Georgia Podcast Network

This is our second live show (here's the first), and it was very exciting because we actually had several chat room participants, and a caller! Jen, use your $20 Inserection gift card wisely.

Things discussed:

• Voicemails from Nobilis, Jen, and Tony. Thanks y'all, and keep 'em coming. Drunk-dialing is accepted and encouraged. My favorite was Tony's voicemail about Northside Drive, so maybe he should get the other Inserection gift card, and you two can buy something extra-special.
• Our thoughts on CBS' new show, Swingtown. We are brimming with opinions about this show. We didn't get around to talking about the possible anachronisms, but perhaps next time. I'm guessing the chances are pretty good that there will be a next time, since we're already planning to watch at least the third episode.
• I read a ridiculous ad from Xcitement Magazine, and rant semi-coherently about becoming discouraged about the adult industry ~8-10 years ago.

We've just returned from Balticon; in this talkie, we discuss our experience there (and a few other topics).

Some more detailed notes:

• Another voicemail from Nobilis. He is podcast voicemail Jesus.
• Answers to questions sent via Twitter.
• Thoughts on the "Don't Be That Guy" session at Balticon - the good, the bad, the ugly, the poorly planned, the psychosomatic reaction inducing.
• Here are a few links about Nice Guys™:
  • Nice Guys We Can Do Without
  • How to be a Real Nice Guy
  • The Nice Guy That Wasn't
  • Not specifically Nice Guy™ focused, but very relevant: An Open Letter to Geeky Guys
• We offer a few suggestions for next year's Balticon, including an idea for a panel.
• Rusty's review of Magical Clothes.
• We're going on a road trip to Columbus, GA next weekend. What should we do there?

Our first-ever live talkie on Talkshoe wasn't too much of a catastrophe, other than Comcast cutting us off about 12 minutes in. We only lost about three minutes out of 30. Here's what we talked about:

• Voicemails from Griftdrift and Nobilis in response to our last talkie where we got weird and existential
• Discussion about Sex 2.0
• Responses to the Atlanta Press Club ethics panel session

Thanks to everyone who tuned in! Please leave your thoughts in the comments here, by emailing us at info@gapodcastnetwork.com, or by leaving us a voicemail at 678.389.9441. We'd love to hear what you liked and didn't like about the live format, or existential rants.

Halfway into February, it's time for our first talkie of 2008. This screenshot should give you an idea of what to expect:

Here's a little more detail:

• We play two voicemail messages from Nobilis. In the second one, he asks a question, and we answer.
• Why the heck haven't you people called in your creepy bug/snake stories?
• We went to Trapeze last night and I was in the poorly-conceived (or at least poorly-executed) "Strippers Ball," for a minute at least.
• Talk of the Strippers Ball leads to a tangent about sex clubs in theory vs. practice, and annoying drunk people.
• Can anyone give us a good, clear description of how delegates work in the Presidential election?
• Thoughts on social media conferences in general, and a bit on PodCamp Nashville specifically
• Sex 2.0 updates, and promo

Many topics were discussed in this talkie, which was recorded at the Starbucks on Moreland Ave. while we took a break from walking around the Inman Park Festival. Among them:

• The aforementioned Inman Park Festival. Our friends Sas and Pauline from TrueGritz along with the Shelbinator were featured in the parade. Here's the link we promised about Baton Bob.
• Amber's new phone and her aversion toward new-fangled gadgets
• Voicemails (edited in after the fact) from a caller who didn't care for John Haven's remarks mentioned in our last talkie, and a heartfelt apology over voicemail from the man himself (note: about 6 minutes long).
• My gall stones, and the possibility that if I have surgery I might Twitter the shit out of it.
• Questions taken over Twiiter from Joeventures and Patrick
• Expanding on Amber's idea for a conference
• Thoughts on the first-ever Atlanta Net² meeting and the pending podcast to be hosted on GAPN.

This installment of Meet Your Affiliates is actually a two-fer. Laura and Sasha are both on The Coffee and Tea Show, and Laura is also on The Rocky Horror Pod Show.

Also included in this episode:

• Obligatory PodCamp Atlanta promo
• Listener feedback from another Rusty
