...by not updating for a month, I mean.  And yes, I know that in the show I say that's it's #15 not #16, but I think that all just goes with the charming, homemade feel of the whole enterprise, don't you think?  Just nod, just nod.

This is a special Dark of the Moon edition of Tales of the Brass Hedgehog, mostly taken up by a radio show that I was on on Sunday promoting the show and playing the music and so on.  I hope you enjoy it and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled podcast next week.

And it's a Merry Christmas Podcast!  I can't manage to do this at the best of times, but on Christmas morning I'm podcasting away like an elf with an iRiver.  Not that I have an iRiver, but you get the point.

Artist of the Podcast was really mostly a Website of the Podcast, falalalala.com, playing the best in cheesy Christmas music from your childhood, and they're marvelous daily Christmas music download, ADVENTures in Carols.

Songs played: "Deck the Halls" by the Osmond Brothers, "Santa's On His Way" by The Town Pipers, "Three Kings" by The Glad Singers, and "A Podsafe Christmas Song" by Jonathan Coulton.

So you thought that last week was a one-off and I wouldn't manage again this week!  Especially since it's next week.  But still, I recorded this last night (Sunday) so it totally counts for last week even though it's this week that I am posting it.

Mentioned in passing, Christine Lavin, Ray Jessel, Julie Gold (whom I think I called Nancy Gold) and probably other stuff that I can't remember because I didn't take any notes.

Artist of the Podcast: Mary Liz McNamara, the spelling of whose last name I butchered over and over again, and whose album, Unhinged, is available at CD Baby.

Guess what?  I totally podcasted!  I know, I know, it's quite a shock, but at last the SLA released me from that dark closet and the first thing that I did, blinking dazedly in the light, is record a podcast.  That's how much I care for you.

Anyway, mentioned in passing were Clever Little Pod, Cast-On, and The Podsafe Music Network

The Artist of the Podcast: Dust Rhinos, their cds are available at CD Baby, and I played the songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Cheers to You" and "Jedi Drinking Song"

Mentioned in passing, Alaska Podshow and good ol' Clever Little Pod (featuring me on Episode 17).

Artist of the Podcast: The Candy Butchers/Mike Viola
Songs Played: "What to Do With Michael", "Let's Have A Baby", "Hair Of The Dog" and "Clusterfuck".

In a MUCH better mood this week, so I'm podcasting and there's lots of swell music and fun stories and we're all back to normal round our way.

Mentioned in passing, Great Big Sea's podcast and The Aycliffe Podcast, both excellent podcasts, but neither are the Podcast of the Podcast, because I didn't do that again this week.

Artist of the Podcast: The Arrogant Worms

Great good heavens, the whining and pissing and moaning in this podcast!  Also the gnashing of teeth!  Nothing like recording a podcast after a terrible rehearsal of a show that opens in five days, that's what I always say.

Fortunately, I play some great music, so it gets better.  Mentioned in passing, Cast On, Sage Tyrtle of Quirky Nomads, the Podsafe Music Network, and Librivox.

Artist of the Podcast: Jim's Big Ego
Songs Played: "WTFMFWTFAYT?", "Stress", "They're Everywhere", and "Prince Charming".

It's the All-Acting Story of the Week version of Tales of the Brass Hedgehog!  I take a week off, and I end up with so much to tell! 

There is music as well, but here it is, only the 8th episode, and already I'm into repeats, but since it's Jonathan Coulton, and you could easily do an all-Jonathan Coulton podcast, I don't think it's any kind of a cheat on you guys.

The artist of the podcast: Jonathan Coulton
Songs played: " A Womb With a View", "Chiron Beta Prime", and "Re: Your Brains" (video here)
Fabulous t-shirts and merch available here
And don't forget Thing a Week

Ahh, a lovely podcast recorded in a relaxed manner at a reasonable hour, what a treat!  Except for the cat walking across my keyboard, my chair losing altitude, and the CONSTANT mouse-clicks!  Have there always been this many mouse clicks and I am only just noticing?

