Heeeee's baaaack..... yes friends, ScottyJ has entered the spiderhole and visited for a week. He also ended up on three podcasts in a week- I think that's a record! He did find time to talk a little politics with me, too. :-) 

We couldn't decide on a topic, so we asked Twitter and Facebook friends. The show is several of the responses.

LONG show- and hour and 23 minutes. I debated splitting it into two shows, then decided if you need a break, you can pause the show and finish at a later date! Make sure you hear challenge I propose to Scott at the end! (around an hour in if you'd like to skip ahead)

-Opening: one stoned Kermit
-Scott makes the podcast guest circuit:
  -Love Long and Prosper
  -A Geek and His Wife
-So what are we gonna talk about?
-Should public teachers share their faith affiliation?
-In hard economic times, are we more inclined to give, or keep what we have for our own?
-Yes, we're going to talk about Sarah Palin. Our apologies.
- Should the President bow to other world leaders?
-Hangin' your laundry... what's the problem?
-HOA's... communism or socialism?
-What would be our ideal political system?
-ScottyJ gets a turkey challenge!

-Arizona is sort of like Sarah Palin. Nice to look at, but I can't stand her politics.
-Volunteering for the United Way
-This is the Phoenix Link for Project Homeless Connect, but I'm sure through the United Way site you can find others in your area.
-Song: Lee Coulter, I Would Love
-Sarah Silverman solves world hunger.
-Last episode I yelled at Republicans. Now it's the Democrats turn.
-Why do Dems have to behave exactly like Republicans?
-Glenn Greenwald blog post 1

A month! No, I have not pod-faded into the ether... but the big thing keeping me from podcasting was a really bad cold killing my voice and my nose for almost 3 weeks!

So I'm back, and grabbed my partner in crime Dave Tobkin across the internets for a chat.  Yeah, it's all one big liberal whine in this one, so that's your warning. ;-)  There has been so much craziness about Obama and what he *could* do to the country, we both needed to vent and ask one big question: Why is it ok when THEY do it?


-Opening: What the hell is that???
-Dave joins me to help me get a show out faster
-Protests. You won't hear a sound cannon at a tea party. Why is that?
-Singing songs to a President is just part of the job.
-Facebook poll asking about killing Obama, or a "Taking Back America" conference. What is truly more dangerous?
-Racism, there is truth in what Carter said.
-There is truth in everything, including conspiracy theories
-Dani reads a book

Part 3, also part 2 I guess of weeding through the health care reform issue. Also the last episode that will be completely focused on the topic. At least for now. ;-)

*Opening: Senator John McCain and his town hall peeps
*THIS mom can tell her daughter they can run for President.
*Two recent health care polls:
  - People are falling for the myths of reform
  - Yet, a majority want everyone to have some sort of health care coverage
*Bill Moyers on Real Time w/Bill Maher
*Politifact and their awesome Truth-O-Meter
*What will happen if this health care coverage bill passes?
  - How about nothing?
  - Extra consumer protections
*Systemic changes
*It's a question of morals, and ethics, and if that was the focus, the answer would be simple.
*Linda Peeno testimony before Congress on how she saved millions for insurance companies at the expense of American's health.

Lazy show notes... will fill in the blanks later today or this evening!

Update: Fillin' in the blanks:

- Matt Taibbi talks about his new article on health care in Rolling Stone Magazine
- who knew "Hitler" was a buzz word?
- headlines from Democracy Now
- More from Matt
- Feedback:
 - Nobilis gives me another angle
 - Michael thinks any sort of real reform just isn't going to happen
- SO glad it's not my job to read that damn bill
- Balanced sites for health care information:
 - Fact Check
 - Politifact
- Some of the lies floating around:
 - covering abortions
 - Death panels
- Bill Maher has some thoughts about Sarah Palin and Facebook
- More falsehoods, like health care for illegal immigrants
- and once more from Matt, and why he thinks this bill won't work

I cut this off halfway through, but there is plenty more to talk about and will be up within the next week. Thanks for listening!

