99 Points

Like Sam Freaking Fischer…

June 27th, 2007

We’re going dark for a couple weeks.   This is a necessary hiatus.  A lot of changes are coming with it.

Among them: *  New Website

*  Various Format changes previously disclosed

*  Massive recording-setup changes

*  Better liners and sweepers

*  and More!

Solocasts will still be updated every Friday until we can get this all working smoothly.  We’re aware this is risky, taking a hiatus like this, but we’ve both agreed it is absolutely necessary.

We hope, once the hiatus has passed, and our new episodes are uploaded, you will agree.

Thanks again for listening, commenting, calling in, etc… for all that you guys do.

I’ll be back Friday with a new solocast.

99 Points to: Not Happening

June 24th, 2007

Sorry guys… due to some MASSIVE technical problems, this week’s episode will definitely not make it for Monday.  Everything that could go wrong just about did go wrong, from mic cables going out to software problems.

I’m going to try to salvage what audio I can, and assemble something listenable if at all possible.

If it happens, I’ll hopefully have it posted by Wednesday.

I’m really sorry about this folks.

UPDATE! An official announcement… change is good

June 16th, 2007

This is an update about some changes we’ll be making on our show:

1.  Listener points will be changed to “Your 2 Points” to allow for a better audience interaction with the hosts. 2.  The Omega Point will be dropped, for now, from the main show, but may return as a separate show in the same feed. 3.  We’re going to try to clean up the swearing to a more incidental basis.  Aiming for a low R, high PG13 rating here. 4.  Kate and I are both happy with last week, and hope to be incorporating more guests into the show. 5.  The podcast posting date is going to be changed to every Monday, instead of every Friday. 6.  Once these changes are incorporated, we’ll be focusing more on promoting the show.  This will mean adding other podcast promos to our show, but it will also mean more listeners to interact with. 7.  A big thanks to all who’ve listened as our podcast grows and evolves.

Expect our next full episode to be updated Monday, June 25th.

Though I hope to have something in the feed for you in the meantime.

Thanks again to all of you!!! Stephen

Also, a new prison Haiku!!!

REAL! Episode One: 99 Points to Podcasters

May 16th, 2007

In Episode One, I dedicate 99 points to other podcasters. Rather than coming off as the opinionated, sarcastic personality I normally exhibit, episode one quickly devolves into an “I love everything” extravaganza.

Sad but true.

Next week, we’ll have 99 Points to TV shows I hate, as well as some other content, including solo content recorded by my wife, Kate!
