Podcast Cruise 2.0 Discussion Thread Deux

[Becx N Gav]

Morning all.
I'll settle for Friday.
Looking forward to the podcast tomorrow - it's facebook to facebook questions today right?

I don't know - you're the one with the iPhone Has Pete posted anything yet? I need to think of some good questions

I found my iPod!
It was between the wall and a piece of furniture.
I really missed it.

For something else to listen to for the car commute, I started listening to the book Bee Season. Maybe I should continue with that and give the podcasts a rest. What do you think? Maybe book in the car and podcasts for the gym?

Oh well done, the only problem with all these gadgets is that they are so small and easy to lose
I've only got 1 audio book which I really enjoyed. It's good to mix things up a bit

I think the facebook to facebook replaces the e-mail show.

That's what I thought and I was thinking it was this week

Have you ever done podcast books? I love the short story format...PseudoPod is horror, Podcastle is mostly fantasy, Escape Pod is sci-fi.

Oh, and of course you can always try different podcasts, like NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! That one just cracks me up! (okay, maybe not the best thing when you're driving...)

Oh, and try out Rose and Trout...you might appreciate the humor. I know I do!

Oh, I will have to check these out Mindy. So with these podcast books are there any famous authors you've heard? Or is it more of a platform for up and coming talent?

Thanks for the short story suggestions. Some people do not like short stories because they are over too soon. I am always amazed how fantastic a great short story can be, how macu can be packed into a tight little package.

I usually hear Don't Wait "live" on the radio.

Rose and Trout Downeast - gotta try that one!

I love short stories, when I get a chance to read these are so much better as I can finish them in one sitting, I'll put down longer books and come back months later and have to catch up on the last couple of chapters before I can continue

These are some great suggestions - we'll have to check em out.
I often wondered about trying something other than music or the Dis podcasts for my daily commute.

Ps - congrats on finding your Ipod. Must have been a great sense of relief.
I lost a lid to a tub a few weeks ago and it took poor Becx ages to find it.
Still haven't found any money down the back of the sofa - that must be a myth!

That lid was essential too so we could take the laundry gel capsules with us on vacation! Oh and you don't find money because I'm always the one that cleans out the sofa

Nice one Todd

So is this thread moving faster than the last one? I seem to remember it started off pretty quick but then slowed to a crawl.

Happy Toosday folks!

Have you been sick? So sorry and I hope you're feeling better - did wonder where you were Yep all us crazies have been at it and I even got Gav to join in

Had the worse flu...I was flat out for days and everything ached - who knew eyelids could ache I've got a cold leftover now but as DH says, "I'm happy to be alive!" At least I've gotten the flu over with before the Xmas holidays!

I did notice Gav posting how you 2 talk via this thread

I hear you on the Vinylmation. DP keeps bringing it up. Maybe for Christmas. And speaking of Muppets, there was renewed talk of the Muppet Whats-It Shop going in at the Studios....

OMG, I'm soooo excited for this!!! When the Whats-It-Shop shows up, I know resistance is futile...I'm sure DH will be

So is this thread moving faster than the last one?

I wonder why

Beautiful sunny weather the last few days and the fall foliage is looking spectacular - we went for a walk yesterday just to enjoy it.

cheers,

Hi ya I forgot too say we had toad in the hole over the weekend - it was yummy

Glad you are feeling better - flu really sucks, hope the cold symptoms go soon. As you say though at least you've got it all out before Christmas (and Thanksgiving)

Who wouldn't want a What's It? Not a wotsit though

Hi ya! That is why I haven't joined Farmville
I was reading that we're supposed to be having a heat wave over the next few days - temps over 20 degrees centigrade which I think is about 70 degrees F! It's a tropical breeze apparently

 

[Gav N Becx]

Mmmmm Wotsits. They make a good sandwich with a slice or two of cheese

I think I would like Wotsits very much. But I haven't seen them on my store shelf.

 

[Gav N Becx]

They're like Cheetos but I think Wotsits taste better. They kinda melt in your mouth and leave a strong yet sweet cheesy flavour.
Hoo ha.
They released a BBQ Beef flavour in the early 90s-ish. Would like to see them make a comeback!

 

[Becx N Gav]

That's a lot of wotsits

 

[mainegal]

I most definitely want some!!!

 

[Becx N Gav]

I most definitely want some!!!

They are yummy They also did prawn cocktail flavour too - not my favourite I prefer Skips

No. It is like when Julie listed everything that was celebrated in the month of October.

 

[klam_chowder]

Happy Hump Day folks!

The supermarket here has a good selection of British stuff in the Intn'l section...I'm going to see if they have wosits next week!

Ha! If you want we can send you a selection of British crisps We saw some crisps and sweets in Epcot in the UK pavillion and couldn't believe how much they were charging I told DH we should bring a few boxes next time and sell them at half the price and we'd still make a profit

 

[Cherinva]

Good morning Everyone!!!

 

[mainegal]

hhmmm... but International shipping?
But crisps are light, so not so expensive to ship? Might take you up on it. Do the calories disappear over the ocean, I hope?

It really doesn't cost that much! Ummm, they use sun oil these days which is better for you! And less salt - maybe if the calories are metric then when you convert them it won't be so bad
