The ninety-ninthth episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: continued debate over how to celebrate our upcoming 100th podcast; a Frankenstain’s monster-related challenge, which evolves into discussion of childhood games and toys; Paul incorrectly describes his “buffer size” as his “sample rate;” an Evel Knievel alarm clock idea; Halloween candies and the associations they carry; book recommendations of James Kakalios and Nathan Rabin; Storm continues his analysis of hipsters; and we mourn the loss of Storm’s faithful Jetta.

As has been revealed now, we helped host the Adventure Quest Worlds’ 2nd Birthday Event. This involved our letting them use a couple of our songs—including some previously-unreleased instrumental tracks to use as background music—for a brand new web-based MMORPG. They even made us into ACTUAL GAME CHARACTERS, as well as our friend Jonathan Coulton, whose image and song “Skullcrusher Mountain” make cameo appearances! (see picture)
It was a blast working with ARtix, Cysero and the whole AQ gang; thanks so much for including us as a part of the Mirror Realm!
If you are interested in playing the adventure, go there now!
Also, if you have played the game and followed the link to come find us here, welcome! The songs you heard, “Cruel, Cruel Moon” and “Nugget Man“, can be purchased here, and are also available on iTunes. Sit down, stay a while!

The ninety-eighthrdst episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: We solicit ideas for possible special things to do (or not to do) for podcast #100; we reflect on Acknowledgement Day; a technology deprivation challenge devolves (evolves?) into a discussion of nougat and candy corn; Storm hates cucumbers; the etymology of “cool;” hipster disdain; Storm’s schoolday troubles with a cartoon collection; we recommend some Mamet films and Dr. Demento; and things w00tstockical are discussed.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Is there anything you think we should to do mark our 100th podcast? Also, what technology would you choose to do without?
Show #098: Cucumbers Altogether

as/6/686387708.jpg” alt=”” width=”200″ height=”136″ />The ninety-seventhrst episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: special guest James Urbaniak lends us his mellifluous tones for what ended up being two whole podcasts, after a technical error erases James’ audio from the first (nearly complete) attempt. We discuss the infectious nature of the Jesus Christ Superstar original concept album (and contemplation of an all-“Venture Bros.” version of it); working as a voice actor on “The Venture Bros.”; Los Angeles vs. New York; working with and learning form Woody Allen, Sean Penn and Al Pacino; James’s highly successful and completely fictitious jam company; and some fictional battles, including Yogi the Bear vs. Winnie the Pooh, and Rusty Venture vs. Phantom Limb.
As a special bonus, for the truly thorough, we are also posting the original, “lost” podcast—or, at least, the Paul and Storm tracks. If you listen carefully, you might be able to catch little snippets of James coming through our headsets; but for the most part, you will have to just imagine his very interesting and insightful comments. (Though we won’t post it to our main podcast feed, as we are not sadists)