Anyway, mentioned in passing were Librivox, the recording of Richard Corey, and the Podsafe Music Network.

Artist of the Podcast: Deirdre Flint, whose cds can be purchased here and here (and also here), is a member of Four Bitchin' Babes, and whose truncated (but still brilliant) podcast is available here.

Lord have mercy, do you know what I did last night?  I FORGOT to do my podcast!  Until I was lying in my bed and going to sleep and...whoops!  So I got up early again this week and I did my damn early morning podcast thingy.  Mentioned casually in passing, Brenda Dayne's Cast-On, (again!  It will really be the Podcast of the Podcast someday, I promise!), Clever Little Pod, and CLP's new episode with my guest fabulousness on it.

Artist of the Podcast: Tracy Newirth
Songs played: "I'm the Girl", "Miss Byrd", "Imagine My Surprise", and "My Simple Christmas Wish", from Tracy's 2001 album, "I'm the Girl" available at CD Baby dot com.

Okay, so I thought this was going to be a short episode, since I did it this morning instead of last night, and it turned out to be the longest one yet!  Sorry about that, but there is lots of swell music, so I think it's going to be okay with you guys.  It was recorded even more on the fly than usual, and the clicking that you hear during the show is me fiddling with the Lust Pollution cd cover.  Whoops! 

I have some fab new theme music, "Octopus Two" by Cagey House, a new bumper from Clever Little Pod, I mentioned Ten With Tom in passing, and the Lust Pollution TV recording show that I saw in NY I wrote about here, and the other person I went with besides Shmuel was my friend Lucy.  I am ashamed for forgetting who you were during the podcast, Lucy!  Admittedly, it was seven years ago, and also I am losing my mind.

Next podcast my goal is to stop saying "um".  Planning what I am going to say ahead of time might help!

Artist of the Podcast: Lust Pollution
Songs played: "Sex Toys", "Whore", "Sadists in the Stars", "Kubla Khan" off of their 1998 album, Songs From a Moist Place
They don't have a website, but there's an old fan site here.  If anyone is interested in contacting them and buying a cd or a t-shirt, their email address is in the show, otherwise you can contact me at tbh@hedgehog.net
Podcast of the Podcast: Filmspotting, a terrific movie review programme, and the second podcast that I ever listened to.

Hello darlings, I made it all the way to number four without getting jaded!  Although I still am not organized enough to make notes before the show, and thus I managed to forget entirely about the Podcast of the Podcast!  Even though before starting recording, I edited the sound clip that I wanted to use and had it sitting there in plain sight. 

I never claimed to have a smooth, together, professional podcast.  And a good thing, too!

Mentioned in passing this week, Cast-On (not the Podcast of the Podcast, but certainly an upcoming Podcast of the Podcast!), The Lascivious Biddies (both an upcoming Artist of the Podcast and Podcast of the Podcast), 3 Fast, 3 Furious (episode two's Podcast of the Podcast) and Clever Little Pod (last week's Podcast of the Podcast).

Artist of the Podcast: Roy Zimmerman
Songs played: "Chicken Hawk", "America", "Workin' on an MBA", and "Jerry Falwell's God"
You can get Roy's albums, Comic Sutra, Homeland, Security, Peacenick, The Best of the Foremen, and (soon) the upcoming Faulty Intelligence at Roy's website.
Joan Manners runs a fan site for Roy here, and you can also join the mailing list.
Also, Roy podcasts out the occasional song, the feed is here.

Podcast of the Podcast: Bugger-all.

My third podcast, and I think I am getting into the swing of it a little bit!  I talk about Librivox (again!), Kara, The Lost Boys, the sweet feedback that I got from Coverville, my first pet fan, how the wonderful Karen Hanson designed my beautiful logo and I never thanked her because I am worst person who has ever lived, and this site is hosted by libsyn.com.

