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.

Here is Chapter 3 of Betsy.  There isn't a lot to say other than that! 

If you are interested in audio books, the two first complete ones that I have participated in for Librivox are available for download, The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper and A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Also, I participated in last week's Weekly Poetry Project, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth.

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.

Hello you audio book fans, and I know there's a few of you out there: this is for you, and just for you, because I care.  What will happen to Betsy next?

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.

Hey there, I know that my second podcast is due tomorrow, but I thought that I would do something extra.

I record audio books for LibriVox (and so can you, if you want to!) and I am currently doing a solo project of Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield.  I recorded chapter one last week, and I am going to do a chapter a week minus the two weeks that I am working the French, so why not put them up here?  They won't be to everyone's taste, but people who like being read to and like children's books should enjoy it.

So here is Chapter One, and thanks to Betsie, from whom I snagged the Librivox image.

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.