The show no one's been waiting for!  Since the goal of Valentine's Day is sex, it's the perfect time to talk about it. Scotty J returns to chat it up, and we attempt to figure out why the hell the US is so repressed and afraid of something that is as commonplace as food.

Warning: Listening to this episode could cause blindness and hairy palms. I also cannot express just how NOT worksafe this show is. If you are offended by just about anything regarding sex, I'd skip this one.  As a matter of fact, if you just plain get offended easily, I'd skip it.

Oh yeah, you're all gonna listen. ;-)

An unexpected month between shows, apparently the effectiveness of a woman president should be questioned, why debates are practically pointless in an internet-world, not to mention that the media is the biggest violator of the first amendment.  2007?

-Aaron from The Big Show

-Iraq (which somehow led to urban sprawl)
-Government Accountability
-Do we even have a voice anymore?

Two years after Hurricane Katrina broke down levies which destroyed New Orleans, there still has not been significant progress made.  What's the hold up? Pick an issue. People today still argue about who's to blame for all the mishaps during and after.  This episode tries to put the timeline in perspective.

It all began on this day, August 26 2005, when federal assistance was first requested by all of the gulf coast states.

Hey podcatchers, plenty of great links on the shownotes page!  www.truthseekerscast.com

Because it’s so close to Christmas, I shook up the format for this episode a bit.  Since I began the podcast in March, this is my first holiday of podcasting- I hope everyone enjoys it!

I apologize for the horrendous audio quality.  I have audio from my travels to Boston the first week of December- and how they were halted halfway through for a day in Chicago. Then the interview with Bruce is not the best quality, though with all of it I tried to clean it up the best I can.  (Note to Santa: iRiver? Please?  I think I’ve been good, though don’t talk to _______ and ______, and most certainly not _______, - ok?)

Here’s the rundown:

-Intro: Mostly News

-Promo: Public Nuisance Radio

-Live from Chicago, and the truth about being incoherent at 5 in the morning.

- Song: Re-gifting for the holidays

-Chicago part two: Time flies when you’re listening to a podcast

-Deep thought about computer over-abundance

-Please don’t mace him!

-watch lists and no fly lists and the government, oh my!

-will she ever leave the Windy City?

- Song: Sick of Christmas (sung by Santa)

-Podcast Pickle, and how awesome the number 57 is.

-last installment of my interview with Bruce Carter.  Still chock full of great discussion.  We cover Race, class, and my love/hate relationship with Lou Dobbs, the sham war on terror, and sham Democrats who still acknowledge a War on Terror, and tons more!

(for those who might want to jump ahead (but really, who would want to?), the interview portion is 35 minutes)

-Don’t forget that voicemail line!  206-350-0669

-Final Song: Sleigh Ride by the Hipcola

All songs can be found on the podsafe music network

Merry Christmas!!  See you in 2007!

Episode #17:

Here it is Seekers- I take you on my voting-journey where I spew hate towards the two men who kept me up WAY too long the night before, as well as hate for the Kia Sedona, and the weather in November. So many people called in to tell me their voting experiences, and I play them all throughout the show.  It was all too interesting not to play!  Here’s the rundown:

- Tee Morris co-author of Podcasting for Dummies, and host of The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy says VOTE!

-Charles from Mostly News talks voting in Texas

-I rant while putting gas in my van

-- one of the men I curse

--and here’s the other one

-Charles gets cut off

-Advice on finding your polling place… dammit

-Jake and Chris from Just Not Right talk about being the youngest voters in Utah

-So I vote- how very, uh…*yawn*- but the Bible quotes were nice!

-Pickle-bumping

-My last observation on the whole thing, and can someone get me a Jumbo Jack with Cheese?

-Sherri (whom I used to work with back in my legal assistant days) from Chandler AZ

-Jamie and Joe from Afterhell join me for a quick chat from up in OR

-Karen from Kalifornia, from, well... California!

-Melodee (always makes me smile when family calls in!) from NYC

-Omar (again, love that family!) from San Diego

-I talk about Tee Morris some more, and the guilt trip I took him on

-Let’s throw in a Deep Thought

-So are we a liberal nation or not?

