Another thrilling show full of depressing topics. I guess the current situation of the world does not seem good right now. We talk economics, jobs, sexual diseases, food prices, gas prices, and other such downers! lol We also play a couple of voice mails.

This really is the "Disturbing Show" this time around. Seems like it's mostly bad news out there lately. Not to worry - though - the kids turn it around towards the last half with optimism and good cheer. Topics include public school woes, YouTube celebrity, rising taxes, safety vs. profits as seen in two industries, earthquakes, worst songs ever... But some great news about Dallas and vinyl album sales!

Not much production on this show. Every time I use the software that I use now - Logic Express - it acts differently. I just haven't had the time (and won't) for awhile to really learn it very well I guess. I thought it would be a productivity enhancer and it's turning out to be the exact opposite. And I suppose the infrequency of these podcasts make it so that I forget any little tricks that I learned last time. Summertime should allow me some time to really learn this software (have other things going on that require my focus) so until then there probably won't be much of anything on these podcasts except for the talk. Which, hopefully, is all you really care about anyway!

We're back refreshed after the holidays. Except I still have problems with my new recording software. I chopped off the first couple of minutes of the show. So to summarize - here is what you missed: "Hi, this is Jeff" "And this is Gretchen" "And you are listening to This And That Podcast, Show Number 62" "62 what?" "Yea, I think it's a prime number" yada yada yada.... Besides for that the show is a good one - really believe us. Politics, economics, poetry, UFO's in Texas, some 2007 retrospectives and other fun and startling topics await!

Holy cow. Sorry for the long show. Next time I will bring a timer to the studio. Lots of topics today and this show marks the first show using my new equipment. I still don't have all the quirks figured out yet but at least we got the show out. Lots of topics today as you can imagine with 80 minutes! We comment about health, quirks, China, and the ever exploding information world that we live in. Promise to be within 60 minutes next time...

Oh boy, really lucky to get this podcast out. It was recorded a week ago but I seemed to have lost the use of my audio drivers on my PC halfway into the production and was only able to hobble it together (even that was lucky!) using Audacity on my laptop instead of the usual tools. I apologize in advance as it might take a while to get the next show out as I will have to get a new PC and am looking into buying some new tools (and the learning curves behind all that). BUT - you don't care about all that - the current show is up and ready.... so enjoy!
