Please welcome my very first Jezebel commenter, Yoga Nerd!

For whatever reason, there is a bit of a high school rivalry between Gawker and Jez, and Yoga Nerd is here to chat about some of the misconceptions and stereotypes of Jezebel.

Love or not love her, Yoga Nerd is definitely well-known and/or ubiquitous ( her words, not mine) She is also the subject of GOMI (Get Off My Internet)  threads on the internet…What’s it like to be well-liked but also so talked about? What’s it like to be the center of a pile-on?

Today on the show is (misguided) scallop hater and classical musician, Lisasaur! She didn’t tell me her real name, so, we’re going to have to call her Lisasaur! I called her Lisasaurus on the podcast, but what’s done is done. It’s in the past. Let’s move on.

Lisa has played cello in numerous community orchestras but has never felt compelled to go pro. So, I accidentally belittle her for that and then accidentally belittle her further by asking why she only plays dead people’s music and doesn’t do her own.

After that we have a new installment of T. Time in which T better articulates the questions I had and then answers them! Plus, blues music! Yay!

And then a lovely David Hameron joke by Jill Hackney!

Would you have ever guessed that Burl Ives Left Nut attended a seminary? Get to know the man behind the sexual escapades. There is a bonus Burly sex story at the end, involving shoes, blowjobs, and straight-ish men. Possibly a left nut too. Nuts for nuts as they say in NYC. Or do they.

Today on the show is marketing whiz and comic book artist David Pemberton! We talk about how he got into marketing, why he’s devoted himself to evil, and then a bunch of stuff about comics and diversity in comics.

If you’ve listened to the first few minutes already, you know my head’s all messed up. But it’s a good talk. He’s one of those super normal weirdos.

But check out his blog, twitter, and store! He’s a real person doing real things.

Please welcome our very own Miz Jenkins. We talk about race, gender, Gawker, Jezebel, white people… (you know, the common Gawker themes we just can’t get enough of!)

Check out Miz Jenkin’s article “African-American History X: MizJenkins, Jezebel and the Banning of Black Thought” in Persephone Magazine.

Today on the show I talk to Mike Verta! Don’t bother googling him, just click the link. Or just go check out his Online Masterclasses!

Mike Verta is mostly known in film composer circles due to his work… scoring films. But he’s also known (and sometimes hated) in Star Wars circles for his fan preservation project, Star Wars Legacy. Verta’s put a lot of hours and money into this project, but he never plans to personally release it (thus the hate). Find out why and whatever else we talk about in the episode! You’ve already downloaded it anyway, right?

Also, I misused the word ostensibly.

How would I describe Nefertitties, one of the funniest commenters on Gawker, in 3 words? Cheeky, whimsical, cutting. (That was hard!) Please excuse the weird sound in the beginning–it sounds like she is in a far away galaxy but like most some things, it gets better.

Today on the show is Usotsuki! Anime fan-subber, bible fan-translator, random obscure cartoon film fan-preservationist, etc.

Interesting dude.

You can check out his fan-subbing here and his bible translation here.

Also, stick around until the end for a new edition of T. Time! We talk about… whatever. Same sorta shit. Blues, being assholes, tarot, used paint, etc. His new videos are all up on his Zen Voodism site. Also, I genuinely asked if Willie Dixon was white. I’m not sure why I asked that, but I’ll own it.

Hello to Red Writer, a mod of the popular sub blog, The Salad Bowl. What’s her backstory?  What’s her views on a New Black?  Find out on this week’s episode and thanks again to RW for being on the show!  Please check out The Salad Bowl but don’t forget to be kind and rewind ( that means you should leave the attitude at the door, thank you!).

Today on the show is Hassan!!! HASSAN!!!! Hassan of Hassan’s cool mom fame. I should have included his outgoing voicemail message. Maybe next week.

We talk about the Disco Biscuits, following bands on tour, people we’ve known that have died, and racism. It’s a really uplifting conversation.

Stick around until the end to hear a semi(?)-autobiographical(?) spoken word piece by the Smudge! It’s long, but I dug it. Hope you do, too.