Artist of the podcast: Lindsay Smith 
Songs played: "I Don't Like Drinking", "Introduction", "The Revolution is Nigh", "Molly Brown", "One Fish Two Fish", "Thank You For Purchasing This CD"
Lindsay is appearing at the Georgia Renaissance Festival (NOT the Atlanta Renaissance Faire, as I kept calling it!)
And she will write a song for you!
You can buy her albums here, here and here!

Podcast of the podcast: Clever Little Pod, which is both clever and little!  Also, it is a podcast, so complete truth in advertising there.

Here we are, show the second!  And unlike show the first, rather than my sounding stuffy, I sniff about eighty times.  Also, I had the volume in my headphones too low, so there are an awful lot of popped p's and big blowy exhales.  So now that your expectations are nice and low, on to the podcast!

Because I didn't listen to this twenty times before uploading, I actually don't remember what I might have mentioned in passing.  Um, Librivox, I know I mentioned that, because I was explaining Understood Betsy...and you can email me at tbh@hedgehog.net or call me at 206-20-ACTOR and I can play your message on the podcast next week!

The artist of the podcast: Geoffrey Welchman
Songs played: "Pterodactyl", "Freddie's Lament", "Out on the Road" and "Just Around the Corner".

The podcast(s) of the podcast: 3 Fast, 3 Furious and What I Watched on TV Last Week!  Download!  Subscribe!  Actually, it's kind of hard to find the podcast on the What I Watched page, because it's all mixed up with the weblog, so you can find it more clearly here.

Hooray!  Hooray!  Podcast-o-rama!  Podcast-a-go-go!  Podcasting up the wazoo!

Seriously, I have been planning on starting a podcast for months and months, then I decided for sure that I wanted it to be in conjunction with my tenth journalversary.  Today, 5 May 2006, is the tenth anniversary of my online journal, Sweet as a Biscuit, aka "The Mighty Kymm - you'll not see nothing like" aka whatever the hell else I've been calling it over the past ten years.  It even used to be at hedgehog.net!

I actually recorded this podcast two weeks ago, because I just.  Couldn't.  Wait.  There will be a new one every Friday which will include a featured artist, a featured podcast, and me talking your ear off.  My original thought was that I'm an actor in NY, I'll talk about acting and tell funny stories, like  Betty in the Sky does about being a flight attendant, but I know me, it's not going to be nearly so organized as hers is.

Regular listeners of podcasts can skip this part, but here is a quick podcasting tutorial for perhaps my readers of Sweet as a Biscuit (currently in exile at livejournal, but soon to move back to the domain) who do not know from podcasting.  First of all, a podcast is a radio show recorded for the internet that you download onto your computer to listen to at your leisure, and, the name notwithstanding, you don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast, all you need is a computer.

You can download a podcast in three different ways, you can right click on the individual podcast link and download it, or you can subscribe via iTunes, or via another podcast catcher.  Personally, I prefer Juice to iTunes, and it will look for new episodes for you ands automatically download them to your computer.  I don't know how fast it will take for me to get listen in iTunes, but my rss feed is right here, and all you have to do is copy and paste it into Juice or something else.  Or just wait for iTunes to catch up.  Or right click!  And then listen!  And then tell me how much you liked it!  Or call me at 206-202-2867, (that's 206-20-ACTOR, pretty cool, eh?) and leave a voicemail.

In this, my first podcast, I talk about saying y'know all the damn time, tell the story of the Road to the Podcast, blame it all on John Scalzi, casually mention Comedy 4 Cast, CD Baby and The Chapin Sisters in passing, and talk about how I can talk without stopping until being hit with a tranquilizer dart.

The artist of the podcast: Jonathan Coulton
Songs played: " Skullcrusher Mountain", "Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance", " First of May" and "Code Monkey"
Fabulous t-shirts and merch available here
And don't forget Thing a Week

The podcast of the podcast: Coverville.  Unfortunately, there are no other links that I can put up for Coverville except for Coverville, but click it!  Download it!  Subscribe to it!  You won't be sorry.
