32:40 | 39:37 | 31:06 | 8:31 hours of podsuming… that’s not right. Humph. I am pretty sure I didn’t listen to more than 6 hours of podcasts today, so I must have done something different/wrong when I collected my stats.

The 21st in ‘Suming

  1. Dead Robots’ Society Episode 113 – The Plot Is The Thing – My take away from this was: Revision is writing. It seemed like the pantsers and the plotters both needed to “catch-up” on the other half of the character/plot equation during the revision stage. In fact, at this point, I think it has been said often enough that I am beginning to wonder just how much of writing can be reduced to these type of truisms?
  2. Sword & Laser Interview with Daniel Suarez – The S&L Podcast #027 – Saurez sounds fun. I would follow him on twitter, if he were there.
  3. Agony 804: Jeremy Lassen Looks to the Future
  4. Agony 805: Poetry Santa Cruz — Adrienne Rich Reads Capitola Book Cafe – Here I discover that I do not like listening to poetry. I’m not very surprised at this, but it is slightly disappointing.
  5. Agony Poetry Santa Cruz — James Scully Reads at Capitola Book Cafe
  6. EP233: Union Dues – The Threnody of Johnny Toruko – I liked this story. It built up very nicely and left a twist to my gut at the end.
  7. ClarkesWorld Herding Vegetable Sheep by Ekaterina Sedia (audio)
  8. The Road to Magical Happy Greatness Episode 2: Caution: Southern Girl Rambling
  9. DarkCompass 5×05 Rattlin Netlabels
  10. The Empress Sword Episode 00 – Preview – PJ! w00t!
  11. Tor.com Story Podcast 005 – “The Starship Mechanic” and “Looking For Truth In the Wild Blue Yonder” by Ken Scholes and Jay Lake – Both stories are quite good, but my favorite part was when I realized they were referencing each other and other authors.
  12. Out of the Coffin Episode #55 – Happy Second Podcast Anniversary!
  13. The History of Rome 80- Optimus Trajan – I think I want to be Optimus Scry.
  14. Unquiet Desperation From the Vault: Interview with Jonathan Coulton – The Hutch is correct. This was an excellent interview.
  15. Touching the Toucher’s Touched Monolith Episode 32 – Sixth Sense from TED – I like be talked about. I’ll make you a deal. You talk about me and I’ll actually make use of iTunes long enough to leave a rating. (And then I’ll scurry back to ZiePod.) M’kay?
  16. Jack Mangans Deadpan #151: Duel of the Fates Season 3 Finale
  17. Dave’s Psychology 1107 (Winter 2010) – Cognition and Language 02 and Intelligence 01

Podsuming for the 14th

  1. Writing Excuses 21: Humor
  2. Indiana Jim Adventure #22b – Spoiler-ific Review of Star Trek – Jim liked it a bit more than I did, but then, I never like the original series all that much. Spock was my favorite from back then and the same holds true for now. I couldn’t care less for Sulu and Kirk, but I really enjoyed all the other characters and performances.
  3. Touching the Monolith Episode 29: Geekrismas or Done With The Dildo – Interesting possible definition of geek toys: if one person can say “That’s stupid” and another person responds with, “I know! I have to have it!” then it’s a geek toy.
  4. Fourcast Podcast We are all made of stars – Ep. 10
  5. The Dreamer’s Thread episode 16
  6. An H.P. Lovecraft Christmas – Poem Four
  7. An H.P. Lovecraft Christmas – Poem Three
  8. H.P. Podcraft Episode 23 – The Music of Erich Zann – This may be my favorite story so far. It hints and implies but never says what is happening.
  9. Dan Carlin Hardcore History Show 31 – (BLITZ) Suffer the Children – Doesn’t quite make my head spin, but it does bring up a lot of interesting points.
  10. Tale Chasing Episode 30 – Interview with Agent Laurie McLean – I see why Tee and Pip are so enamored of Laurie. She seems to be full of the hard answers that I like. And I respect her little dig at Jordan, while wincing at the possible backlash.
  11. Variant Frequencies The Failed Cities: Hath a Darkness 04 – Constable Klimenko
  12. Litopia After Dark 18 Holes

I was going to listen to the first half of the latest Second Shift, but it is overly compressed and essentially broken. I’ll have to try a new download, but I don’t have much hope.
