The longest episode of RadioZoom yet, I take a look at the tornados that tore up the downtown area of Iowa City. I used to live and work in this city. Paul Flahive is a former co-worker of mine who sent me audio from some of the recordings he captured for use in the weekend program. I run some of those pieces as well as some raw audio that he sent along as well.

Thanks also goes out to David Henderson, an intern at WSUI who collaborated with Paul in the collection of this audio.

This Six Song Donut Spectacular comes to you for the first time on a set, regular basis. On the 15th of every month, I’ll bring you six songs in a single epsiode, doing my best to cut down on the chit-chat and talk strictly music. I’ll tell you what I know about the artists and give you more resources to find out about them.

This episode is an examination of the Asian Man Records library of bands, selecting six that were passed on to me by The Reverend Don Deeley and the Podsafe Music Network.

• Screeching Weasel – veronica hates me
• Let’s Go Bowling – oatmeal for x-mas
• Duvall – standing at the door
• Slapstick – there’s a metalhead in the parking lot
• The Broadways – 15 minutes
• Bagheera – long division

Sorta just started recording this one with only a few notes prepared. I find that allows you to just ramble on when you’re not paying attention. We discuss some current events in the Vancouver area, talk about the Canucks in the Hockey Talk portion, and discover what the rule of “icing” is about in Learning Hockey w/ Uncle John. Towards the end, I also detail my plan about an ongoing idea/feature that I will create for the podcast from now on.

Minidisc and microphone packed along for the trip, Rebecca and I take some time to review our trip to the Okanagan, things we did during our stay, and the route we drove to get there. There’s quite a bit you can do in the Okanagan, but we went for the wine tours. Since it’s been a while that Rebecca has been on the podcast, we also took some time for hockey talk. We also chat about some of the supernatural legends in B.C and some of the other areas in the interior.

Life is unscripted, and so is this. We’ll chat a little about me loaning my talents out for free and how that is keeping me busy while I wait for paperwork to go through with the government. Rebecca and I are off on a trip into the interior tomorrow, the Okanagan being our destination. Wrap up this episode with hockey talk about the Canucks and the rough road to the playoffs.

This video podcast is a collection of clips that I have taken over a period of various rides on the SkyTrain. The motion might be a little too much for the encoding to handle, and my camera does not take the highest resolution of movies. More so, I can’t afford a compact flash card with greater capacity to shoot a lot of high resolution movies. I might experiment with that in the future, but doing so fills up the two, 128Mb cards that I currently own very quickly.

I hope you enjoy seeing what it’s like riding on the SkyTrain. I know that I enjoy every ride I get to take.

The Vancouver Sun is running a series of articles about podcasting, so I take a moment to share what they are covering and my thoughts about what they have wrote. We’ll do some Hockey Talk and wrap up with some email regarding the feedback I’ve been asking for.

A ferry sank yesterday off the coast of British Columbia. I take a moment to provide some insight to the incident. In the second portion of today’s episode, you get to go on a ride with me in the car as I drive in a car by myself for only the second time that I’ve been living in Vancouver. All my apologies for the quality, but I promise to not make the same mistake next time.
