The Bitterest Pill

I discuss applying to college, Yetis, getting what you pay for (podcasting education wise), and mouse droppings.

Why would a rodent want to eat the wheels off our luggage? I have no idea…

I’ll be teaching my college level, credit bearing PODCASTING COURSE at UCLA EXTENSION this Spring Quarter. If you want to learn from someone who knows which part of the microphone to talk into, you can sign up at the UCLA Extension web site.

If you wanna learn podcasting for free, you’ll have to either wait for me to finish up the free videos I’m producing right now, or you can just go check out Dave Jackson’s School of Podcasting and Paul Colligan’s site. Any questions, let me know…

Well, I’m back (and apparently can’t stop talking).  Mostly, this episode is about what happens when anxiety, procrastination and the Sophomore Slump collide. The results?  A short film not ironically entitled “Untitled Compromise.”

Then, I talk about the election.  Don’t worry, it’s pH balanced…I think.

Wow, now that I see this clip again, there is SO much missing.  Ugg.  What a mess. I still love it though…

If you want to know, someday I’ll show you the cowl I made, and explain how I made it.  It is currently not finished.  It’s a mess. But, it’s right on target…

Music in this episode was by Nangdo.

New episodes coming soon.  This one was originally released in March, 2009…

The New York Times is finally right.  I am an addict…

If you don’t know what Twitter is by now, there’s nothing I can do for you…just go to Twitter and stare at it for a while.  You’ll work it out.  If that doesn’t help, contact my sane alter ego at Jacket Media.  He’s explain it to you slowly and clearly…

What is the statute of limitations on being a teenage Lothario?  Or rather, wanting to be…

Here is my interview with SETH ANDERSON, the creator of The Northstar Saga.  I was going to wait and include this as part of the next episode of The Bitterest Pill, but I’m afraid time is running out on the Northbound Season Two Kickstarter campaign, so I thought I’d send it out now.

Seth and I talk about the upcoming feature film, Northstar, and it’s prequel web series, Northbound.  Now, I don’t want to give out any spoilers, but let’s just say I have a vested interest in them getting to the last four or so episodes of Season Two…

I have never been so excited about a project in my life, and you can hear it in the interview, as I continuously cut Seth off to talk and talk and talk.  If you want to fully understand what we’re on about, and don’t already know about Northbound (available exclusively via GeekNation.com), you can watch Season One as a supercut and the Character Teaser we talk about at great length, below.

(2/17/09) First I had a twitch in my eye, then he folded my face in half.  I went to school with make-up on and disappointed my son.  Eventually, I shined my shoes and went to Kinkos.  Of course, this isn’t even the half of it…

Jerome Benton is an actor, dancer and vocalist, best known for being comic foil to Morris Day as a member of the funk rock band The Time.  He co-starred in Prince vehicles Purple Rain, Under the Cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge.  He is currently preparing for a new album and tour with the original members of The Time.

You don’t really have the soundtrack to Purple Rain unless you have Ice Cream Castle…

*Special note to particularly young white people: The Time is the band that brings the house down at the end of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

I talk about Cory Paus, try to remember the name of Scarface, get hit with a copyright infringement claim for a song I made in GarageBand, and try to get the stain out of my karate uniform.

My daughter and I made a short film.

This show was recorded so long ago, I think it’s the one I recorded right after Prince died…

All I need to do is pick up Melissa’s prescription.  Shouldn’t be that hard, right?

Hudson and I go looking for tide pools, but all we find is the tide.

Hudson Klass visits the garage to discuss school, careers, art and money.
