Georgia Podcast Network

Halfway into February, it's time for our first talkie of 2008. This screenshot should give you an idea of what to expect:

Here's a little more detail:

• We play two voicemail messages from Nobilis. In the second one, he asks a question, and we answer.
• Why the heck haven't you people called in your creepy bug/snake stories?
• We went to Trapeze last night and I was in the poorly-conceived (or at least poorly-executed) "Strippers Ball," for a minute at least.
• Talk of the Strippers Ball leads to a tangent about sex clubs in theory vs. practice, and annoying drunk people.
• Can anyone give us a good, clear description of how delegates work in the Presidential election?
• Thoughts on social media conferences in general, and a bit on PodCamp Nashville specifically
• Sex 2.0 updates, and promo

We love voicemail! Call us at 678.389.9441. Add me as a Twitter friend here, and Rusty here. E-mail us at info@gapodcastnetwork.com.

We planned (a word I'm using very loosely here) for this to be a live Skypecast where we could have callers, but apparently Skypecasts don't work so well for Mac users. They sure as hell didn't work for us:

If you have better ideas for good ways to do live broadcasts with callers, please leave them here in the comments, email them to rusty@gapodcastnetwork.com or leave them on our voicemail at 678.389.9441. NowLive, Live365, Talkshoe, BlogTalkRadio, etc. are nice for many uses, but we're not interested in their file hosting and would like better sound quality than most of them can offer. Getting a Shoutcast/Icecast stream comes to mind, but damn, it seems like we should be able to do this with VOIP somehow.

Onward and downward...

After we talk about the Skypecasting debacle, topics included:

• Amber's birthday and why she grew up resenting Halloween
• How Facebook is awesome when it's your birthday, how LinkedIn sucks, with a transition into a discussion of Google's new OpenSocial platform. I spend about five minutes talking out of my ass about OpenSocial (which I just noticed abbreviates as O.S., like "operating system" ... very clever Google, very clever indeed).
• Following up on a previous podcast about Atlanta sex clubs, we recall our experience at Little Wings of Atlanta, the third we've been to (if you actually count Club Venus, which I'm tempted not to).
• Commentary about disproportionate ratios in sex fantasies where we earn our Explicit label in iTunes
• A little about the recent GA Politics Podcast, which we enjoyed thoroughly.
• Announcements about the Atlanta Social Media Mixer on Nov. 13 and the Atlanta Photography Exhibit on Nov 23

In this episode, Amber and I review the only two Atlanta swinger's clubs (that we know of), Club Venus and Trapeze. We also give a little background on how sex clubs work.

There's a lengthy montage at the beginning that was basically me just having fun with Soundtrack, so skip to about three minutes in if you're anxious to get to the reviews.

And please send us voicemail at (678) 389-9441. We particularly would like to know about people's experiences with Club Venus, as we only went there once, but also welcome all other questions and comments.
