We have a new episode up already, just four days after the last one. New gear is the excuse — an MXL 990 mic (which Chuck doesn’t love) — but really, who needs an excuse to podcast?

People/sites we talked about tonight are:

Our first listener (in our hearts) NakedJen
Mighty Girl

JournalCon people Melinda (who also left us a voicemail, which we played), AC Nightmare, Weetabix, Amanda (she of the Tim Tams).

Music-wise, we discovered Brother Love while listening to Adam Curry’s podcast and downloaded two of his songs from the Podsafe Music Network to play in our own show.

Chuck also recommended the Everest Podcast, by a self-confessed city slicker who’s climbing Mount Everest — not all the way to the top, “just” to Advanced Base Camp 3, but that’s still pretty damned high — and podcasting his experience day-by-day.

So check out the podcast, now with multicolored mic condoms!

NSR #9 ais here, complete with a really too long, poorly produced “Sounds of Houston” segment in answer to El Guapo’s recurring question “What does it sound like there?” every time Chuck posts a blog entry about being on the road. Beth was so bored by it that it killed her enthusiasm to podcast and she forgot what she wanted to talk about and didn’t care that she forgot. Lesson learned: Beth must have final cut on everything Chuck puts together for the podcast.

Tonight’s topics…

Yet another entry for the “lost episode” file — we recorded half this show before we realized it had stopped recording 49 seconds in, making this really NSR #9.5
An appearance by our daughter Zoe, who was supposed to be asleep hours ago but instead talks about her planned Halloween decorations.
JournalCon
Chuck’s blog’s The View From Here series of pictures from hotel room windows and its possible eligibility for an Ig Nobel Award.
Beth has finally started listening to other podcasts.
The Love Ride
What makes a good podcast? Beth says “slice of life.”
Chuck’s new favorite podcast: The PK and J Show
The Sounds of Houston.
Pappadeaux — you can’t get there from here.
Beth invited her mom for Thanksgiving.
Watching the mid-air collision scene from Fight Club on an airplane.
Chuck was the big winner at poker with four sevens.
Beth’s complete willingness to throw Chuck under the bus at any point in the conversation.
Beth almost cries as Chuck plays us out with Tim McGraw’s She’s My Kind of Rain

Give a listen to the Sounds of Houston.

We’re back after a 2 and a half week hiatus due to an overload of technology. You thought we had a lot of podcasting crap last time? Now we have even more. Listen with amazement as we use not one, not two, not three, but four separate input channels on the mixer in tonight’s podcast.

Tonight’s topics include…

The growing “lost episode” list
Podcast technology overload
Chuck buys his own birthday presents before Beth can
The Eagles concert and Beth’s issues with Chuck’s recording it with a smuggled Iriver
How many Eagles Beth has slept with and other music industry name-dropping
National Muffin Week
Another voicemail on the SOAP line
WAMCO fills in for the Magic Date Ball
An interview with Jeffrey Dahmer
A reciprocal shout-out to Mr. Shark Attack and Lady Starfish — or “Sharkboy and Lava Girl,” as Beth keeps calling them
A midnight encounter with a possible zombie

Somehow, we’re accomplishing Less Podcasting Through More Technology.

This time we’re podcasting from the dining room with a mixer and multiple inputs and cables and headphones and all kinds of other crap we don’t really need that keeps us from doing this from bed. But we’re using a better microphone, so maybe it sounds better?

A few entries from the growing list of reasons why Chuck hates Macintosh
Listener mail from the Soap Line
Multiple calls to the Soap Line from our first stalker, GraceDavis
Beth gives Lainie Kazan major stink-eye over raw fish
Jeffrey Dahmer sings from beyond the grave
Advice from the Magic Date Ball

Come with us to our bedroom as we bring the laptop to bed and record what happens! But bear in mind that we’re married with a kid — all that really happens is just a lot of talking.
