Radio waves


Hopeful radio waves
Dopeful radio waves

Roger Waters - Radio Waves

We are about 8 shows into our "SnarkAlecs" Internet radio show on Live 365's Loud N Loaded Station.  Fun fact: I am incapable saying those last 6 words in order and correctly on ANY of our past shows.

So far so good.  I'm very appreciative that @officialpagan * extended this opportunity to us and actually joined us for our second show.  During his visit, we all bonded over our contempt of The Walking Dead's Andrea.  

@yeungjeans * has done two shows with us, including a painful reliving of Troll 2.  She took FOUR pages of notes to prepare for that episode.  I was equally impressed and dismayed.  She is simply an amazing person to talk to, and keep an eye out for her upcoming videocast Bring Out Your Geek

@Holidill joined us for the big The Walking Dead recap and even shared an interpretive dance recounting of the final episode.  Interpretive dance is ALWAYS good radio (awesome Milton BTW @Holidill).

@dawnsnarks * did the next show with us, and outside of the crazy talk the chocolate wine is actually fit for human consumption, she came up aces.

@muderalotta's appearance was the perfect trifecta of Comic Con insight, collectibles, and professional wrestling tidbits.

Which brings us to my co-conspirators Mel (@kmaric9 *) and Tony (@tonysolo *).  When Tony asked if I would be interested in doing this show, I did my usual .005 seconds of introspection and replied....

Sure.

I so glad I did - it has been a blast.  The blend of Tony's passion and eye for the details, Mel's serious movie/book/thinkgeek cred along with her remarkable fusion of candor and kindness, and my general strangeness work well together I think.  The fact we all actually are interested in what the other people have to say helps too.

I also have to thank the group of like minded folks out there that catch us live streaming off Tony's YouTube channel each Thursday around 8pm EST (and then, of course, re-listen repeatedly on Live 365).  Special props to @TScottBrave for engineering some sort of combination of a golf cart, mobile phone, and neighbor's wifi to catch one show.  Keep live tweeting at us with the #snarkalecs hashtag. Tony and Mel have lifted the "No Twitter for Kelly during the show" ban (focus issues, legit) and we will all keep trying to do a better job in staying on top of them live.

One of the happiest accidents in working with Tony and Mel is the following video.  Mel said the "Yay Google, yay zombies" as only she can, Tony came up with the idea to mash up a bunch of folks repeating it and rounded up a bunch of volunteers, and I cobbled it together.  As an extra bonus, we even cajoled Allison Victoria/@allisonvic ("Girl in Boat" in Swamp Shark) and Christina Bach/@ladystage (Dana in 2 Headed Shark Attack) to join in the fun.

Enjoy

* = while my words may have stumbled into what might be incorrectly interpreted as positive territory for these individuals, let me remind my readers that they are all ENEMIES OF THE STATE, ULTRA-ENEMIES OF THE STATE, or both.  Just to be clear here.

  1. Yay for enemies of the state! Also, stories regarding the length and breadth of my notes may be exaggerated.
