An after derby podcast and I'm under the influence of a muscle relaxer.  Dr Gay uses the f-word.  No, not that one, but it gets used a lot too.

special interview with Lindsay Smellen.

Labels: podcast, schmoovecast

This has been a banner week for podcasts. With the new job I wasn't sure I'd be able to devote the time to listening tha tI had in the past, but it seems that they do not mind my slavish devotion to the ipod! I'm way behind so take that into consideration here.

In what is purely coincidence, I heard two separate pieces with Howard Dully, a man who had a trans-orbital lobotomy given by Dr Freeman himself. It's worth a listen for sure.

From NPR's Driveway Moments: "My Lobotomy": Howard Dully's Journey.

PRI's To The Best of Our Knowledge "Singular Brains." I suggest you listen to the full show. Not only is there a segment with Dully (he discusses the story above), but an interview with John Elder Robison who wrote a memoir about life with Asperger's. Robison is also the older brother of professional memoirist Augusten Burroughs. Oh, and Oliver Sacks is always interesting. Rock on.

The Bat Segundo Show: Chip Kidd. Firstly, Bat Segundo is one of my favorite podcasts. Secondly, I love Chip Kidd. Later on I'm going to the library to pick up The Learners, which I've been eagerly anticipating since I first heard of it. I recommend that you subscribe to this one; Ed's a fantastic interviewer.

Bob Edwards Weekend: interview with George Romero. Ok, I had no idea that this was available via podcast (I'm too cheap to spring for XM). I think that Bob got a bit of a raw deal from NPR so I'm glad that this is available to us civillians. you can listen to the entire podcast, but the Romero interview really grabbed me. Especially his involvement with Fred Rogers. You're going to have to find this one on the web site; the first link I provided made itunes pick this up as a podcast.

Let me take a minute and mention something I forgot about the previous day. When they advertised this experience one of the perqs was "meals provided." I thought this meant all meals. Not so much. I guess SOME meals provided, I should've read the fine print. On 1/1 we were responsible for our own breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was assumed that the campaigns would feed us during our volunteering on the first but no, this was not the case. I had the foresight to take a bag of goldfish and some mini 3 Musketeers to help out.

So let's start with 1/2. Breakfast was provided! It was actually pretty good--eggs, bacon, fruit, pastries. Everyone would be happy. I sat with a crowd of folks including Enthusiasm, a young man I wanted to slap the crap out of that morning. Between him and the skinny kid I shared a seat with on the bus I fear for the future.

I'm going to say a few things about this skinny bus mate. Let's call him Jaded. Kid had a nice MacBook Pro. He had an iPod Touch. He gets a phone call at some point and discussed his christmas which was "underwhelming. actually pretty lackluster." I guess life must be hard when you're that jaded before you can even drink alcohol. Oh, to be an undergrad again!

Organizer is not happy with some of the events that took place at our volunteer opportunity. She starts making phone calls and meanwhile we get on the bus with an uncertain future. We had heard rumor that he was going to put in an appearance at a call center so we headed over there to see what we could do. The person who greeted us was thoroughly confused. Of course they had no phones for us. They were being used by IOWANS to call other IOWANS. Every four years Iowans get the nation's focus and they are absolutely full of themselves during this time. We were told that no, they had no campaign materials and we should go online for that sort of thing. We left a little disgusted.

Some of the Obama folks agree to go to other campaigns, the rest of us wait to see what else there is to do. As people get dropped off Organizer finds out about an appearance Obama is making in a town a scant 90 minutes away. We get back to the hotel and decide to take a couple of rental cars to the event in Coralville.

The ride was uneventful. The backseat was packed with the Trouble Twins and Tagalong. The Trouble Twins were chronically late--more on them later. Tagalong was all right but seemed to be easily swayed by the Twins. The driver, Casino, tried to engage them in conversation but they were dismissive. I enjoyed talking to Casino as I could relate to her a little better. She was full time staff in the department that sponsored the trip and was also a part-time student. In fact, she gave me some great information about a non-trad scholarship for which my mother is going to apply. I kind of became her shadow over the next couple of days.



Eventually we're in Coralville. It wasn't easy as Organizer gave us some crappy directions. We ended up in the middle of a freakin neighborhood with the Marriott nowhere nearby! Turns out these weren't directions to the hotel itself, they were directions just generally to Coralville. We did make it to the hotel but were late. There was no room in the ballroom so we tried to stand at the press entrance (as seen above). We saw his hand and heard a little of his speech but were eventually shooed away to one of the overflow rooms.



After his speech he came to the overflow rooms! I got to shake his hand! A few of us got our books signed! It was great--the trip was definitely looking up and I wasn't in a mad dash to get home anymore. The ride home was a little more fun...the Twins and Tag were more involved in the conversation. Casino and I really wanted to stop at the Casino but after Organizer's admonition that the rental cars were only for official trip work we decided against it. Sigh.

Portable Media Expo? Podcast Expo? New Media Expo? A rose by any other name would be just as tedious.

Not entirely tedious; I learned a lot that will help at work with our new podcast. I got some free goodies. I saw some semi-famous faces.

I saw a live recording of The Radio Adventures of Dr Floyd which was lots of fun! Frank Conniff was there as one of the guest stars, so I did a little tiny bit of geeking out. I didn't actually meet him, but I did get to see the show and loved it. I stuck around for a hilarious taping of Technorama; I was a contestant on their game show and won a cool prize. Perhaps they will post the video soon. If not, I'll tell more. Well, what there is to tell--I was distracted by my need to pee and thought I was going to end up having a Fergie moment.

I spotted Dawn, Drew, Nick Starr, and Adam Curry standing around at an evening event. I didn't chat with any of them, but from afar that Dawn has some gorgeous skin. I spotted a few other folks I won't name here, and I probably saw quite a few folks who I wouldn't recognize by face but because they weren't wearing a clearly visible badge or a shirt advertising their show I didn't recognize them.

I did have a minor issue at a social event over the weekend. There is a podcast I love, I've recommended it, and I was in close proximity to this podcaster. I kind of recognized the podcaster and sneaked a look at the badge. Podcaster saw me do this and gave me a "yeah, bitch, it's me" kind of smirk. You know, the kind of look you get from someone who's really full of him/herself? Like Podcaster was too good to talk to a commoner such as myself. I really wanted to talk to Podcaster since it's one of my favorite shows, but no, I was really put off. This has kind of soured me on Podcaster. Podcaster's shows are lined up in my ipod, and I really have no desire to listen to them.

One morning over an overpriced breakfast I heard a familiar NPR voice at a nearby table. Now THIS is what should happen at a podcasting conference--recognizing the voice before the face. No, it wasn't Bob Edwards. You would've seen the news reports if it had been.

I'm glad I went, but I was also glad to leave. I had a layover in Las Vegas and did a tiny bit of bad-odds gambling at the airport slots. the wonderful Kelly Jo picked me up in the wee hours and drove me home.

Next year in Vegas.
