The Geek Fu Morning Show

No Heaven this week, but a guest essay about Firefly. I have made the move to Farpoint Media and therefore had to rename all the files and make sure all the ID3 tags were happy. This… took a long time. During this tedium, I discovered that three podcasts are outside the normal numbering mechanism. So in order to make the track numbers and episode numbers match up, I’ve leapt ahead in the numbering to cause this to be #67. You haven’t miss anything. Trust me.

My mom, Donna, joins me to discuss Passover, sci-fi, and she wants podcasting and sci-fi book recommendations.

Wendell sends us a Firefly essay!

More Heaven next week.

Stuff n’ things.

We catch up. A guest reads an essay. I’ll probably have better show notes when I’m less tired. But regardless, Geek Fu is back.

Geek Fu #27 - No Shame

Essays, Podcasting June 13th, 2005

Actually the podcast - the essay - has to do with writer’s block. But the very first part of the podcast shows I have no shame. So vote! Vote for the boobs!

Podcast Outlaws

Daughters of Freya

Nuketown Radio Active

For the record, because I am paranoid in retrospect, I wish to clarify the following things: I am not saying I came up with Podcast Outlaws first. I thought it was a cool idea because it reminded me of something I wanted to do. That’s all.

Geek Fu #13

Essays, Podcasting March 6th, 2005

You know, I listened to this today, and suddenly it seems like Last Night Mur missed the entire point of the whole Podcast Alley thing. Not only are lots of people asking for votes, which is fine, but not something I’m comfortable doing - but also they’re pissed at the people who are driving their listeners to vote one star for the podcasts above them. And yeah, calling for bad votes for your competitors is uncool, I will agree.

And just to make sure I’m clear, I am very grateful for my listeners and appreciate you guys very much. Tons, in fact. Buckets and bucketsful of appreciation.

And the topic of today’s essay - the fact that I used to be a big ole crybaby. Sadly, the sniffles didn’t translate well into audio form without me sounding like I was snorting.
