I harp on the fact that Thursday to Thursday flys by each week and we continue to pump out better shows after better shows. I have to give it up to all my guests that were at the virtual round table on Thursday night, because this one has so much laughter in it, that the show didn’t feel like it was ever going to stay on course. At one point, I said…”If this podcast were to get pulled over right now, it would get a DUI!” We had so much fun on the show and were actually simulcasted out on Weasel Radio this week. We will be looking for more syndication outlets in the coming weeks. If you want content and have listeners…we want to know. 

If you want to follow the show and be eligible to win the “Tweet of the Week”, follow Sound Check On Twitter by clicking the link. Weekly Prizes will be announced, but you have to follow the show and Twitter us to WIN!

I do want to let you know that the pre show was off the wall hysterical and if you really want the flavor of what happens behind the scenes, you really have to spend a night with us on Skype. Check the directions above, email with all the info that we need (so we can get to know you) and join this train called Sound Check. I am honored to present Episode 84. 

Enjoy,

CK

Wow…I keep thinking of what is happening on this show and I want to call this Episode “The Usual Suspects” because we were joined by an old time listener and a guest on the show, so the cast of characters was “back to the way it was” about 20-30 episodes ago. It was a good show that was marked by AIG, the economy, President Obama on Leno, and a lot of other topics to boot. 

I impress upon you to sign up for the email notifications for the show so you know when they are posted. I am trying to get them to you as quickly as possible, but as you can tell by listening to the show, a lot goes into the show, edit, mix, and production. As I say in the description, “not your average podcast, just way better than radio” and that is what I want to deliver. Enjoy Episode 83, and a special thank you to Allicette (www.blue7.com) for being on the show. :o )

I am amazed at so many things when it comes to this show, day in and day out. I have been looking at the stats and the locations that we are hitting and I want to thank EVERYONE from around the globe for listening in to the show. We are seeing a huge amount of people from France and England due to our awesome relationship with the band Televox. If you haven’t listened to Episode 81, check out the opening track “Lion in a Cage”, which rocked the socks off the listeners this week.

We were greeted this week by some great friends from NY that gave us their voices this week and also did what this show promotes, free speech. We heard from ThePete and his other half, Sierra and it was a great first show with them involved. As they can tell you from being on the show LIVE, it is an experience that has to be heard. The final cut and what happens in the virtual studio is hysterical, comedic, and down right funny. (call it what you will). Big thanks to them for being there, as well as Chaz, Brett, and Paul Swansen. If you want to join the show to listen to the live recording, you can. If you want to take part in the show, use the email address above, or hit me up on Twitter and let’s talk. I hope you enjoy the show, it is one of the best that we (I) have produced and I am proud to present “What, am I not being heard?” Episode 82 of Sound Check…

  • Bernie Madoff, the effects of this and an interesting question is posed.
  • Do you trust the government? We weigh in on wether the government, President Obama and the administration can be trusted. Will the administration go down because of one person? Find out what we think. (Great topic and conversation)
  • ThePete talks a little about Stilmulus Checks in 2009
  • Discussion on the 2 shootings that killed multiple people in the US and in Germany. Will the economy play a part in more people taking themselves out? Find out what we have to say about it.
  • We are joined by Chaz, who was sick and couldn’t stay away from Sound Check. We discuss our tech podcast (Gathering Geeks) that was recorded this week and the title of the show. Get well!!
  • WIME=What’s in my Email? (this week) and also a whole bunch of talk about Twitter, Social Media, SXSW, and followers and the “noise” Twitter followers can create.
  • Tech-www.Fliggo.com – Your very own YouTube, The new Apple Shuffle and the pro’s and cons with the new device from Apple, Tablet Talk and what does ThePete think that Apple will do and will they stay out of the Netbook realm? Also, U2 decides on Blackberry for  their sponsor for the upcoming tour. Did they snub Apple after the release of the U2 Edition Ipod or bury their vested interest from Elevation Partners in the sand and not support Palm when they need it most to have a successful launch of the upcoming Palm Pre? Listen in and find out. 
  • U2 and the “stunt” on Letterman and now Prince will be doing consecutive nights on Leno…Are we seeing the Ed Sullivan era all over again? Has major artist turned to marketing and ditched the notion of gold ablums for sell out stadiums? Ha…got you thinking!
  • The FREE WATCHMEN COMIC BOOK
  • Book vs. Movie? Which do you like to do first and why? Sierra let’s know what she does and why!
  • Odd News – 1 Student, 2 Teachers….and neither of the teachers knew that he was a player. Talking about getting some ass..at 13 with 2 teachers at the same time and THEY DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING!!!
  • Additonal Links for the show as mentioned: AOL Closes China Office (The Business Insider) and Guarding the Border, straight from your living room! (CNN)

This was a great show that featured great segments, lots of participation, and some great laughter as well. If you haven’t been on the show, or heard this piece of work in action, give us a shot, bring a topic to the floor and be heard. Thanks for listening and I will see you on the set of Sound Check on March 19th at 9:05 on Skype!

Info for Episode 82

March 2nd, 2009 by CK

Episode 82 will be pushed back to Thursday March 12, 2009 due to a cold that is creeping up. I am sure that this voice couldn’t do 2+ hours of straight talk…

I will fill the void with other posts between now and the 12th and also look for Episode 81 to land here shortly. 

In keeping with the media thing, check out my Photoblog, The Camera Eye where I have been posting a lot of my pictures. 

Talk soon (I hope),
