Supernova Earth 24- News and Protopodcasting

Here's some down and dirty show notes for Supernova Earth 24

We welcome guest host Dan Patterson, and will write more about the show tomorrow.  This is the defintion of Podcasting on the fly.

News Roundup is followed by a good commentary on protopodcasting, as long promised.

Here are the songs we played, none of which we had anything to do with recording.

1:  MIA- Bird Flu

2:  Mickey Avalon -  Mr. Right

3: Rancid - Damnation

Supernova Earth 23- Protopodcasts, Health Care, and Jah

Here is Supernova Earth 23.  Today we continue our protopodcast experiment, and the sound problems of the previous episode seemed to have worked themselves out, by turning off the spdif digital input. 

We originally intended to feature Dan Patterson, who for all I know invented the protopodcast.  But technical difficulties and the late hour precluded his participation tonight.  We nonetheless carried on.

We discussed protopodcasts, and in our news roundup, we talked about health care.  I include a link to NPR's interactive discussion of the pro's and cons of the various health care plans out there, and you can get there by clicking THIS link.  Additionally, Ben Bernanke is back and the CIA is in trouble.

Supernova Earth 23 features Stacy Duffy's production that she made for the show 3 years ago.  It's so nice to have another voice on the show, and those little sweeps have gotten a LOT of milage.  Additionally, the show features three loud and hardcore tracks (none of which I had anything to do with recording), listed below:

1: NOFX - You're Wrong

2:  Bad Brains - How Low Can a Punk Go?

3:  Sick of It All - Sanctuary

 

Hope you all enjoy!  Long Live Supernova Earth!

Supernov Earth 22- New Regime, New Format

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to present Supernova Earth 22.  IN response to Dan Patterson's Protopodcast, we have also switched up Supernova Earth in the spirit of his new show.  We followed this simple calculus

Shorter Shows+Less Talk+More Music=Easier Production, More Shows, Interesting to Audience

We're going back to the past with the new format, including podsafe music and fewer talksets.  In Supernova Earth 22, I talk about the new format, health care reform, taxes, and STD's.  We also play the following podsafe music

1:  Buju Banton - Paid not PLayed

2: Rancid - Dead Bodies

3:  The Argyle Pimps - Buy Us a Drink

Get back to me with comments.  Do you like it, Yes no, Want more Rush Limbaugh?  Let me know!

Supernova Earth 21: Marxist Extravaganza

The first new content to come out in a LONG time has yet to be published, so here it is.  This is Supernova Earth 21, with Guest host Quentin Lewis.  In this episode, we spend a long time talking about how calling Obama a socialist is wrong, and anyone who knows anything about socialism and Marixsm can see that.  But for those of you who don't know anything about Marxism, this show is on that topic.

You will note the prevailing poor sound quality of this show.  It was recorded via skype, but the sound quality of Quentin's mic leaves somethign to be desires, and the result from post-prod is really muddy.  Like Michael Jackson's face, I am sure there is something worth listening to in there, but I can't stand to look at it.  Supernova Earth 21 has fantastic content, perhaps the best we have ever put out, but since it's aesthetically unpleasing, you really have to make some compromises.  But listen to it anyway, and give me comments.

In addition, here are several sites that Quentin suggested listeners be pointed to, to further educate themselves.  It is important that people take a look at these sites so they can reliee themselves of ignorance.

Supernova Earth #1- The Early Days

Fresh off the Creepy Sleepy Show, this was the first attempt at doing an internet broadcast myself.  Pretty sad, but you can check how far I came from these early days when I had practically no original elements to where I'm at today.

SUPERNOVA EARTH 20 IS RELEASED!

Long awaited supershow, Supernova Earth 20 featuring the old skool crew jib jabbing about the election. Dan joins me in a electoral prediction fiesta. We released this as a SNE show to be able to present our viewpoints without worrying about standards and practices. And now we present it to you. This show will also be cross-referenced as Creepy Sleepy 150 after the election, but for now it is going up in the SNE feed.