-Aaron from The Big Show- he’s simply fabulous!

-what I think of the President’s statement about the election

-Kick it!  Mp3’s killed the radio star.  Cruisebox takes us out this time. Do I play the clean or explicit version?

Episode #14

A full-size episode to keep you entertained while I head out of town for a week.  But it's worth a listen, because I get a little change of perspective on that issue of mine that keeps popping up out of nowhere, smoking.

As usual, it takes a Canadian to get me to think.  No, not that Canadian.

Then Dave and I finish our talk from like, two weeks ago. We cover alot of good ground I think.
-unlikely news sources
-gas prices go down, therefore President Bush must totally rock!
-Insanefilms.com and some disturbing video. Military bombings set to death metal.
-Is Osama fab today?
-Healthcare- right or privilege?
-Protecting society as a whole
-Rich is overrated.

(Psst!  Hey you podcatchers!  Come to http://audioaddict.libsyn.com and see all the cool linkage in the show notes!)

Well, here I am again.  Please don't get used to the consistancy.  Though I have been more organized with my time lately, so who knows.  Still, as soon as I say it will be every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks, it will be a month before I get another show out.  Hope you are all enjoying the ride right now, at any rate.

Katrina?  Who's Katrina?  That seems to be the attitude right now as we head into the 5th anniversary of 9/11.  Oh yes, I had something to say about it...
Then a special guest with his own "Deep Thoughts"... and the beginning of a new segment.

Also, I have a belated Happy Labor Day for you, followed by the final installment of my talk with Jack. (I figure we are ALL on first-name basis by now!)  ;-)

Guess what?  I got my very first voicemail!!  I am so overcome with emotion, I play it for you.

A year ago Hurricane Katrina became the biggest natural disaster ever to hit the United States. 
A new documentary is out by Spike Lee about Katrina, and after watching, I had a few things to say.

Had so much to say I even skipped the headlines this time, but I have a challenge out there for you...
Also, part two of my chat with Jack Ward about ideas, and Ideas the radio show.  I need to apologize because this recording suddenly became REALLY crappy, and no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of it.

All of this recorded during an early morning thunderstorm, so I have background music!

Speaking of music, stick around for this week's tune... it's orally satisfying...

Oh dear me.  Been a couple weeks, eh?  Well, I've returned, and am just chock-full of Back-to-School and Canadian goodness.

So much Canadian goodness, I had to change the title of the episode!  But you'll hear more about (aboot?) that when you listen.  There's lots of different stuff in this episode, and I decided there was so much I would give times to where things begin during the show, in case you wanna skip through.

But I know, y'all would NEVER do that to this legend in her own mind! It's best to hear her all the way through, especially because she's been experimenting with her editing/sound mixing skills... please tell me what you think!

Oh what a show!  First I hear an amazing episode of a podcast at the gym that nearly causes me to fall off my stairmaster. What listening DID do is get me to race home, and change my entire intro and promo to this podcast. (which I will definitely use for the next episode- but this podcast was great and it was one of those instant inspiration things!)

Then, the first of my two-part interview with my first conservative guest.  It was such a great interview, I had to split it because we chatted so long!  This is also my first time stepping out of my normal comfy zone of network friends.... and ya know I didn't do half bad. ;-)

Enjoy- and please tell me what you think any of the topics discussed, or my charming interview skills...

Another long delay... and then an unlikely source kicks me in the rump and gets me moving.  My first solo podcast-- yikes!  Can she handle it all by her lonesome?

I leave it to the Truth-Seeking jury...

Was not feeling my groove this episode.. but I managed to get my s**t together.  Panel didn't quite come together either, so I conned my dear partner in political crime to chat with me once again about the state of our Union (as in the United States, not Dave and I personally!)

Word of caution!  I can't believe I have to stick a disclaimer on this one, but ohhhhhh do I ever! If you've got a problem with talking about self love bluntly, this episode is not for you! (Boy, that should get ya to listen!)
