Mountain Air, Drunken Revelry, Babes, and Radio
Well, I’m gearing up for nearly a week away from home. At the buttcrack of dawn Friday, I leave my house, drive 90 minutes to the Orlando airport, and then catch a 6:45am flight to Albuquerque, NM, with a brief layover in Dallas/Ft. Worth (my old stomping grounds).
Renting a car once I hit NM, then driving to Santa Fe for TequilaCon to hang with some of my favorite people in the world. Can’t wait.
I’m also quite jazzed because after all the drunken revelry is over, I’ll (eventually) check out of the Santa Fe Hilton on Sunday and drive 4+ hours south to Alamogordo, my even older stomping grounds. That’s where I graduated high school. I’ll be hanging out there for a few days before coming back home, seeing people I’ve known for decades.
Course, before all that, I need to do mounds and mounds of laundry, but still.
And yes, even though I’ll have to get up and leave my house around 4:00 am Friday morning, six hours before that will be another episode of SecondHand Radio!
Look at the Babe Lineup on Thursday night’s show! It’s going to be TWO guests instead of one. Gingersnaps and her talk-show host buddy, Pamela!
Ginger is my Internet girlfriend (or so I fantasize) and Pamela Furr is apparently a hard-core hot conservative talk show host. Who knows WHAT will happen in an hour of free-flowing conversation? Politics? Religion? Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Sorry, I got a little excited after seeing the Ghostbusters video game trailer for the Wii, coming in a few months.
If you’re not already, follow @GingerSnaps and @PamelaFurr on Twitter and prepare for a fun Thursday night.

I think I was late getting to the Podcast rally. Now that I have my iPhone/iPod, I’ve been making time for more podcasts in recent months. Thought I’d throw together a listing of some of my fave podcasts, complete with links to iTunes.
Shameless Plug
Clearly, the best podcast you can subscribe to is this little show called SecondHand Radio. Yeah, OK, it’s my show. I have a different guest each week and it’s an hour of fun conversation about anything and everything. The show is customized for each guest and there’s no set topic, but I think it’s entertaining to listen to.
Just last night, I had Karl Erikson as a guest. Not me, another Karl Erikson. Had a ton of fun learning about my better-looking doppleganger. He’s clearly living the life.
Friends You Should Be Listening To
Clearly, You’re Retarded. It’s Miss Britt and Adam Avitable going at it every week. A point/counterpoint type of show, there’s a controversial topic each week and Britt and Adam screech at each other for 60 minutes. Well, Britt does the screeching. Adam just laughs out loud on the inside and says, “Yeah?” a lot while Britt screams, “Are you fucking KIDDING me?!”
Lick! Slam! Suck! – the unofficial TequilaCon podcast. Granted, not everyone is going to TequilaCon, even though they should. But with Santa Fe only a week away, Dawg’s and Poppy’s podcast is a great way to get yourself acquainted with NM before you get there. (Sorry, can’t find the iTunes link, but the link above will get you to the Talkshoe page for the show.)
Podcasts I Listen to Regularly
This Week in Tech (TWiT). Full of weekly geeky goodness. All the tech/gadget news you can handle with Leo Laporte and weekly guests. Great show.
Today in iPhone. It is what the title indicates, only important if you have an iPhone. Lots of good information, including weekly app reviews.
Wordpress Weekly. More geeky goodness. Wordpress users only need apply.
The Official LOST Podcast. The creators/producers of “Lost” get together for regular podcasts during the viewing season. Some are just a few minutes long, some are half an hour. Most contain Q&A from fans. I love this show.
Stuff You Should Know. Totally off the wall at times, this is the podcast from the site HowStuffWorks.com. This show presents a different topic each time, some of them quite eclectic. Some recent titles include:
- Do Toads Cause Warts?
- Bizarre Ways to Die.
- How Aphrodisiacs Work.
- How Money Laundering Works.
The Adam Carolla Podcast. Funny, funny guy with great guests. This is a 5-day-a-week podcast and I can’t possibly listen to them all, but when I do, I always enjoy it. Recent guests include Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane, Larry Miller, Kevin Nealon, and Danica Patrick.
How About You?
What podcasts are in your subscription list? Love to hear from you.
