For the second installment of the Sub-Optimal Beer podcast, Thomas, James, Garrett, Rusty Seth, and myself gathered at the Highlander for the battle of the heavyweights. MORE LIKE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS, AM I RIGHT? Sigh. There aren't really any surprises in here regarding either of these two beers, but it is 25 worthwhile minutes of spirited, entertaining banter at the expense of a two large multi-national conglomerates. Also, James coins what could be a new name for the podcast around the 23:42 mark.

This is the fourth and final Cast Podcast for A Midsummer Night's Dream. Actors are so busy and it is difficult to keep them in one place long enough to share a few words. And so, in this Cast Podcast, we offer a little insight into the thoughts and motivations of two mighty Tinkers and a couple best described as Forces of Nature.

This cast podcast features ...

Larry, Jr

Music for this podcast is a track called "It Was 1972" by Lasswell, an artist on CCMixter.org (available via Creative Commons). Given that we set our Midsummer in 1973, it just seemed appropriate.

Finally, on the eve of auditions for our next show, we're posting our last Cast Podcast for Midsummer. And even then, there were a handful of very talented actors who slipped through our grasp without recording their own contribution! But rest assured that we couldn't have done our original show without the talented efforts of Sherry, Julia and Scott. We'd also like to thank Patrick, Elizabeth and Wendy for stepping in for our re-staging of Midsummer in Lawrenceville.

Also ... auditions for our next production, Romeo and Juliet (our first tragedy!), are scheduled for tomorrow! For more information, please check out the R&J audition page.

This is the second part of my two-part interview with Bobby Blackwolf, host of The Bobby Blackwolf Show. You can listen to the first part here.

We discuss the Atlanta gaming industry, the politics of the gaming industry, and other topics. This is part of our Meet Your Affiliates series.

Recorded to DAT at the 26th Annual Boogie, in N Georgia... until we were abruptly cut off by a brewing thunderstorm!

Set two from our June 08 House Concert. Onward and outward!

Set number 1A from our June 08 House Concert (yeah - part of the first set, but we paused long enough for a clean edit!

The first set from our June 08 House Concert. Shimmery! Slippery!

In this episode I speak with Bobby Blackwolf, host of The Bobby Blackwolf Show. It's the first in what we hope will be a series of several more Meet Your Affiliates interviews over the next few months with Georgia Podcast Network affiliates.

The interview is broken into two parts, of which this is the first. Here we discuss the history behind Bobby's show, the Nintendo Wii, our shared esteem for Super Mario Bros. 2, and a few other topics.

In the second part, which is posted here, we mostly talk about the Atlanta game industry and the politics of gaming.

This interview was recorded at Charis Books and More, before a screening of Bailey Barash's new documentary, The AIDS Chronicles - Here to Represent. Bailey is an Atlanta native who spent 19 years at CNN before starting her own production company. The AIDS Chronicles is the result of almost five years of work documenting the impact of HIV/AIDS on the urban black community in Atlanta.

Bailey and I discussed media representation of AIDS, its impact on Atlanta in contrast to other areas of the country, some of the challenges of making a documentary about a sensitive subject matter, and more. (I feel I should apologize to all you listeners for saying "uh-huh" so much in this interview. I usually don't do that!)

The film, by the way, is amazing. It deserves all the accolades it's receiving and many more. Don't pass up the opportunity to see it!
