JC on the NPR

My boy Coulton was on the Soundcheck program from WNYC. I listened to it and while I thought Johnny Geekrock did just fine, I thought the show in general and the host in specific sucked. It had all that condescending smugness you associate with NPR talk shows coupled with some general underinformedness. Perhaps that guys is bucking to be sufficiently condescending to one day become host of Talk of the Nation.

I decide on the spur of the moment to throw myself a second anniversary bash for this podcast (which began on August 20, 2004 – we start the party early around here, you frigging late-comers). I play the music of friends of the show – Paul Melancon, Rocket City Riot, Jonathan Coulton, the Gentle Readers, Steadman and Michelle Malone. I talk in the interstitial bits about life and love and loss, about why I podcast and why I care and who I care about and why we all need the little bits of joy we can scrape up in this shitty life we are in. Thanks for sticking with me, on to the next two years and beyond.

This episode is all about Jonathan Coulton featuring an interview with him plus a boatload of his music. Enjoy!

This is the first episode with the new Behringer UB802 mixer. My voice is muddled at the beginning, I didn’t notice that the EQ settings were funky until the middle of the show. Also, the music bed might have been too high at points. Sorry, Jonathan, for experimenting with new equipment on your show.
