Georgia Podcast Network

In our second video episode, we bring the camera along with us on one of our road trips and point out some things you can look for while traveling through Southern towns. This trip took us through Middle Georgia, including Columbus, Thomaston, Warm Springs and Greenville along with a few others that didn't make it into the video due to space considerations.

We love voicemail! If you know of anything else people should look for when traveling to Southern towns (there are a few we know of we didn't get time to capture for the video, like masonic lodges and terrazos), call us at 678.389.9441. Chances are excellent we'll include your thoughts in our next talkie, which as of now will be podcast-after-next.

We've just returned from Balticon; in this talkie, we discuss our experience there (and a few other topics).

Some more detailed notes:

• Another voicemail from Nobilis. He is podcast voicemail Jesus.
• Answers to questions sent via Twitter.
• Thoughts on the "Don't Be That Guy" session at Balticon - the good, the bad, the ugly, the poorly planned, the psychosomatic reaction inducing.
• Here are a few links about Nice Guys™:
  • Nice Guys We Can Do Without
  • How to be a Real Nice Guy
  • The Nice Guy That Wasn't
  • Not specifically Nice Guy™ focused, but very relevant: An Open Letter to Geeky Guys
• We offer a few suggestions for next year's Balticon, including an idea for a panel.
• Rusty's review of Magical Clothes.
• We're going on a road trip to Columbus, GA next weekend. What should we do there?

If you were at Balticon (or even if you weren't!) please share your thoughts in the comments, or call 678-389-9441 to leave us a voicemail.

We recorded this talkie on the road while staying at the Brady Inn in Madison, Georgia. Topics discussed include, but are not limited to:

• Places we stopped on the first day of our road trip: Social Circle, Greensboro, Eatonton, Madison
• Question from Nobilis via Twitter: will pole dancing become an accepted art form by the year 2040?
• Ruminating on the permanence of our records: will there be any trace of us in a couple of hundred years?
• Should I buy an iPod Touch or an iPhone? We received several responses on Twitter. (postmortem: I almost bought an iPod Touch before I found out I could get an iPhone without messing with our cell phone plan, so I ordered an iPhone)

In which our heroes do a tiny bit of time travel (can you spot the clever edit?), concluding their adventures out of Athens with Jared's recounting of his 30th birthday adventures in Clarksdale, Mississippi, which Hillary had not previously heard about in depth.

In which the trip to various states that involve the Mississippi River is expanded upon, mostly concerning a visit to Oxford, Mississippi, including Willie Faulkner's digs, but also involving more Memphisiana, such as the Peabody Hotel, Beale Street, and the legendary Sun Studios.

In this episode, Amber and I interview three employees from WKRN, a local television station in Nashville, Tenn. Back in February, the station was dwelling in the ratings cellar and underwent a staff restructuring. Instead of having separate reporters and cameramen, everyone was trained as a VJ, or video journalist.

Joining us to explain how that restructuring is going were:

• WKRN.com Producer Christian Grantham, whose self-titled blog you can read here
• WKRN Political Blogger Adam Kleinheider, whom you can read at Volunteer Voters
• WKRN Web Producer Heather Emmons

In which the tags above pretty much convey the thrust of this first in a series of three podcasts, all recorded in one night, shortly after Team Brown's return from what could qualify as an actual vacation. Amber and Rusty aren't the only ones who can go to Tennessee.

Music by Geoff Reacher and Titans of Filth.
