatever support we could.  In the process we got to hang out with many other fun people, some old, some new.  

Follow along as we talk about the whole thing, including some moments where "You are there!".  

Thank you for helping us grow, and please comment or ask questions.  

(if you have a spare moment, hey, a 5-star review on iTunes would be fantastic!)

Wow! Here we are!Let's see...American Horror Story: CovenSteampunkWalking DeadDarkconPaul DiniWonder WomanMiss Ebonyand much more...I thank you all for helping us grow. Oh, and I know that I said I would link up a story, but I can't figure out how that would work.  And I apologize for the sound issues - we were having some recordings issues and we worked them out best we could, but the sound did suffer for it.The closing song was a performance by Miss Ebony, but you don't see that on an audio podcast, do you?  But you do get to hear a couple drunks, so that is something.DarkCon info is here - http://darkcon.org/Morrie Carter's/Ms. Ebony's Memorial Service will be held:Saturday, January 11th at 12:00 Noonat The Alwun House Gardens1204 E.

Late!  Surprise!

I was almost announcing that there would be no show this week, but then I listened to Patrick doing his ScreamQueenz podcast and a brilliant idea came to me.  I hope you enjoy!

Again, I cannot thank you all enough for helping make the relaunch so successful.  Please leave comments and questions, and we will catch you next week!

oh my lord!  I am starting out with thanking everyone for their support last episode.  We are building back up from the hiatus so quickly, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, like a caterpillar in a deep fryer!  Thank you!Second, we all knew a regular episode wasn't happening for Christmas, right?  You all really should have told me.  So what we get here is a (mostly) family appropriate set of music and clips.  Dawn Davenport ruined family time for everyone, but what do you expect from someone who was eating a meatball sandwich right out in class?Listen to Honey Cone, Blue Magic (brought to you by Coke, McDonald's, and the good people at Chevrolet), Mame, Akim and Teddy Vann, Snow Miser and Heat Miser, and the lovely Lois Bromfield.  Let's see if it is a normal episode for the New Year, or more clips and music.  You probably know better than i do.Again, thank you all, and as always, leave comments and questions!
