My first show of the new year gives you a wrap up of my holiday celebrations and recent podcasting, blogging, and band activities, and laments the downside of podcasting over the holiday season. BTW, here’s my iLike Picks and the i am nerd podcast site… [ed. just noticed my intro slip – doh!]
Ryan and Anji give a brief rundown of their New Year’s celebrations — including Anji’s Tofurky Roast feast, the band wax poetic on recent audio equipment updates, including a Ryan rant on speakers and subwoofers, Ryan becomes an iLike convert, Anji shares fan mail connecting her to French Maid TV, Anji shares her “Internet Land Bridge Theory” and that’s about it…
Anji and Ryan sit down for their final episode of the year! Topics include Anji joining the Sirius Stars 102 show lineup, embarrassing moments on iLike, the Podsafe Music Network, fan feedback, Anji’s new Show Girls podcast, Lovespirals’s first living room concert, and more! We share a clip of Ryan’s 1999 recording of “Little Drummer Boy” featuring his previous singer, Suzanne Perry.
Anji and Ryan are back with the latest band news — including a big, big podcast announcement and a big, big CD sale, plus more music geekery, and listener feedback, including an audio feedback from CC Chapman of the award winning Accident Hash podcast!
