The Voice of Free Planet X

Yeah, J.R. Blackwell and I love our television, like any good nerds. We love The Middleman. We love Doctor Who. But having long since deep-sixed the cable, we cannot watch them the moment the come on the boob-tube. Also, we don't live in the United Kingdom. Naturally, as podcasters, we turn to the internets to solve all our problems. But there is no legitimate way to download the shows we love. We'd pay for it, if only we COULD. But we can't. There is no way to legitimate get the shows we want in any reasonable amount of time. Waiting months for the DVD is, quite frankly, unacceptable. Forced by neglect, we do the only thing we can. We turn to piracy. And we aren't happy about it, neither. The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

Theme music is Faithful by The Shillas. This week's story is Hold Me Like a Girl written and read by Jared Axelrod. I'm proud for this to be my first gay sex story. Even if you think you don't like this kind of story, listen anyways. You might be surprised. Jared is filling in for me this week while I recover from a nasty case of bronchitis. My voice is only just this moment coming back at all, and I would not have been able to give you a show nearly this good. Thank you, Jared.

We learn a little more about how Caroline deals with problem employees, Maureen tries to make friends, and Kevin makes a decision. Donât forget to check out the cast list for more information! More episodes of The Takeover available at murverse.com and zombinc.net

The Flusians are aquatic by nature, but can poke their heads out of water for a short time in order to converse with land-based off-worlders. Due to the lack of any sort of landmass on Flusie, you will be expected to meet their delgation on their spaceship. While their ship will be filled to the brim with water, they will have constructed a ânon-fish bowlâ for your comfort. A little plastic castle will be put in the non-fish-bowl, to remind you of home.

The fact remains, ladies and gentlemen, we have to meet the Geert price. We ought to do better than the Geert price, but due to the nature of our company, we'll probably get by merely with meeting them. But I will tell you this, we lose this bid, we lose the planet...

I had a chance to sit down with one of the most talented, prolific podcasters around, Christiana Ellis, which is not something you turn down.

My good and well-read friend Dan joins J.R. Blackwell and I in a roundtable--or is it salon? It may be a salon--about candy literature, comics and movies. It is also revealed that J.R. and I saw Bumblebee on the University of Pennsylvania's campus during the filming of TRANSFORMERS 2. It's okay to be jealous.

When dealing with the sentient planet Maelstrose, you may find it difficult to get its attention, due to your relatively minuscule size. When you do not succeed in getting the planet to respond to your hails, do not let it bother you. Mealstrose is 130 billion years old, and as such, its stories are long, boring, and it would probably fall asleep in the middle of talking to you anyway.

There's been a lot of talk about who we are versus how we are seen on this podcast. As fate would have it, famed photographers Katie West and Jack Scoresby were spending the weekend with J.R. Blackwell and myself here in Philly. Who better than the internet's most talented self-portraits artists to talk about how other people see ourselves? No one, that's who.

A rogue named Jack. Cinderella, a cleric who refers to her deity as god-mother. A charming prince of a paladin. Gretel, a witch hunter and all-around monster fighter. A ranger with the skin of a bear and bottomless pockets. A wizard with the preposterous name of Dr. Know-It-All. Fairy tale tropes, or the greatest Dungeons and Dragons campaign ever? Or possibly both. It's a idea I can't see to stop thinking about, so, naturally, I'd thought I'd share it with you.

You know what you don't hear? Bloopers. Flubs. Side Conversations. Muttering. Outtakes. Most people delete them, toss'em, throw them in the trash. Not the Voice of Free Planet X. We save them. We save them for YOU. The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

We are indebted to Tristan Tzara and his followers for the newest and perhaps the most important doctrinary insistence as applied to art which has appeared in a long time. Dada-ism is the latest phase of modernism in painting as well as in literature, and carries with it all the passion for freedom of expression which Marinetti sponsored so loudly in his futuristic manifestos. It adds likewise an exhilarating quality of nihilism, imbibed, as it is said, directly from the author of Zarathustra. Reading a fragment of the documentary statement of Dada-ism, we find that the charm of the idea exists mainly in the fact that they wish all things levelled in the mind of man to the degree of commonplaceness which is typical and peculiar to it. Nothing is greater than anything else, is what the Dada believes... --Marsden Hartley, 1921 The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

Feedback's packed tight tonight, as I talk about alot of things, but mainly extend Episode 136, only a little more rambley. Most of the rambling is directed toward Chris Miller's excellent essay which comes really close to being right, and then misses the point completely. Close, though. Real close. You should read it. Also, the recipe for Irish Nachos: 1 bag kettle chips 6 ounces finely grated Cheddar, approximately 2 1/4 cups 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions 2 cups sour cream Set 1 of the oven racks on the lowest shelf and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the chips on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the chips with the Cheddar cheese and the bacon. Bake in the oven on the bottom rack for 7 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble. Spoon sour cream on top, and sprinkle green onions The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net
