Throwing this into the feed - I'm going to be appearing on Fanboy Hell, which Dan, myself, and our friend Jefferson talk about various fannish stuff.  This episode, we do some news and talk about Torchwood and Dr. Who.  So, download, enjoy, and if you like it - let me know - I'll throw the episodes into the feed here so you hear more from me.  On the next Fanboy Hell, we talk about Speed Racer.

I do have an I Am Legend show coming, and in the pipeline - more anime! I just finished Neon Genesis Evangelion, and am almost done Mezzo.  There will be more Gunslinger Girl coming down the pipes as well.

So, I'm still here, I'm still recording!  I need to get some other voices on the show (though I love Dan dearly), so if you want to do a media review with me, let me know and we will make it happen.

Also, I'm going to be going to Balticon in a few weeks, and will be on a couple of different panels.  If you are going to be going - drop me a line!

Lazy show notes for right now.  Basically - I talk about Rock Band, Senseo, and the BEST BSG THEORY EVER.  Maybe.  Links to come - I wanna go watch Lost!

Hey everyone!

I know I've been quiet for the past month or so - but that's because things have been nuts around here.  Trying to plan a wedding, getting an apartment in order - I've been going nuts!  But we got the studio set up, and you can expect some real shows coming soon with media reviews of I Am Legend, Rock Band, and some other things.

But in the meantime, last week I appeared on the show Dan is on Otaku Generation.  It's a little different than I what I normally do, but I thought at least I would give you something to listen to.

And coming soon - I appear in an episode of Fanboy Hell where we talk Torchwood!

So new content coming soon, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this.  If you did, let me know at 206-338-3942.

Talk to you in a bit!
MA

No regular show this week, guys - there has been so much going on here, I haven't had time to sit down at the mike, except to record an episode of Escape Pod.  But Big Things happened in the last week.  If you missed it on Twitter:

Also - today is Infected Day!  Scott Sigler's Infected hits the stores today (though I know some were able to pick it up early).  I think we are going to pick up our copies tonight - I guess we'll see how we feel.  Muscles have been sore from all the moving we've been doing.

And finally, on a sober note - today marks the year anniversary of the passing of Joe Murphy, when he lost his battle with Leiomeiosarcoma.  I remember Joe - as my favorite voice on Slice of Sci Fi, Michael and Evo's Wingin It, and The Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas.  I never met him, and I have a feeling my life is poorer for it.  So, for this show, I'm playing the tribute episode.  Here are the show notes posted at Give Us a Minute:

These are the reflections, the memories, and the considerations of people from across the country and around the world that called Joe Murphy “friend”…

• Chris Lester (Detroit, Michigan)
• Brad Bowyer (Louisville, Ketuckey)
• Valerie Griswold-Ford (Conchord, New Hampshire)
• Kevin Bachelder (Boston, Massachusetts)
• Megan a/k/a The Podcast Junky (Podosphere, The Internet)
• Cat a/k/a The SciFi Ranter Girl (Houston, Texas)
• Zac Ricks (Rexburg, Idaho)
• Nathan Lowell (Greeley, Colorado)
• Paul Fischer (Dunn Loring, Virginia)
• Tony Mast (Ofallon, Missouri)
• Just a J0e (Podosphere, The Internet)
• Robin Hudson (Seoul, Korea)
• Philippa Ballantine (Wellington, New Zealand)
• Tee Morris (Manassas, Virginia)
• TD-0013 (Dune Sea, Tattoine)
• Debbie Walker (Mesa, Arizona)
• Jack Mangan (Phoenix, Arizona)
• Sheila Unwin (Chandler, Arizona)
• Evo Terra (Chandler, Arizona)

These are only a few of the lives this one single voice in the podosphere touched. This is a show that may make you laugh, may make you cry, and will give you a look at the soul we all knew for far too brief a time. For those of you contributing to this audio tribute, we at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund thank you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
On April 1st, either in place of or in addition to your show if you have one posted on that date, we at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund ask that you play this special episode. Play no additional promos, just this episode, and please direct show notes for the episode here at joemurphymemorialfund.org. And when you play the Tribute show, feel free to post the title of your show, where in the world you podcast from, and tag it with “((Title of Your Podcast)) Remembers Joe.”

The more people carry this episode, the more people will know about our missing ninja. Thank you all for your time and attention. Tell everyone you know.

*I'm tagging this explicit, just cause these are Irish songs that some might not play when their kids are in the room.  My niece however, is guaranteed to chill out to the whole album, and sings along with 'Boom'  I'm just doing a CYA here.*

Lazy show notes.  More later when my head stops hurting.

Warning:  This episode is plagued with audio problems.  I promise they will be resolved by the next episode.

Hey everyone, I'm feeling under the weather, so Episode 26 isn't going to be released today.  It should be out tomorrow or in the next few days, depending on how I feel to get the media review actually recorded.

Sorry about it - but hopefully I'll be back to normal soon!

MA

Welcome to episode 25 - show notes are going to be quick and dirty today -  I'm a bit under the weather.  This episode, listener Steve Wright and I talk about the movie Legend.  I also talk iPhones, Blender peoples and Cool Whip.

Also - as a correction to last week's podcast - Bryan who gave me the great advice on the turkey is not the Bryan from Food Geeking, but rather is a fellow cast member in.  Metamor City Sorry about that!

There is no voice mail section this week due to small technical difficulties.  I will fix that, and may do a special edition sometime in the next two weeks which will have the voice mail I've received since episode 24.

In this episode, MA talks turkey, birthday cakes, cell phones, Pokemon, and does a media review with returning guest Diane Severson.  This show we discuss one of the classic teen films from the 80's - Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and how it made us feel like teens again, longing for those stylin' clothes from the 80's.  Or not.

And because I forgot - the Ferris Bueller episode of 'Hey Wanna Watch a Movie'

That's it for this episode.  Next time - hear about my on going search for a cell phone - since recording this episode, I've seen the new update for the iPhone, and certain other gadgets of mine have given up the ghost, so the iPhone may not be off the table.  And yes, there will be some anime discussion coming soon, I promise!  If you want to weigh in on the episode, or just say hi - you can send me an e-mail at mainthepa at gmail.com, leave a comment here, or send me a voicemail at (206)338-3941.

Be good everyone, and I'll talk to you in two.

P.S.  and thanks to Dan for the picture that was posted from this episode.  yes - I was playing Pokemon and battling Doug Rapson over the internet when it was taken!