Contentwise, we discussed the various news-politics issues and the VP roll-out, our predictions for tomorrow and this campaign as an extended go metaphor. I also included some great old Supernova Earth production and a couple classics from the radio days. We hope you enjoy.

Also, Dan wanted me to mention two sites we used while making this show. These are great resources for political junkies all the way to politically uninformed.

The first is 538.com. It is a site which predicts outcomes based on baseball algorithms. Don't ask me to explain. Just check this site out, and I am betting you will have a fairly accurate prediction of the landslide that will be toimorrow.

The second is mapmash.com, where you can check out polls, predictions from across the news landscape, and make your own road to victory for one or the other of the campaigns. See if it is possible, then check your own predictions against 538's.

We love you all. Happy Selection Day
Serenely,
W. Doc

Supernova 19 is out

Ladies and Gentlemen, get your passports because we're going to Canada! That's right, for the first time in recent memory (maybe forever) you are now required to present a passport to reenter the country from Canada! What will these wacky fascists in the Department of Homeland Security think of next?! This law only applies to American nationals, who are, of course most likely to be turists (Bushism for Islamicists in general), and not foreign nationals, who represent the single most dangerous threat the law is supposed to be protecting our glorious christian white republic from. If these individuals truely hate our freedoms, we don't have to worry, cause soon we won't have any left.

So get your passport and lets cross the longest undefended boarder today! Supernova Earth will be with you the entire way with analysis of what this law means as well as tips that you too can use to gum up the facist system in airports.

Who loves ya, Baby?! Download Supernova 19 today!

Supernova 18 is out

Check it out. it's a down and dirty election post mortem. Naturally, I didn't cover all the topics I would have liked, but I can talk about politics for days, and you all would likely get bored. So, you can listen to me talk for 30 minutes and feel that you have an election recap that you can count on, light on the punditry and heavy on the truth.

Here's the Link for Supernova 18- Election deCap

Supernova 17 and National Security Archive

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to present Supernova 17. In this show we talk about your duties when you go to the polls Tuesday, the stupidity and predictability of Sadaam Hussein's guilty verdict (and the expected, but unwanted sentence to hang accidently imposed by an "independent" Iraqi judicial system, against the interests of the United States), and Chavez getting all uppity again over the upcoming election in his country, and America's predictably jingoistic response. At the end, we play a tune from Red Champion (this link goes to their Myspace Page), who is possibly the single greatest (as in best) band from Rapid City South Dakota. This song has cussing in it, but it is probably nothing you never heard before.

So, download Supernova 17 today!

In other news, you all have got to visit this site: National Security Archives. I was pointed toward this site while researching the nonsense that went on in Chile in 1973 and America's activities in this country, and discovered a VERY valuable resource for finding information about America's real role in overthrowing governments, destabilizing allies, killing foreign nationals, and repressing the people in our own country. What these people do is go after the government under Freedom of Information Act, and get documents declassified which demonstrate US government culpability in violence both at home and abroad. This is NOT conspiracy theory stuff, my friends. This is the real deal, signed and approved by our own government itself. They publish both analysis of the documents (for the lazy among us) and actual photos of the documents themselves for you to look at them and read them for yourself.

It is a fascinating site, and I have just barely scratched the surface of what they have going on there. So check is out. That's the National Security Archive (The are not in anyway affiliated with the National Security Agency, but you can bet that people who go visit their site are being monitored by the NSA.)

See ya next time, eatin the pudding.

Supernova 16 is now out

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Since we are getting things squared away here at the Supernova Earth Show, we are pleased to announce the publication of Supernova 16. In this show we discuss Peter Kornbluh's excellent book on the US involvement in the overthrow of Allende's government in 1973, Castro's litteral rise (he's standing and talking now! Good Boy! Papa Doc's so proud of him.) Evo Morales throwing eggs at those Marxist defeatists who pray to St. Marx every night for his failure, and the GAO informing America that they are on a one way trip to economic disaster. Good fun. Download it today.
