  • Episode 41

    If you want to do a before and after comparison, listen to my intro for this episode, then go back and listen to my intro for episode forty (a pre-TIFF episode). Pretty sure the weariness is audible.

    No matter dear friends, as things are slowly but surely returning to normal around these parts…including the podcast two out of five dentists recommend.

    Apologies in advance, as I seem to have figured out a setting for my mic that increases the podcast audio, but came with a small unforeseen side effect. Everything oughta be sorted out by the next episode. For now, please enjoy the company of a returning guest this week, one from the heart of Texas.

    Here’s what’s in store in the Tom Seaver episode…

  • Wicked Little Town: TIFF 2011 pt. iv

    If you listen very closely, you can hear the weariness in our voices. What can I say folks? Some people take vacation and catch up on R&R…my wife and I take vacation and push our endurance harder than much of the rest of the year.

    There wasn’t a sexy choice to talk about on day eleven, and even if there was time didn’t really allow. So we decided to speak about the festival at large, which turns my show from MaMo-esque into a full-on MaMo rip-off.

    Here’s what’s in store in WLT Part Three…

    Runtime: 28 minutes

    Up for Discussion – The festival at large, with special attention to Audience Choice Winner WHERE DO WE GO NOW.

    So much to talk about, so little time! Many of you might have already tuned into this – but if not, here’s another impromptu TIFF discussion with not one, but two fellow podcasters as guests.

    It’s always a momentus event when The CriticalMassCast, Row Three Cinecast, and Matineecast universes collide.

    I’m back, and this time I brought a newbie along with me…someone who not only has never been on The Matineecast before, but hasn’t even listened to an episode!

    Apologies in advance as it would appear as though my mic was a tad buggy during the introductory part of my talk with Corey, but stick with the show as things settle themself out in short order.

    Here’s what’s in store in WLT Part One…

    Runtime: 15 minutes, 28seconds

    It’s taken a few days to finally turn my microphone on, but it was only a matter of time really.

    Part one of this year’s series finds me at The Friar & Firkin pub with Beth the Danger Girl talking about the unexpected joy that Nacho Vigalondo is capable of.

    Here’s what’s in store in WLT Part One…

    Slight shake-up this week. Podcast post on Sunday, Review post will come on Monday. I could explain why, but it’s not that interesting a story.

    I mention this within the episode, but it’s worth noting here – the full show is taking a break for a few weeks, but my series of TIFF man-on-the-street will take over beginning this coming weekend. (If anybody has requests, now is the time).

    Special thanks must be given to this episode’s guest, who not only came in rather last-minute, but was game for not only doing a spin on a show she’d never listened to, but likewise game for sitting down with a guy she didn’t really know all that well. Pretty much the definition of a good sport.

    Here’s what’s in store in the Andrew Bailey episode…
