This week, standard 2 piece band is on stage again. Lando and myself start off talking about the recent death of J.G. Ballard and the guilty verdict in the Pirate Bay case. After that, I take a moment (or 10) to give my take on the recent U.S. CIA torture memo flap, which leads into a discussion on the unwieldy weight of our nation in recent times. From there we talk about the Kryptos sculpture, the need to solve puzzles and the intersections of art and science. Finally, we talk about a recent article predicting the death of universities. Are our centers of learning a doomed species? Enjoy!

Wow. This week Lando and Cooter filled in for me, and the topics are quite exceptional. From road rage to toilet humor, this one's got it all. Enjoy!

I don't know about you, but I never expected Lando and myself to do a show about cars. And yet, here it is! Enjoy!

This week we're doing something a little different, as Cooter and I do the show sans Lando. We cover quite a bit of ground, starting with Ron Paul getting mighty uncomfortable with Sasha Cohen and whether ignorance is ever understandable. From there we move into some more scientific realms, starting with Cooter's ideas on clean fuel before moving into the potentially huge Wolfram Alpha project. After that, we talk another innovation that has some fantastic promise: Glasshouse. All this talk about the future and amazing technology on the horizon naturally leads to some musing on the stunning things we have with us right now. Flying cars, the commonality of touch screens, toy brain scanners...the future is now baby! Enjoy!

This week, we open with a wide range of subjects, from lip plumper to the PS3 to HD porn. From there I show Lando a weapon in Fallout 3 he goes all lovey over, and we each talk a bit about how we're playing that game and what we think of it . After that, we move into the power of manufactured myth on American culture. From flight jackets to nationalism, we turn our eyes on the lies we tell ourselves as individuals and nations. Also, Volkswagen Toe Rags and Space Foxes. Enjoy!

This week, we open with the discussion and dissection of a lurching hunk of worthless cinema called Drawing Restraint 9. After we tear that apart, we talk a bit about false advertising and then move into the divergent approaches to fixing the economic meltdown that are fighting for dominance. Finally, we talk about one of the great strange items of interest in the homeland: the ever burning town of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Some things you just can't make up. Enjoy!

Episode 4 of the thirty here for ya. This episode: a live concert comparison review of my recent trip to see the Reverend Horton Heat, and then my current impressions on playing Fallout 3.

This week we're doing a show with a bit of fluff and some hopefully interesting substance. We open talking about a movie we saw recently, the stop-motion feature Coraline. After that, we move into the meat of the show as we examine technologies are so woven into the fabric of daily life that we don't even notice it anymore. Fire, shoes, the phone....all so common we barely notice them, but how critical do they become when they're gone? Enjoy!
