Here was the promo for the June 21st Weird Medicine as it ran on XM 202. This was the first time I attempted to do a real “production piece”. Since then I bought a “real” microphone (CAD e100) to replace the CAD 22-A’s we’ve been using. Hopefully production will sound a little better in the future.
I have this friend named Shannon ”The Cinema Warrior” and he’s a genius. His interests are GrindCore music, Troma Films, and legalizing marijuana. I thought it’d be fun to just geek out and talk about BattleStar Galactica, David Lynch movies, and the medical use of marijuana (I mean, the show IS called “Weird Medicine” after all).
Check out Shannon’s stuff at http://www.saturdaynightgrindhouse.com (up sometime this month), and http://www.myspace.com/tromaworld.
The comic and game shop we mention is http://www.dewaynes-world.com. Possibly the greatest shop of its kind in the country.
Hope you enjoy it!
John and I really wanted to do this tonight, but it’s mostly impromptu (which you can tell).
Anxiety is a huge problem worldwide, and people who don’t suffer from it have trouble understanding those who do. Also, it’s extremely treatable. We may be able to do a better job on the podcast (ugh, the worst outtro ever), but the sentiment is there.
We love our friend Fezzie and if this helps anyone at all, it’s because of our high regard for him.
Well here it is, the nerve-laden second segment of the Weird Medicine Addendum. I think with this one, we’ve answered all the emails, posted a few to our forum, and answered the rest in our podcasts. We’re experiencing some growing pains; I need to buy new microphones for the “stu-stu-studio” because the ones we’re using are crap and pick up every touch and every paper rattle and every breath…ugh, they just sound awful. On top of that, Jill and John are sharing a mic and I’ve been too lazy to add a third headset so John’s doing without.
Topics in this podcast include: alternative treatments for psoriasis, alternative treatments for multiple sclerosis (disappointing on both counts), male nipple discharge, palpitations, keloids, and narcotic addiction (we just scratched the surface on this one…for a more complete discussion of treatments for narcotic addiction, check out the premium podcasts in the forum section).
Enjoy. We need to do a lot more of these to even come close to the professionalism I’m hoping we’ll someday achieve. There are glimmers of hope in this one, so we’ll press on.
For some reason, we were nervous doing this podcast. Maybe it was flashbacks to doing the show live on XM, maybe it was having John’s lovely wife PA Jill in the studio with us for the first time. Anyway, we got through about half the questions when I started getting cell phone calls and beeps from the hospital. Being the professionals that we are, we cut the show short. We’ll do “Part 2″ later this week.
Enjoy; let us know how you like the podcast. We have tons of these “in the can” that we made while we were practicing for our XM show. Not sure if they’re worth posting but we’ll see.
Thank you for all the support out there; it keeps us going and we’ll work hard to make “Weird Medicine” more fun, entertaining, and yes, even useful on some level.
